Paper Cups questions
Still unsure? Call 01234 867 727 or email info@askpackagingltd.com. We reply the same working day.
What size paper cup is a standard coffee?
8oz (240ml) is the most common regular size for coffee and tea, though cafés vary. 10oz is the larger option.
Can paper cups be used for hot drinks?
Yes. Our single-wall cups are made for hot and cold drinks. They have strong walls and a rolled rim.
How many paper cups come in a pack?
Packs of 50 up to 1,000. The 1,000 pack is the cheapest: 2.5p for 7oz, 3.1p for 8oz and 3.7p for 10oz, inc VAT.
Are these the same as paper coffee cups?
Yes. They are plain white paper cups for tea and coffee, the disposable coffee cups used in cafés, offices and at events. The 7oz size is the classic vending cup.
Do you sell paper cups with lids?
Not at the moment. Our cups are sold without lids, so they suit drinks served on site, at events and in offices. A single-wall cup of hot coffee is also hot to hold on a long walk, so for takeaway coffee carried any distance, a lidded double-wall cup is the better choice.
Can I brand plain white cups?
Yes. Plain white takes a logo sticker or stamp, which is a low-cost way to brand cups without a custom print run.
Buying paper cups: a short guide
How many cups for an event
Plan two to three drinks per guest for a half-day event and one cup per drink if cups are not reused. For 100 guests at a morning meeting, a 300 pack of 8oz cups is usually enough.
Pick a regular and a large
A simple setup is 8oz as the regular size and 10oz as the large. Offering the 10oz as an upsell for a few pence more raises the average order with no extra stock lines.
