16oz Black Ripple Coffee Cups (500 Pcs) are an excellent choice for businesses that want to serve larger hot beverages, such as coffee, tea, or specialty drinks, in a durable, eco-friendly, and stylish package. These cups are ideal for cafes, coffee shops, offices, catering events, and foodservice businesses that need to offer a larger serving size to customers, all while maintaining temperature and quality.

Key Features:

1. Size:

• 16oz Capacity: These cups hold approximately 16 ounces (about 475 millilitres), which is a popular size for large coffees, lattes, mochas, hot chocolate, or any other larger-sized hot beverages. This size is perfect for customers who prefer a bigger drink or for businesses that offer larger portions.
• Larger Drink Volume: Ideal for beverages served in larger volumes, allowing room for extra milk, syrups, or whipped cream, which are often included in specialty drinks like lattes or flavoured coffees.

2. Material:

• Ripple Wall Construction: The double-walled ripple design is made from paperboard, which provides excellent insulation, keeping the beverage hot without making the cup too hot to hold. The insulating layer ensures that customers can enjoy their hot drinks comfortably without needing an additional sleeve.
• Black Outer Finish: The black colour gives the cups a modern, sleek look that works well for various business settings, from casual coffee shops to more upscale or branded cafes.
• Lining: The cups are typically lined with either a PE (polyethylene) or PLA (plant-based) coating. PE-lined cups are recyclable, while PLA-lined cups are compostable in commercial composting facilities. The lining prevents liquid from seeping through the paper and ensures the cup is durable enough to hold hot beverages.

3. Design & Durability:

• Ripple Wall Structure: The ripple wall construction provides an insulating layer between the liquid inside and the outside of the cup, which helps maintain the temperature of the beverage for a longer time. This design also prevents the outer surface from becoming too hot, allowing customers to hold their cup comfortably.
• Leak-Proof & Spill-Resistant: The cups are designed to be leak-proof, preventing spills and ensuring the cup can hold hot liquids securely. The double-wall ripple design adds structural strength, making the cup more resistant to damage, such as bending or punctures.
• No Sleeve Needed: The double-walled insulation eliminates the need for an additional paper sleeve. Customers can enjoy their beverage without the risk of burning their hands, reducing waste and improving operational efficiency.

4. Uses:

• Hot Beverage Service: These 16oz cups are perfect for larger servings of hot drinks such as coffee, tea, hot chocolate, lattes, cappuccinos, or any other hot beverage typically served in large cups.
• Takeout & Delivery: With the growing demand for takeout and delivery services, the 16oz size is a great option for customers who want a larger portion of their favourite drink. The insulating design ensures that the drink stays warm while being transported, making it ideal for delivery.
• Catering & Events: These cups are also well-suited for events, conferences, and catering services where hot beverages are needed in large quantities. The black ripple design adds a professional, modern look to any occasion.
• Offices & Businesses: Offering hot beverages in 16oz cups is ideal for offices or businesses that want to provide employees, clients, or visitors with a larger cup of coffee or tea. These cups are especially popular for meetings, break rooms, or events where hot drinks are served.

5. Eco-Friendly Options:

• Compostable or Recyclable: If the cups are PLA-lined, they are compostable in commercial composting environments. PE-lined cups are recyclable, although they are not compostable. Be sure to check with your local recycling and composting facilities for specific disposal instructions.
• Sustainable Packaging: These ripple wall cups are a more eco-friendly option compared to single-wall cups, as they reduce the need for additional packaging like paper sleeves. This reduces overall waste and minimizes environmental impact.
• Minimal Waste: The double-wall ripple design helps eliminate the need for an extra sleeve, contributing to less material waste. This is particularly beneficial for businesses looking to operate more sustainably.

6. Advantages:

• Improved Insulation: The double-wall ripple design offers excellent temperature retention, keeping the beverage hot for longer while keeping the exterior of the cup cool to the touch. This allows customers to enjoy their drink at their own pace without worrying about the temperature.
• Durability & Strength: The ripple wall construction makes these cups more durable and resistant to damage compared to single-wall cups. They are less prone to collapsing, bending, or puncturing, which is important when serving large volumes of hot liquid.
• Stylish & Professional: The black colour gives these cups a modern, clean, and sleek appearance, making them versatile for a variety of businesses—from trendy cafes to corporate settings or formal events.
• No Sleeve Requirement: The insulated double-wall design eliminates the need for paper sleeves, saving on packaging costs and waste, while also improving the customer experience by allowing them to comfortably hold the cup.

7. Disposal & Recycling:

• PLA Lined Cups: PLA-lined cups are compostable in commercial composting systems. Always confirm with your local composting program that they accept PLA-lined cups to ensure proper disposal.
• PE Lined Cups: PE-lined cups are recyclable, but they are not compostable. These cups should be placed in the recycling bin (where available) once used, ensuring that they are clean and free from food residue.
