Smart Cups is redefining how the world delivers and consumes ingredients.
We are the creators of the World’s First Printed Beverage—a patented technology that eliminates liquid by embedding ingredients directly onto surfaces. With just the addition of water, our products instantly activate, transforming logistics, sustainability, and product experience across industries.
JUST ADD WATER!
By removing the need to ship liquids, Smart Cups significantly reduces packaging waste, transportation costs, extends shelf life, reduces refrigeration needs, and lowers carbon emissions, offering a scalable solution for global brands seeking smarter, more sustainable supply chains.
Our platform has applications across multiple sectors, including pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, veterinary, food, and beverage, and has been validated through commercial use with partners ranging from emerging brands to some of the world’s largest CPG companies. After proving demand through a multimillion-dollar direct-to-consumer model, we are now focused on expanding through a licensing and partnership strategy.
Smart Cups has been recognized as one of TIME’s Best Inventions and gained global attention through media coverage and as the winning company on Season 1 of Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars.
We’re not just improving products—we’re transforming how they’re delivered.
Since opening in Greenville, SC in 1976, our goal has been to provide you with the packaging supplies you need fast, affordably, and now, Eco-Friendly! It seems everyone is “going green” and now, so are we! We offer several products that are either recyclable or biodegradable.
