Q&A – Naked vs. Branded Cupholders

What’s the difference between the Naked and Branded cupholders?
The Naked cupholder offers a more budget-friendly option while maintaining the same sleek design language as the Branded version. Both accommodate larger souvenir cups and 1L bottles of water. The Branded cupholder includes a plastic SnapGraphic insert for sponsorships and a 3D logo emblem for enhanced branding opportunities. Both models are available in custom colors to match your team or venue.

Can you advertise on the Naked cupholder?
Yes, advertising is possible with a front-surface sticker. However, if advertising is a priority, we recommend the C95 or C100 Branded cupholders for built-in sponsorship features.

Does the Naked version include a 3D logo emblem?
No, the 3D logo emblem is exclusive to the Branded cupholder.

How are these cupholders mounted?
We offer two mounting options: a molded-in bracket or our modular Uni-Fit bracket system.

How do I know if this cupholder fits my seats?
Easy—just reach out! We work with all seat models and manufacturers.

What’s the price difference?
The Naked cupholder is approximately 40% less than the fully Branded version.

Are custom colors available?
Yes, both models can be customized to match your team or venue colors.

What’s the turnaround time?
Depending on your seat layout and our current stock, lead time is typically 4 to 6 weeks.

Is there a size difference?
Both have a slim profile, though the Naked version is slightly more compact.

What are the installation options?
We offer full turnkey service—from design to final installation—or we can drop ship for venue or seating partner installation.

Revolutionizing CupHolders for All Sizes, Including Souvenir Cups

At Branded Seats, we understand the challenges faced by stadiums and event venues when it comes to CupHolder branding. Outdated stickers can be a nightmare to replace, especially when they have been weathered by the sun and power washed to shreds. That's why we decided to create something different

Designed and manufactured in the USA, our innovative solution revolutionizes CupHolders, providing seamless compatibility with cups of all sizes, including beloved souvenir cups. Say goodbye to the hassle of outdated stickers and welcome a new era of efficient and effective CupHolder branding.

The CupHolder Display: A Game-Changing In-Seat Branding Solution

Our CupHolder Display is the result of extensive research and development, driven by a passion for improving cup holder advertising. Here's what sets it apart:

1. Versatile Design: With the C100 and the C95 our CupHolder Displays accommodates cups of various sizes and shapes. From regular beverages to oversized souvenir cups, our product ensures a secure fit, delivering consistent branding opportunities. The C100, in specific, is our largest CupHolder and works great when there is plenty of leg room or in the ADA section. Its adjustable tilt allows beverages to sit more vertically eliminating the possibility of spilling $3 of your $15 drink. Additionally, its modular design and interchangeable bracket systems allow for multiple seating options including a wall mounting. On the other hand, the C95 contains the same modular design and system but is specifically designed for rail-style seating and offers a slim profile while maintaining its patented features.

2. Durability at its Best: Unlike traditional stickers that fade and deteriorate over time, our CupHolder Display is built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. Made with weather-resistant materials, it guarantees longevity, preserving the integrity of your branding efforts.

3. Simple Installation and Maintenance: Updating branding messages is now a breeze. Our CupHolder Display allows for quick and hassle-free installation, eliminating the painstaking task of removing old stickers. Maintenance is efficient, saving you time and effort while ensuring polished advertising displays.

4. Unleash Creativity: With the CupHolder Display, you have the freedom to explore new and imaginative branding opportunities. Let your creativity shine by incorporating dynamic visuals, interactive elements, and captivating designs that leave a lasting impression on your audience.

At Branded Seats, our mission is clear: to provide stadiums and event venues with innovative in-seat marketing solutions. With our CupHolder Display, we have reimagined CupHolder branding, making it effortless to accommodate cups of all sizes, including treasured souvenir cups. 

Choose Branded Seats and unlock the full potential of your CupHolders as powerful marketing assets.

ENHANCING THE FAN EXPERIENCE - BRANDED CUPHOLDERS FOR RAIL STYLE SEATS ARRIVE AT OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY S.B. BALLARD STADIUM

ENHANCING THE FAN EXPERIENCE - BRANDED CUPHOLDERS FOR RAIL-STYLE SEATS ARRIVE AT OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY S.B. BALLARD STADIUM

SAN DIEGO, California, October 11, 2022: Branded Seats announces its first installation of the new C95 cup holder for Old Dominion University (ODU) in Virginia. The installation of over 5,000 cupholders was completed in two days and integrated well with the Camatic rail-style seats that were installed in 2019. 

ODU opted not to install cup holders when the seats were initially installed, then COVID hit. During the COVID downtime Branded Seats, utilized its product design talents and continued with product development by working through several product extensions. This product was a priority since rail-style seating has become more popular over the past few years. Once under contract with ODU, the manufacturing, delivery, and installation was completed in less than five weeks at the Branded Seats US-based manufacturing facility.

According to Shad Bruce, Branded Seats® President, “This line extension rounds out our in-seat advertising products and solves a variety of issues with older style cupholders. The new C95 is the only cupholder on the market that will hold larger souvenir cups and creates ad revenue without the use of ugly stickers. This has been an issue with concessioners as they continue to market and sell larger drinks which offer increased profit margins.”

The C95 cup holder utilizes all of their award-winning and patented product features including updateable advertising, utilizing the SnapGraphic plastic insert. In addition, there is the 3D logo emblem which can be molded in an accent color.
