Turner’s Iced Tea cup holder, finally — meet the CupCrate
The Turner’s Iced Tea cup holder problem is a Pittsburgh classic: you grab a quart of Turner’s, you get in the car, and the carton sits on the passenger seat sliding sideways every time you take a turn. The CupCrate Quart fixes it. It’s a 3D-printed adapter that drops into a standard car cup holder and accepts the square Turner’s quart carton (and half-gallons too — same footprint) snugly. Made in Pittsburgh by Archer Frog Designs.
Why this is a Pittsburgh-specific fix
If you don’t live in the Pittsburgh region, you might not know: Turner’s (Turner Dairy Farms) is the iced tea around here. It comes in those distinctive square paperboard cartons, and a Turner’s quart is a specific weekly grocery-run object for a lot of households. The cartons are great for the fridge and great for pouring — and terrible for car cup holders, which are uniformly designed for round cans and bottles. The CupCrate is a designed-on-purpose answer to that gap.
How it works
The CupCrate Quart is a 3D-printed sleeve with a round outer shape (sized for a standard car cup holder) and a square inner cavity (~3.85 inches square — the exact footprint of a quart paperboard carton, and conveniently the same footprint as a half-gallon, so it works for both). Drop the CupCrate into your cup holder, drop the carton into the CupCrate, drive without the slide-and-spill. Made in-house in Pittsburgh, sturdy enough to hold up to daily use.
What you get
One CupCrate Quart adapter, 3D-printed in PLA, designed and made in Pittsburgh by Archer Frog Designs. Inner dimension ~3.85″ square. Outer dimension fits standard car cup holders. Available in the maker’s current color rotation; reach out for bulk orders.
Two important notes from the maker
Heat: please don’t leave the CupCrate in a hot car for long stretches. PLA softens at around 140°F (60°C), which is a temperature your dashboard absolutely hits in a Pittsburgh summer. Bring it inside, or store it in the glove box where it stays cooler. Driving: a cup holder is for parked-and-pulled-over drinking. Please don’t use this as an excuse to drink and drive distracted. Drive responsibly.
Who buys this
Turner’s drinkers who commute. Parents who need a quart for the kids on a road trip. Anyone who’s ever wedged a Turner’s carton between their thigh and the center console at a red light and thought “there has to be a better way.” Tailgaters going to PNC Park or Acrisure Stadium with a quart along for the ride. Construction crews and contractors who want their iced tea in the truck. Pittsburgh-area folks shopping for gifts for the relative who’s lived in the same house for forty years and could use one small upgrade to their daily routine.

FAQs about the Turner’s Iced Tea cup holder (CupCrate Quart)
Will it actually fit a Turner’s quart?
Yes — the inner cavity is ~3.85 inches square, sized to the standard quart paperboard carton footprint. It also fits half-gallons, since paperboard half-gallons share the same footprint as quarts (just taller).
Will it fit my car’s cup holder?
The CupCrate’s outer shape is sized for a standard automotive cup holder. If your car has unusually small or shallow cup holders (some compact and electric vehicles do), measure first.
What is it made of?
3D-printed in PLA filament, made in-house by the maker in Pittsburgh.
Can I leave it in a hot car?
Better not to. PLA softens above ~140°F (60°C), which a Pittsburgh dashboard hits on a summer day. Bring it inside or stash it in the glove box.
Does it work for half-gallon cartons too?
Yes — quarts and half-gallons share the same square footprint, so the CupCrate fits both. The half-gallon will sit taller in the holder.
Can I order in bulk?
Yes — contact the maker directly through the YinzMart vendor page for bulk orders. Useful for fleet vehicles, family cars, or as a gift bag item for a Pittsburgh-themed event.
