After 5 Sponsor

Stack-Cup Australia is a leading provider of sustainable, reusable cup solutions, designed to enhance event beverage service while reducing single-use plastic waste. Specialising in the manufacture and distribution of Stack-Cups, our innovative product offers unmatched convenience and safety, enabling attendees to carry multiple cups in one hand thanks to its unique stackable handle. This allows users to hold up to four drinks (or more) in one hand while still having the ability to safely grip a handrail, significantly improving the overall user experience at events.


Our cups are made from high-quality, durable materials and feature In Mould Labelling (IML), offering customisation options to meet the branding and event-specific needs of our clients. This feature makes Stack-Cup an excellent choice for a wide range of events and venues.

The response from attendees has been overwhelmingly positive, with many engaging in discussions about the stackability of the cups and sustainability. We observe enthusiastic conversations amongst patrons as they appreciate the convenience of the design and its environmental benefits.


Stack-Cup Australia is committed to sustainability and local production, with plans for manufacturing in Perth, supporting the local economy. We've worked with various SANFL clubs and events, including the Bathurst 1000 and Beer & BBQ Festival, and of course the multi-award-winning RAC Arena, delivering efficient, eco-friendly solutions that enhance customer experiences while reducing waste.


Our mission is to help the event industry adopt more sustainable practices without compromising on convenience, safety, or enjoyment.


Stack-Cup stacks up for Sustainability!
