PP Cup Product Range

HSQY offers different cup capacities, rim diameters, shapes and finishes. Buyers should select the cup and lid as a complete packaging system rather than choosing each component separately.

Capacity alone does not determine cup-and-lid compatibility. Buyers should confirm the rim diameter, rim profile, cup model and lid structure before placing a bulk order.

90mm and 95mm PP Cup Systems

HSQY beverage cups are mainly organized around 90mm and 95mm rim systems. Standardizing the rim diameter can help beverage chains and distributors reduce the number of lid specifications required across several cup capacities.

90mm PP Cups

The 90mm range includes clear, frosted, straight-wall and U-shaped PP cups in multiple capacities. It is suitable for businesses that want several beverage sizes to share a common lid diameter.

95mm PP Cups

The 95mm range includes straight-wall and U-shaped cups for small, medium and large beverage portions. A wider opening can be useful for bubble tea, smoothies, fruit drinks, toppings and drinks requiring larger straws.

Flat and Dome Cup Lids

Flat lids are commonly selected for standard takeaway drinks and may include a straw opening. Dome lids provide additional headspace for whipped cream, fruit, foam, ice cream or other toppings.

Lid fit should be tested using the exact production cup. A nominal 90mm or 95mm diameter does not automatically guarantee compatibility between products from different molds or suppliers.

PP Cups for Hot and Cold Drinks

Polypropylene has better heat resistance than PET and is frequently selected for warm drinks, hot-fill applications and cold beverages. However, operating temperature depends on the resin grade, cup thickness, manufacturing process, filling time and actual beverage conditions.

Buyers should provide the expected filling temperature when requesting a quotation. HSQY can then recommend an appropriate cup model and determine whether additional heat-resistance or performance testing is required.

PP Injection Cups vs Thermoformed Cups

Injection-molded PP cups are produced by injecting molten polypropylene into a precision mold. This process can create thicker walls, defined rim structures and consistent cup geometry.

Injection-molded cups are frequently selected when buyers require improved rigidity, reusable-style handling, a premium appearance or a stable snap-on lid fit. Thermoformed cups may be lighter and more economical for certain high-volume disposable applications.

The most suitable production method depends on target price, cup weight, appearance, required performance and annual purchasing volume.

Clear PP Cups vs Frosted PP Cups

Clear PP Cups

Clear PP cups allow customers and service staff to see the beverage color, ingredients and fill level. They are suitable for fruit tea, bubble tea, juice, smoothies and other visually attractive beverages.

Frosted PP Cups

Frosted cups create a softer and more premium appearance. They can also make printed logos more prominent and are often selected for branded beverage programs, events and specialty drinks.

Custom Printed PP Cups

Custom printed PP cups can turn beverage packaging into a visible brand asset. HSQY can evaluate logo printing, text, patterns, brand colors and private-label outer cartons according to the cup model and order quantity.

Possible customization options include:

• Single-color or multi-color logo printing

• Partial or wraparound artwork

• Clear, frosted or customized appearance

• Custom cup capacity and dimensions

• Straight-wall or U-shaped designs

• Custom lid structures

• Embossed or molded branding

• Private-label bags and export cartons

• New mold development for qualified projects

Printing feasibility, print area, color accuracy, MOQ, plate cost and lead time depend on the artwork, cup surface and required order quantity.

PP Cup Applications

Bubble Tea and Milk Tea Shops

PP cups are suitable for milk tea, fruit tea, tapioca beverages and drinks with ice or toppings. Multiple capacities allow beverage shops to offer small, medium and large serving sizes.

Coffee Shops and Quick-Service Restaurants

Coffee shops and quick-service restaurants can use PP cups for iced coffee, warm tea, soft drinks and takeaway beverages. Filling temperature and lid compatibility should be confirmed before mass production.

Juice Bars and Smoothie Stores

Clear cups showcase the color and texture of smoothies, juice and blended beverages. Dome lids can provide additional space for foam, fruit and other toppings.

Foodservice Distributors and Wholesalers

Distributors can combine several cup capacities around a 90mm or 95mm lid system. This can simplify inventory planning and help customers purchase compatible cups and lids from one supplier.

Catering and Events

Clear or frosted PP cups can be used for weddings, exhibitions, corporate events, festivals and catering service. Custom printing can support event branding and promotional campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions About PP Cups

What is a PP cup?

A PP cup is a beverage or portion cup made from polypropylene. PP provides a useful combination of flexibility, durability, low weight and heat resistance for foodservice packaging.

What sizes of PP cups does HSQY supply?

HSQY supplies small 0.6oz, 1oz, 1.5oz and 3oz portion cups as well as beverage cups in 7oz, 9oz, 12oz, 13oz, 14oz, 16oz, 17oz, 21oz and 24oz capacities. Availability depends on the selected cup series.

Are PP cups suitable for hot drinks?

PP has better heat resistance than many cold-drink plastics and selected HSQY cup models can be used for warm or hot beverages. Buyers must confirm the maximum filling temperature, holding time and required cup model before ordering.

Can PP cups be used for cold drinks?

Yes. PP cups are commonly used for bubble tea, milk tea, iced coffee, smoothies, juice, soft drinks and other cold beverages.

Are all PP cups microwave-safe?

No blanket microwave-safety claim should be applied to every PP cup. Microwave suitability depends on the resin, cup design, wall thickness, lid material, food or beverage contents and validated test conditions. Confirm the intended use with HSQY before placing an order.

What is the difference between PP and PET cups?

PET cups generally provide higher optical clarity and are primarily used for cold drinks. PP cups are typically more flexible and offer better heat resistance, making them suitable for a wider range of beverage temperatures. Final material selection should be based on the drink, temperature and appearance requirements.

What is the difference between 90mm and 95mm PP cups?

The measurement refers to the nominal cup rim diameter. A 90mm cup requires a compatible 90mm lid, while a 95mm cup requires a compatible 95mm lid. The cup model and rim profile must also match the lid.

Do PP cups come with lids?

Matching lids are available for selected 90mm and 95mm PP cups. Options may include flat lids, lids with straw openings and dome lids. Cups and lids may be quoted and packed separately, so buyers should confirm the required quantities for both components.

Are dome lids available for drinks with toppings?

Dome lid options are available for selected cup systems. They provide additional space for whipped cream, fruit, foam, ice cream and other toppings.

Can HSQY print a logo on PP cups?

Yes. Custom logo, text and pattern printing can be evaluated. Printing options depend on the cup model, artwork, number of colors, print coverage and order quantity.

Can PP cup colors and shapes be customized?

Clear, frosted and other customized appearances can be evaluated. Custom cup shapes, capacities and molds may also be developed for projects with suitable order volume.

Are PP cups recyclable?

Polypropylene is identified as plastic resin code 5 and may be recyclable where suitable collection and processing facilities exist. Acceptance varies by region, and used cups should meet local disposal and contamination requirements.

What is the minimum order quantity for PP cups?

MOQ varies by cup model, lid type, color, printing method and packaging requirements. Standard unprinted products and customized cups may have different minimum quantities. Contact HSQY with the required model and quantity for confirmation.

Can buyers request PP cup samples?

Samples may be available for existing cup and lid models. Sample availability, freight, preparation time and custom sample charges depend on the selected product and destination.

How should buyers test PP cups before mass production?

Buyers should test the exact cup and lid combination using the intended beverage, filling temperature, toppings, straw, storage time and transportation conditions. Printed samples should also be checked for artwork position, color and adhesion.

Who normally purchases wholesale PP cups?

Typical buyers include bubble tea chains, coffee shops, juice bars, restaurants, food processors, catering companies, packaging wholesalers, importers and foodservice distributors.

What information is needed to receive a quotation?

Provide the required capacity, rim diameter, cup shape, clear or frosted finish, lid style, beverage temperature, printing artwork, order quantity, destination country and preferred delivery terms.
