Licensed Character Cups & Co-Branding for Your F&B Brand
We have produced millions of licensed character cups for a national F&B group — from license-holder artwork approval to mass printing with food-grade inks. MOQ 10,000 pcs per design.
Licensed Character Cups for a National F&B Group — Millions of Units
A national F&B group ran a co-branding campaign featuring an internationally licensed animation character on its kids beverage line. SEAL handled the production side end-to-end: artwork proofing to the licensor style guide, batch-to-batch Pantone color matching, low-migration food-grade inks, and on-schedule delivery of millions of units for the retail campaign. Client and character names are not published — details can be discussed in a meeting (NDA available).
Licensed Character Workflow
From brand to license holder to print approval — we know exactly where the manufacturer role stops and the licensor role begins.
Your Brand Secures the License
Character usage rights are negotiated directly between your brand and the license holder. SEAL does not sell or sublicense character IP.
License-Holder Artwork Approval
Artwork is prepared to the character style guide, then reviewed and approved by the license holder. We are familiar with international licensor revision cycles.
SEAL Print Proof & Sample
SEAL produces a digital proof and printed sample with Pantone color matching, for final brand and license-holder approval before mass production.
Mass Production & Food-Grade QC
Production up to millions of units with batch-to-batch color consistency, low-migration food-grade inks, and QC in an ISO 22000 & Halal certified facility.
Food-Grade Ink & Printing Specs
Licensed characters demand precise color — and F&B packaging demands food safety. Both are standard at SEAL.
Low-Migration Food-Grade Inks
Printing inks formulated for food packaging with low-migration properties, separated from food contact by PE or PLA coating on the cup interior.
CMYK Offset + Pantone Spot Color
Full-color offset and flexographic printing up to 8 colors. Pantone spot matching keeps character brand colors exact across millions of units.
ISO 22000 & Halal Certified Facility
ISO 9001 + ISO 45001 + ISO 14001 + ISO 22000 food safety management + Halal. 5M units/month capacity with in-line QC.
Our production is built for brand volumes — not one-off orders. Custom print samples are available at a sampling fee.

Co-Branding That Works on Character Cups
Character collaborations work hardest in categories where the cup is held, photographed, and collected by customers.
Coffee Chains & Beverage Brands
Character-collab limited cup series for seasonal campaigns — a proven traffic and social-content driver for coffee chains.
Dairy, Ice Cream & Yogurt
Character IML and paper cups for kids-focused products — the category where licensed characters lift retail shelf sales the most.
Kids Brands & FMCG
Long-run co-branding programs with animation or game characters — from regular packaging to multi-design collectible series.
