Cups

In drinks service, cups are the consumable with the highest turnover. This subcategory carries five cups in four capacities and a matching lid – from espresso to a large smoothie.

The paper cups have a PE inner lining and are therefore intended for hot drinks: 100 ml for espresso; 200 ml in FSC virgin-fibre board, which according to the product data keeps its shape up to 90 °C and can be printed from 10,000 pieces; 300 ml for coffee and tea; and 400 ml with a sturdy wall for large coffees, cold drinks and smoothies. For cold drinks that should stay visible there is a clear 300 ml PLA cup. The white PS lid with a sip opening measures 80 mm in diameter and is designed for 200 to 300 ml cups.

Most items come in bags of 50 and can be ordered from 50 pieces; the 200 ml cup is supplied in sleeves of 50 from 1,000 pieces, and the lids in bags of 100.

Typical applications

• Coffee bars and bakeries serving coffee to go
• Vending machines, water coolers and office coffee stations
• Canteens and catering with hot-drink service
• Smoothie and juice bars using clear cups
• Trade fairs and events where a cup with company print is wanted

What to look for when buying

Match cups and lids: the lid is designed for 200 to 300 ml cups, so check the 80 mm rim diameter against your cup or request a sample. No dedicated lid is listed for the 100 ml and 400 ml cups – ask us if you need one.

For hot drinks, choose the PE-lined paper cups; for cold drinks you want to show off, the PLA cup. If you are planning large volumes with your own print, the 200 ml cup is the obvious candidate.
