From a factory floor in China, I’m proud to offer a 500ml Plastic Cup that stands up to daily usage in cafes, events, or catering. As a manufacturer—yes, based in China—I know what B2B buyers need: consistent quality, reliable supply, and competitive pricing. Our 500ml Plastic Cup is made from food-grade PP/PET, BPA-free, designed for hot or cold drinks, leak-proof lid options, stackable for easy storage, and crystal-clear to showcase your beverages. We can customize logo printing, color options, and packaging to meet bulk orders. We ship direct from factory to you, reducing middleman costs. Certifications: FDA/LFGB compliant. We offer MOQs tailored for your project and a lead-time that fits tight schedules. If you’re looking for a dependable supplier who speaks your language and understands China manufacturing, we’re ready to partner with your team.
Sourcing high-quality 500ml plastic cups backed by deep manufacturing expertise means reliability from design to delivery. Our team combines material knowledge (PET/PP options, rPET for sustainable choices), precision tooling and strict quality control to produce lightweight, stackable cups with consistent wall thickness, leak-resistant rims and food-safe finishes. Customized printing, color matching, lid compatibility and reinforced bases are available to meet branding and functional needs while keeping cost-efficiency and compliance with international food-safety standards. Buyers benefit from scalable production capacity, flexible MOQs, rapid prototyping and sample approval, plus transparent lead times and export-ready packaging. Pre-shipment inspections, test reports and responsive after-sales support ensure smooth global logistics and minimal risk. Whether for retail, catering or events, partnering with an experienced supplier streamlines procurement, lowers total cost of ownership and accelerates time-to-market.
