Started with three machines. Still measuring in millimetres.

One tolerance

NatroCup has spent twelve years making paper cups for the coffee and vending world. The first customers were coffee kiosks and vending operators in Istanbul; today a team of 250 people keeps the forming lines running and the name travels far beyond the city.

The 6,000 m² plant in Arnavutkoy turns out a billion and a half cups a year. NatroCup is a registered trademark. Every size is available with PE coating and with a plastic-free compostable coating, printed to order.

Our cups serve coffee across Europe, the Americas and the Balkans. A distributor in France carries the brand through Western Europe, alongside partner distributors in Portugal, Italy and the United States. What all of them need from us is stable dimensions, a stable price and a truck that arrives on the day we said.

  1. One paperboardVirgin fibre cupstock from two European mills, so a 12 oz cup ordered in March matches the one ordered in October.
  2. One toleranceRim diameter ± 0.3 mm. Lids from any supplier fit, and the cup stays straight in the sleeve.
  3. One contactEach customer has one person in Istanbul who answers the phone and follows the order from artwork to delivery.
