| Specification | Details and Notes |
|---|---|
| Product Type | Generic 200 ml single-use plastic cup suitable for beverages and food sampling. Typical usage: cold drinks, cold desserts, tastings. |
| Common Materials | Polystyrene (PS) for optical clarity; Polypropylene (PP) for higher heat resistance. Material choice affects recyclability symbol and heat tolerance. |
| Top Diameter | Approx. 90 mm (±2 mm). Typical for 200 ml form factor to allow compatibility with lids and sleeves designed for the same profile. |
| Bottom Diameter | Approx. 52–58 mm depending on taper (typical: 55 mm). Ensures stackability and stable base on flat surfaces. |
| Height | Approx. 92–98 mm (typical: 95 mm). Variation based on rim design and manufacturing tooling. |
| Wall Thickness | Typical 0.30–0.45 mm (common nominal: 0.38 mm). Manufacturing tolerance commonly ±0.05 mm for thermoformed cups. |
| Typical Weight per Cup | Approximately 3.8–5.0 g (material dependent: PP lighter ~3.8–4.5 g; PS often ~4.0–5.0 g). |
| Density | PP ≈ 0.90 g/cm³; PS ≈ 1.04 g/cm³. Affects perceived sturdiness and shipping mass calculations. |
| Heat Resistance | PP: brief contact up to ~100 °C (limited hot-fill). PS: not recommended for hot contents; may deform above ~60–80 °C. Not all variants are microwave-safe. |
| Microwave Suitability | Most PS cups: not microwave-safe. Select PP variants can be microwave-tolerant for short durations; always verify material-specific guidance before microwaving. |
| Chemical Resistance | Good resistance to water and many non-polar solvents; alcohols and aggressive solvents (e.g., strong ketones) can affect clarity and integrity—test for specific formulations. |
| Recycling Identifier | Polystyrene typically marked with recycling code #6; Polypropylene marked with #5. Local recycling acceptance varies—check municipal programs. |
| PCR & Sustainable Options | Post-consumer recycled (PCR) content can be incorporated in many PP/PS profiles (commonly up to 20–30% while retaining functional clarity/strength). Compostable PLA alternatives exist for industrial composting. |
| Certifications / Compliance | Design and materials commonly used to meet food-contact regulations (e.g., EU food contact framework, FDA food-contact guidance) and managed under quality systems such as ISO 9001. Specific certificates provided per batch/test where required. |
| Typical Mechanical Properties | Tensile strength: ~25–40 MPa (material-dependent). Flexural modulus: varies widely; design margins recommended for filled-load handling and drop performance. |
| Manufacturing Method | Thermoforming (vacuum/forming) and injection molding are common. Thermoforming is widely used for thin-walled clear cups; injection molding for more robust, thicker-walled variants. |
| Typical Production Throughput | Single thermoforming line output example: ~15,000–30,000 cups/day (dependent on cycle time, mold cavities, and shift hours). Multiple lines scale accordingly. |
| Standard Lead Times | Typical production lead time ranges: 10–20 working days for standard runs; tooling or custom-color orders may require additional time. Lead times depend on order size and current factory scheduling. |
| Packaging Options | Common: nested stacks in cardboard cartons, sleeve-wrapped packs, or palletized cartons. Protective inner packaging can be applied for long-distance shipment. |
| Color & Finish | Clear, translucent, and opaque white are typical. Custom colors achievable via masterbatch or surface treatment; optical clarity varies with pigment/loading. |
| Typical Applications | Cold beverages, promotional samplings, dessert portions, events, institutional service, and retail single-serve packaging. |
| Shelf Life & Storage | Stable if stored dry, away from direct sunlight, and at moderate temperatures; recommended to use within 2 years for best optical clarity and stackability. |
| Disposal & End-of-Life | Recycle where facilities accept PS/PP. Compostable PLA variants require industrial composting. Encourage local disposal guidance and sorting by material type. |
| Quality Control | Typical checks: dimensional inspection, wall-thickness sampling, visual clarity, leak test, and food-contact migration testing where applicable. |
| Design Notes | Stackability, rim geometry, and side-taper are critical for automated filling and dispensing. Slight geometry tweaks can reduce material use while preserving performance. |
