Hi everyone — curious if anyone has recommendations for custom packaging suppliers (paper/plastic cups, etc.)? We’ve been getting quotes from local manufacturers, but the unit pricing is pretty high and would significantly increase our COGS per drink. We’re also considering sourcing through Alibaba, but not sure how reliable it is for this — would love to hear if anyone has experience going that route (quality, lead times, customs, etc.).
