Starbucks Coffee Cold Cup SVG Template [3 Free SVGs]
Who doesn’t love a good Starbucks drink? Starbucks has these affordable cold cups that are trending all over social media and for good reason. They are super stylish, easy to DIY and can be customized with your Cricut. In this tutorial, I share three SVG templates you can use to customize your Starbucks cold cup.

HOW TO MAKE A CUSTOM STARBUCKS COLD CUP
If you’d rather watch a video on how to make it step by step, take a look at this video here (highly recommended!):
1: Download the Free Starbucks SVG template file
Grab your SVG file from the free resource library.
Unzip the file. If you do not have a program installed on your computer to unzip, I recommend 7-zip. (It’s free! Windows only)
2: Personalize your Starbucks logo
Upload the blank template design in Cricut Design Space.
The designs are already sized for cutting so no sizing adjustments are needed.
I am working with the blank design so I can show you how you can create your own design using the template. I have included a list of phrase ideas at the bottom of this post.
There are two other ready-to-use templates that don’t require any further adjustments. You just need to UNGROUP and ATTACH all of the layers so they cut where they should.
Select the Text tool and start typing the top half of your design. The font you want to use is called Santana-Black.
Curve the text to fit on the template. You may also want to change the Linetype colour to white so you can see it on top of your design.
Repeat with the bottom text.
Select the shapes you want to use.
Make two of them and size them to your template.
Now we need to start “cutting out” our text on our template. Select the layers to do a cut-out and click on “Slice”. This will create three layers.
Slice will cut out three layers – one is the original layer, one is the “cut-out” piece and one is the piece that was cut out. Delete the layers that are not attached to the template.
Repeat these steps until all you are left with is your final layer with all of the pieces cut out.
Now we are ready to cut it out.
3: Cut it out on your Cricut
Cricut Design Space will sort the mats based on colour.
Cut out your design.
4: Weed Your Starbucks template
Now we need to weed our vinyl. (This basically means removing the parts we don’t want to use.)
I liked to start from the corner to get the bigger piece off and then use my weeding tools to get the smaller bits.
Once you are done weeding, transfer your vinyl to your transfer tape.
5: Place your logo on the tumbler or cup
Now that we have our template ready to go on our transfer tape, you can put them on the cup.
Remove the vinyl backing and place the design on our cup.
I started in the middle and pushed down the pattern using my scraper.
Tip // Because we are working with a curved surface, you can cut small slits into the transfer tape so that it applies easier.
Remove the transfer tape.
Because we are using permanent vinyl, a sealant isn’t required. DO NOT EPOXY THESE CUPS. Epoxy will leak into the plastic and is therefore NOT SAFE to use.
NOTE: This cup is NOT microwave-safe. It is HAND WASH ONLY. (No dishwasher!)
That’s all! Doesn’t it look great?

What Vinyl Should I use on my Starbucks Cups?
When you are applying vinyl to a tumbler or cup, you should always use permanent vinyl.
There are lots of different types of vinyl. Do NOT use removable vinyl since this will not last on your cups. With permanent vinyl you can use both outdoor permanent adhesive and regular permanent adhesive. Both will work well.
My favourite brands are Oracal 651 or Cricut Permanent Vinyl.
Can I Put the Starbucks Cup in the Dishwasher?
When using Cricut Vinyl, you should only hand wash your items or wipe them down with a wet cloth.
Starbucks cups with vinyl are not dishwasher safe.
I’ve also been asked if you can epoxy Starbucks Cups to make them last longer. While fully cured epoxy is generally food safe, DO NOT epoxy a Starbucks cold cup since the materials of the cup is plastic. Epoxy should only ever be used over metal tumblers.
