Bloom & Brew — from weekend pop-up to 12 boba stores
The challenge
Bloom & Brew had a tight five-week window to launch their first permanent store. They needed branded cups to test three lid sizes and finalize their evolving logo—but traditional suppliers were a non-starter.
Ordering in bulk sight unseen would have forced them to commit to thousands of dollars in inventory before proving their concept. They needed an affordable way to validate their design risk-free.
Our solution
Using our 3D Customizer, the Bloom & Brew team uploaded their logo and watched it wrap seamlessly onto a realistic cold cup in seconds. They tested three different colorways and two placement options live—with zero sample fees and no lengthy back-and-forth proofs. Once the look was locked, our low-MOQ production run allowed them to start with just 1,000 cups per size. They approved the design on a Tuesday and held production-ready cups in their hands by the following week.
The result
Bloom & Brew opened on schedule with packaging that looked like a national brand, not a pop-up. The impact was immediate: within eight months, they scaled from a single location to 12 successful stores. As they grew, they continued to reorder larger volumes with the same locked-in design, ensuring brand consistency across every location. Reprints now take days, not weeks.
“We went from a logo file to branded cups on the counter in under a week. Seeing it in 3D before paying for anything is what sold our whole team.” — Mara L., Co-founder of Bloom & Brew
