Vending cups 150 ml and 180 ml — from the manufacturer
Paper cups made for vending machines: a dedicated 6 oz cup, sizes from 4 to 9 oz, case counts built for route economics, and your own print on the wall.
A vending operator does not buy a cup, they buy uninterrupted service. The cup has to drop from the column every single time, hold its shape when the machine grips it, stack tightly enough that a route van carries a full day of refills, and cost the same next quarter as it does today. We build the cup around those four things, and we build it in our own plant — the line you are quoting is the line that runs your order.
A cup designed for the column, not adapted to it
Our 6 oz vending cup is a separate item rather than a retail cup relabelled for machines: 150 ml, a 70 mm rim that matches the standard vending column, and a wall stiff enough to survive the drop and the grip. If your machines run a different size, the single-wall range covers 4, 6, 7, 7.5, 8 and 9 oz — see the full hot cup category.
Case counts that decide your route cost
Route economics live in the case, not the cup. The 6 oz vending cup, the 4 oz, the 7 oz and the 7.5 oz all ship 3,000 pieces per case; the 8 and 9 oz ship 2,000. That difference is what fills or wastes a van and a container, so we quote against your refill cycle rather than a single unit price. Tell us machines per route and refills per week and we will size the order to it.
Your brand on someone else's break
A vending cup is held for the length of a coffee and seen by everyone in the room. Flexo printing puts your operator brand, a service number or a QR code on that wall at production speed, which means printed cups cost close to plain ones at volume. Print plates are yours and stay with us for repeat runs, so the second order does not restart the setup.
One supplier, the same cup next year
Vending contracts run for years and the cup has to stay identical across them. Because production, printing, invoicing and export sit in the same business, a repeat order goes back to the same reel, the same coating and the same plates rather than to whichever trader had stock that month. Certification is on file and shareable with your own customers — see certificates — and the loading side, from case to container, is set out on the export and logistics page. If you want to see printing options before you commit, start with custom printed cups.
