If the establishment operates “on the go”, the glass is part of the service. The customer evaluates not only the taste, but also whether the drink is comfortable to hold, whether the packaging does not leak, or whether it burns the hand. Therefore, the choice of paper cups for coffee should be made as a tool of stable quality.
Type of cup for the dispensing scenario
Single-layer cups
This is the basic solution for many drinks. If necessary, add a thermal belt or take another type that meets the need.
Double-wall cups
When thermal insulation and a “tighter” feeling in the hand are important, it makes sense to look at double-wall or double-wall cups.
Ripple cups
Ripple cups are often chosen when a better grip and comfort are needed without additional accessories..
Volumes for the existing menu
Do not overload the warehouse. In most establishments, 3–5 volumes of paper cups are enough. This makes for fewer dispensing errors and easier purchasing planning.
Quality control before purchasing
Three typical reasons for complaints about disposable cups: leaking at the seam, deformation in the hand, discomfort from the hot body. Do a test: pour hot water/drink, wait 10–15 minutes, check the seam and bottom.
Storage and logistics
Even high-quality paper cups deteriorate from moisture and pressure. Store in a dry place, do not deform them with boxes on top, keep supplies in closed packages.
Accessories: lids, holders, stirrers
When selling “to go”, accessories are almost always needed: lids, holders, stirrers. Make sure you have enough stock in your assortment to avoid misunderstandings at a crucial moment.
Bottom line: choose cups for a real dispensing scenario, test quality, and keep your volume line simple. The product selection catalog and Future Caps managers are always at your service!
