Cup Lids

About Our Cup Lids

 

What is Cup Lids?

A cup lid is a small cover used with disposable paper cups to cover the opening of the cup. We use it to keep drinks warm, prevent foreign objects from entering, and prevent liquids from spilling when walking.


The lid has a small vent on the surface to allow air to escape. It prevents pressure build-up, with a smooth flow of coffee to your mouth. Sometimes, it is also designed with a drinking hole—a snap that can be closed or opened, so that you can carry your drink with you.

 

 

Features of Cup Lids

 

Multiple Types

For different beverages, the cup lids are available with a variety of lid types, including flat lids, arched lids, and non-streamlined lids.

Stable Structure

Our cup lids are made from plastic particles through the hot-pressing molding process. The wall thickness is more uniform, making them less likely to break during use.

Eco-Friendly

These cup lids are made of recyclable PP and PE materials. They can be recycled after use or degrade in the natural environment.

Custom Design

These cup lids can be custom-printed according to customer needs, including material, size, and printing design.

How Should You Choose the Cup Lids?

 
 

There are many details to consider when choosing a cup lid, such as

Cup Lid Material

+

-

This mainly depends on the temperature of the drink. When we package very hot drinks, PP cup lids may be the most suitable because they are very heat-resistant, while PS cup lids may leak harmful substances.

Type of Lid

+

-

Different types of cup lids are suitable for different drinks. For example, dome lids look fuller and are more suitable for smoothies and milkshakes with cream. Cross lids are easy to insert straws, used for drinks with good fluidity such as coffee, tea, and juice.

Lid Size

+

-

The diameter of the cup lid must match the diameter of the cup, the same or slightly larger (generally not more than 1-2mm). If the cup diameter is 90mm, a 90mm or 92mm cup lid would be more suitable.

Material Safety

+

-

The material of the cup lid must be food grade to be in direct contact with the drink. Note that PS cup lids may release harmful styrene monomers at high temperatures, so they are generally not used for hot drinks.

Customization

+

-

If you want to use it for commercial purposes, it is best to choose a customizable cup lid. You can print your brand logo, pattern on its surface, or change its color to cater to promotional activities.

 

 

FAQ

 

 

Q: Why do cups have lids?

A: The main purpose of a cup lid is to prevent liquid from spilling, especially when the cup is shaken. It can also prevent dust, flying insects, etc. from entering.

Q: Why do cup lids have small holes?

A: The small holes on the cup lid can balance the air pressure, preventing the change in air pressure inside the cup from causing liquid to spray out or the cup to break.

Q: Why can't you use a microwave with a paper cup lid?

A: The paper cup lid may deform and melt in the microwave. It may also cause a fire due to local overheating.
