Will a clear PET lid fit a paper cold cup?
No. Transparent parts are cut to 95 mm, while the board cold cups in this catalogue sit on 80 mm or 90 mm rims depending on the size.
Board cups take board closures, and those are catalogued separately at 80 mm and 90 mm. Match material and rim together; an ounce label appearing on both a clear cup and a board cup says nothing about whether a part will seat.
How much storage space do lids take compared with cups?
Far less. Closures stack flat and nest into one another, so a carton of them occupies a fraction of the shelf that the matching quantity of cups needs.
That is why buyers often hold a deeper stock of this reference than of any single cup size: the extra cover costs little space and removes the risk that drinks cannot leave the counter. Box measurements arrive with your offer.
How are lids and cups shipped together?
In one consignment, on one set of documents, even though they carry different customs headings — 3923.50 for clear closures and 3924.10 for clear cups.
The term is EXW or FCA as standard — DAP is discussed only for regular, high-volume orders, FOB or CIF by sea — and it is written into the offer. Freight for both is calculated from box volume rather than weight, since this kind of carton is light and bulky.
Can the same lid be used after we change cup sizes?
Yes. Because every clear cup here shares the 95 mm rim, a menu change from 350 ml to 400 ml or 500 ml leaves the closure untouched.
That is the practical reason to standardise on one diameter: seasonal upsizing, a new drink or a promotional format becomes a cup decision alone, with no second article to re-approve, re-quote and re-stock.
