Frequently Asked Questions
Are these cups suitable for espresso and short coffees?
Yes. The compact 4oz capacity is ideal for double espresso shots, macchiatos, short coffees, and promotional tasting portions.
Do I need to buy an extra sleeve for these cups?
In many cases, no. The protective ripple wall improves both outer insulation and handling grip, meaning many independent businesses use them comfortably without an outer sleeve. This can vary depending on exact drink temperatures and service holding times.
Are matching lids included inside this package?
No. Lids are sold separately from the cups. You can source and add the correct compatible lids at the bottom of this product page by matching the required rim size.
Can these black ripple cups be used for serving cold drinks?
They can safely hold cold liquids, but they are engineered primarily for hot beverages and do not feature external condensation control layers. For serving iced coffees, milkshakes, or smoothies, we recommend browsing our clear plastic takeaway cups collection.
Are these ripple cups recyclable?
These cups are manufactured from paperboard equipped with an internal protective barrier lining for hot drink service. Actual recycling depends entirely on your local commercial facilities and whether they accept lined paper cup streams. Always follow your local authority waste guidance.
Do you stock alternative sizes or different cup designs?
Yes. We stock 4oz, 8oz, 12oz, and 16oz options in ripple kraft brown, ripple black, and plain white finishes across single-wall, double-wall, and triple-wall profiles.
Do you offer next working day delivery?
Yes. Free next-working-day delivery is available to mainland UK destinations on eligible wholesale orders over £100 (excluding VAT) completed before our daily 15:00 cut-off deadline. This transit schedule operates Monday to Friday and excludes weekends and bank holidays.
