Up to 6 flexo colours for your brand or plain white; delivery EXW Turkey, HS code 4823.69.

Sixteen ounces is the volume for the large americano, the long filter coffee and the extended milk drink.

The 16 oz cup in figures an importer can act on

Certificates: our factory holds ISO 22000:2018 food safety management (certificate no IQR.016/FSMS.0067715, valid to 30 June 2027), ISO 9001:2015 and food business registration TR-34-K-094873 — the three documents customs and retail auditors usually ask for. They download as PDFs from the certificates page.

Container plan: the 500 ml cup packs 1,000 to a carton of 405x405x560 mm, 12.4 kg gross, 0.092 m³. A 20' HQ holds 310 cartons and a 40' HQ 750 — 310,000 and 750,000 cups respectively. Hand these carton figures to your forwarder and the sea freight can be priced the same day.

Order floor: 60 cartons per item, i.e. 3 pallets of 20 cartons, or 60,000 cups of the 16 oz. Below that we can release 1 or 2 pallets, but only for collection at the factory by your vehicle or your forwarder, and the price per cup goes up. Other sizes can ride in the same container once each one meets its own 60 cartons.

Printing: six flexo colours maximum on the cup body, or leave it white. Accepted files and the body template are on the printing page; we position the artwork so the seam does not cut through your logo and send the layout for approval.

Which lid: rim diameter decides the lid, not capacity. The 90 mm rim of this 500 ml cup appears on 6 cups in the catalogue, so a single lid code handles all of them.

To receive a proforma: state quantity, print colours, lids yes or no, and destination port. The document shows HS code 4823.69 and the delivery term we agree together.

Frequently asked questions

How many ml is a 16 oz paper cup?

500 ml at the roll. The shell is 137 mm tall with a 90 mm opening and a 63 mm base.

Sixteen fluid ounces converts to roughly 473 ml, so the label names a size class rather than an exact capacity. In service the working volume is lower again, because the pour is stopped below the rim so a cover still seats.

Do 16 oz single wall cups work with sleeves?

Yes, and that is the usual pairing for this build. Operations already buying sleeves for a smaller size simply extend the same band to the largest one, keeping the cup itself light.

Where no sleeve system exists, the insulated 16 oz is normally the better answer, since fitting a band by hand costs counter time on every drink served.

Why is the base of the 16 oz cup narrower than the 14 oz?

Because it is drawn to be tall rather than wide: 63 mm at the foot where the 14 oz measures 60 mm, with 27 mm more height.

The taper does two jobs. It keeps the largest cup inside car holders and carrier trays built around the smaller sizes, and it lets the shells nest deeply, which is what keeps freight per thousand pieces reasonable at this volume.

Are carton quantities published for the 16 oz cup?

Yes. The 16 oz packs 1,000 pieces to the carton, in a 405x405x560 mm box at 12.4 kg gross and 0.092 m³, with 310 cartons in a 20' HQ container, 750 in a 40' HQ and 792 on a truck.

As a reference from the same shell family, the 14 oz fills a carton with 1000 pieces and stows 310 boxes into a 20' HQ container. Ask for the figures at enquiry stage if your forwarder needs to quote before you commit.
