The Pint Printers Full Description

We hire out a compact, food-safe printer that prints edible designs straight onto the foam of drinks. Your monogram, your wedding date, the dog, even guests' selfies, appearing on Guinness, espresso martinis, cocktails and coffee in about six seconds a pour.

It works anywhere in the UK because nobody has to turn up. The machine arrives at your venue by tracked DPD courier the working day before, sets up on the bar in five minutes, and your bar team or a willing guest runs it. After the day it goes back with a pre-paid label, dropped at any of 3,500 DPD shops.

Your designs are agreed with us in advance so everything is loaded and ready from the first pour. Guests can also scan a QR code to print their own photos live, which quickly turns the bar into the most photographed corner of the room. There's also a selfie stick attached to the machine so guests can take photos at the event and print them directly on their drink!

The edible ink is flavourless, odourless and certified vegan, gluten-free, halal and kosher, with FDA, EU and SGS food safety testing behind it.

Wedding packages from £495 to £695 depending on print volume, run by us, Luke & Sam.

Message from the team

Name of Wedding Contact: The Pint Printers
Hi, we're Luke and Sam. We started The Pint Printers because we couldn't stop grinning the first time we saw a guest's face printed on a pint of Guinness, and weddings deserve that moment. We look after everything, your designs agreed in advance, tracked delivery to your venue, and a pre-paid return label after the day. We're a two-person team, so when you message us you get us, usually the same day. Ask us anything.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

How does pint printing actually work?

Our machine uses food-safe edible ink to print directly onto the foam head of any drink with a frothy top. That includes Guinness, stout, cocktails with foam, espresso martinis, coffee, and lattes. The print takes about six seconds. The ink is flavourless and doesn't change how the drink tastes.

What drinks can you print on?

Anything with a frothy or creamy head. Guinness and stout are the classics, but the same machine prints beautifully on espresso martinis, cocktails with foam, cappuccinos, lattes, hot chocolate, and Bailey's-topped drinks. Smoother drinks like lager, prosecco or wine don't work the ink needs foam to sit on.

Is the edible ink safe? Any allergens?

Yes. The ink is flavourless and odourless. Ingredients are water, sorbitol, food-grade glycerin and food colourants. It's vegan, gluten-free, halal and kosher, and tested to FDA, EU and SGS food-contact standards. We can email a copy of the certificate to your venue on request.

How long does each pint take to print?

Around six seconds from button press to finished pint.

How many pints can it print per hour?

Realistically about 30 to 40 pints per hour at a wedding bar, including time choosing designs.

Do the prints fade or smudge?

No. The ink bonds into the foam within seconds and stays sharp for the lifetime of the head.

Can it print on non-alcoholic drinks?

Yes — hot chocolate, cappuccinos, lattes and milk-based mocktails.

What design file should we send?

PNG or JPG, at least 1000px wide, transparent or white background. Designs print in monochrome sepia on cream foam.

How many designs per event?

Up to six pre-loaded designs as standard.

Can guests upload selfies?

Yes via selfie stick or QR code on the machine.
