Smart Cups started by creating the World’s First Printed Beverage — a printed energy drink that introduced our technology to the world and earned us recognition as a TIME Magazine Invention of the Year and winner of Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars.

But Smart Cups is not just about cups.

Our patented zero-liquid technology lets us print flavor, vitamins, electrolytes, nutrients and medications onto almost any surface— not just the recycled paper cups we use for our branded products. We can print on paper, glass, plastic, aluminum, edible films, snacks, bars, tortillas, and more.

Just Add Water!

No bottles. No heavy liquid shipping. No refrigeration.
Just sustainable, efficient, instant nutrition.

Smart Cups isn’t redefining cups.
We’re redefining how the world accesses nutrition.

Explore Smart Cups Technology™

Each printed Smart Cup contains tiny plant-based “capsules” that hold flavor, vitamins, electrolytes, or nutrients in place. These ingredients stay safely printed on the surface until water touches the print — then they release instantly, mix automatically, and transform the cup or bowl into a drink or nutritious meal.

It’s simple:

We print the ingredients.
You add the water.
The product makes itself.

And the best part?
Our printing technology works on virtually any food-safe surface, not just cups. The possibilities are endless —
limited only by imagination.

The best part is that our revolutionary technology is not limited to cups.
Imagination is the only limitation!
