Description
Hippo 8oz Insulated Black Ripple Wall Hot Drink Cups - Case of 500
In stock. Serve coffee, tea, and hot chocolate in a premium, easy-to-hold cup with Hippo 8oz Black Ripple Paper Hot Drink Cups. Featuring an integrated triple-layer ripple wall design, these premium hot cups deliver excellent thermal insulation and a secure texturized grip. They allow your team to serve hot beverages confidently for rapid takeaway, collection counter queues, and courier delivery services.
The engineered corrugated ripple structure effectively creates dead-air cooling gaps on the outer wall surface. This structural layer keeps hot beverages at their ideal drinking temperature while ensuring the cup remains entirely comfortable to carry. Because of this high-performance built-in insulation, these cups completely eliminate the operational requirement for a separate paper sleeve, streamlining serving times behind busy espresso machines and reducing individual unit packaging costs.
With an upscale, professional matte black finish, these cups add a contemporary touch to your brand's modern coffee presentation. Supplied in a convenient wholesale commercial trade case of 500 cups, they are ideal for high-volume coffee shops, artisan bakeries, and corporate event caterers. Please note that matching takeaway lids are sold separately and can be filtered by matching the required rim diameter at the bottom of this product page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do lids come with these 8oz cups?
No. Lids are sold separately from the cups. You can easily locate and add the correct compatible companion lids directly from the accessories section at the bottom of this page or browse our complete paper cups & lids range.
Do I need separate sleeves for black ripple cups?
Usually not. The specialized corrugated ripple wall provides built-in thermal insulation and a secure texture grip for handling hot liquids, meaning separate outer sleeves are not required for normal service.
Can I use these ripple cups 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 chilled items like iced coffees or smoothies, we highly recommend using our clear plastic takeaway cups collection.
Are these 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 authority 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 a comprehensive inventory including 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.
