What is a PET cup?
A PET cup is a clear cold drink cup made from PET (polyethylene terephthalate). Its glass-like clarity shows the colour, ice and layers of a drink, which is why it is popular for iced coffee, smoothies and colourful cold drinks.
PET cups are for cold drinks; use paper cups for hot drink service.
Choosing sizes for your menu
Five sizes are enough to build small, medium and large steps on a menu. Each size is about 60 ml larger than the one before:
- 12 oz for small-to-medium iced coffee
- 14 oz for medium lemonade and iced tea
- 16 oz for large smoothies and frappés
- 18 oz for milkshakes and ice cream drinks
- 20 oz for the largest serving
Choosing a lid: flat, dome or sip
Use a flat lid for plain cold drinks served with a straw, a dome lid for frappés, milkshakes and smoothies topped with cream or foam, and a sip lid for drinking without a straw. We plan the lids together with your cup order.
Printed PET cups and wholesale orders
Your logo can be printed on the PET cup, where it shows together with the colour of the drink. We share case quantities and packaging details with your quote, based on size and order volume.
