| Attribute | Value | Typical Range / Units | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) | — | Food-grade, transparent polymer commonly used for single‑use clear cups. |
| Polymer Variant | APET (amorphous PET) or PETG in some applications | — | APET offers optical clarity and thermoforming suitability for cups. |
| Typical Capacities | Common portion sizes | ~80 ml, 120 ml, 180 ml, 240 ml, 360 ml | Widely used sizes for single-serve frozen desserts and samples. |
| Top Diameter (typical) | Measured at cup rim | ~60 mm – 95 mm | Varies by capacity and style (rounded, straight, tapered). |
| Height (typical) | Cup depth | ~28 mm – 85 mm | Corresponds to capacity and rim diameter. |
| Wall Thickness | Typical thermoformed gauge | ~0.18 mm – 0.45 mm | Thicker walls increase rigidity and perceived quality. |
| Weight per Piece | Approximate mass | ~3 g – 12 g (depending on size) | Smaller cups toward lower end; larger premium cups toward upper end. |
| Density | Bulk polymer density | ~1.38 g/cm³ | Typical physical property for PET resin used in packaging. |
| Temperature Tolerance | Safe handling range | ~-20°C to +60°C (short‑term) | Not recommended for prolonged exposure to hot liquids (>60–70°C). |
| Microwave Safety | Usage guidance | Not microwave-safe (generally) | Risk of deformation and potential substance migration when heated in microwave. |
| Freezer Suitability | Cold storage | Safe to ~-20°C (short-term) | Good dimensional stability for frozen desserts; condensation when thawing. |
| Recyclability | Resin identification | PET / Recycling code 1 | Widely recyclable where PET collection and sorting systems exist; check local guidelines. |
| Food-Safety Compliance | Regulatory conformity | Meets common food-contact standards | Designed to comply with typical food-contact regulations (e.g., regionally applicable food-contact requirements). |
| Sterilization / Cleaning | Recommended methods | UV, cold chemical (e.g., approved food-grade disinfectants) | Avoid high-temperature autoclave or steam sterilization that can deform PET. |
| Surface Finish & Printing | Appearance options | Clear, frosted, tinted; water‑based printing | Surface treatments (e.g., corona) can improve ink adhesion for printing. |
| Typical Use Cases | Primary applications | Ice cream, frozen desserts, samples, tasting cups | Also used for layered desserts and take-away frozen portions. |
| Shelf Life (packaged) | Unopened storage | ~2–5 years (if stored properly) | Shelf life depends on storage conditions and exposure to UV/heat. |
| Recommended Storage | Environmental conditions | 10°C – 25°C, low humidity, avoid direct sunlight | Protect from prolonged UV exposure to minimize yellowing or property change. |
| Environmental Notes | Life-cycle considerations | Recyclable, not biodegradable | Recycling of PET reduces overall environmental impact; avoid littering and follow local recycling streams. |
