Drink-to-cup planning

Match the Cup Family to the Cold-Drink Program

Capacity is only the starting point. Compare the rounded 89mm U-shape profile with the 98mm straight-wall range, then test the actual beverage and components.

Service case	Size direction	Complete-system checks
Small cold drink, sample or dessert	300 or 360ml U-shape cup	Final fill, spoon or drinking access, topping space and handoff.
Rounded-profile cold drink	400 or 500ml U-shape cup	Ice displacement, grip, 89mm component and transport workflow.
Regular iced drink	400 or 500ml straight-wall cup	Final fill, drinking access and selected 98mm component.
Larger chilled beverage	600ml straight-wall cup	Topping space, grip, closure retention and carrier stability.
Extra-large fruit tea or cold drink	700ml straight-wall cup	Filled weight, service handling, closure and carrier test.

Presentation and workflow

Smoky Black Cups for Catering and Takeaway

Both published families use a smoky black, semi-transparent PET finish. Beverage color and ice can remain partly visible according to the drink and lighting, so evaluate appearance with a filled sample.

Rounded U-shape cups for compact drinks and desserts
Straight-wall cups for regular through extra-large cold drinks
Iced coffee, tea, juice, lemonade and soda programs
Catered meals and conference beverage stations
Takeaway service with a confirmed component system

The finish does not by itself establish performance, reuse, temperature or compliance claims. Confirm project-specific requirements with the exact product.

Complete the project

Confirm Lids and Custom Printing

Nominal dimensions help shortlist options, but exact product confirmation and sample approval remain essential.

Keep the 89mm and 98mm Systems Separate

The U-shape products use nominal 89mm rims; the straight-wall products use nominal 98mm rims. Diameter alone does not prove engagement or retention.

State the drink and transport method.

Buyer questions

Black Plastic Cup FAQs

Open each question for product-specific guidance based on the verified PaperBull records used on this page.

Which black plastic cup sizes does PaperBull publish?

The published smoky black PET range includes 300, 360, 400 and 500ml U-shape cups with 89mm rims, plus 400, 500, 600 and 700ml straight-wall cups with 98mm rims.

What is the difference between U-shape and straight-wall cups?

The U-shape products have rounded lower profiles, 89mm rims and 44mm bases. The straight-wall family uses 98mm rims and taller tapered profiles. Use the exact product dimensions when choosing.

Are the cups fully opaque black?

The eight published black PET products are described as smoky black and semi-transparent. Check a physical sample with the intended beverage before approving appearance.

Will one lid fit every black cup?

No. The page includes 89mm and 98mm rim families, and nominal diameter alone does not prove fit. Confirm the exact cup and approved component, then test the filled system.

Can black plastic cups be custom printed?

Custom printing can be reviewed for the selected product and project. Supply the artwork, quantity, print requirements, destination and timing for confirmation.

What is the MOQ for black plastic cups?

No category-level numeric MOQ has been approved for this page. Confirm MOQ for the exact cup, printing route and project requirements in the quotation.
