Tossware Success Story with Real-Time 3D Customization
A success story with Decq Creativ
Tossware, North America’s premier shatterproof drinkware brand since 2014, excels in eco-luxury alternatives to glass, blending style, durability, and recyclability. With surging demand for low-MOQ custom prints in hospitality and events—fueled by 46% employee growth and viral social buzz the company required an advanced Web-to-Print tool to automate workflows, cut prepress bottlenecks, and sustain 50%+ YoY expansion without scaling staff.
About Tossware
Tossware is a U.S.-based pioneer in sustainable drinkware, founded in 2014 by Benson Liu and Michael Fun. Headquartered in Fontana, California, with manufacturing in El Monte, our 21-member team crafts shatterproof essentials from recycled materials for venues, weddings, and retail.
The business:
A vibrant online platform at tossware.com for personalized, recyclable drinkware from single units to 10,000+ targeting events, stadiums, and eco-retail. Customize via 3D previews for full-color, 360° prints on tumblers (12oz/16oz), stemless wines, flutes, rocks glasses, and mason jars.
Highlights: Patented stackability, BPA-free rPET (one recycled water bottle per cup), dishwasher-safe RESERVE Tritan line, compostable NATURAL plant-based options, and tiered pricing for bulk.
Streamlining Customization Amid Hospitality Boom
As the go-to for upscale disposables in stadiums and festivals, Tossware navigated scaling pains in high-volume personalization.
- Manual Design Overload: Processing intricate event graphics and proofs strained the creative team, delaying seasonal launches.
- Proof Approval Delays: Back-and-forth emails on BATs clashed with tight timelines for branded activations, risking lost deals.
- Low-Volume Profit Squeeze: Custom runs as small as 50 units eroded margins due to labor-intensive file prep and validation.
- Rapid Growth Pressures: 50%+ annual expansion demanded tools to handle viral orders without inflating headcount or errors.
