4 Cup Paper Pulp Holder Trays (180 pcs)

1. Product overview of 4 Cup Paper Pulp Holder Trays

The Lumapack 4 Cup Paper Pulp Holder Tray is a moulded paper carrier designed to hold four cups securely during transport and service. Made from kraft-coloured paper pulp, each tray provides a stable, structured grip that minimises cup movement and reduces the risk of spillage when carrying multiple drinks at once.

Suitable for both hot and cold drink service, the 4 Cup Paper Pulp Holder Tray is a practical alternative to plastic carriers, offering a paper-based construction that supports the eco-conscious packaging approach of cafés, coffee shops, takeaways, and food-to-go operations across the UK.

Supplied in cases of 180 pieces, the tray is designed for commercial foodservice environments where reliable, high-volume cup carrying is required across multiple service periods throughout the day.

2. Typical foodservice uses for 4 Cup Paper Pulp Holder Trays

The 4 Cup Paper Pulp Holder Tray is selected by foodservice operators that regularly fulfil multi-drink orders for collection or delivery. It is particularly well suited to operations where customers carry multiple cups simultaneously or where delivery drivers handle grouped drink orders.

Common applications include:

• Coffee shops and cafés serving grouped hot drink orders for dine-in customers or office collections, where carrying four cups at once is a regular part of counter service
• Takeaway and quick-service restaurants that pack multiple cold or hot drinks alongside food orders, requiring a stable carrier that prevents tipping during handover
• Food delivery operations where drivers transport multi-drink orders and need a secure, lightweight tray to protect cups during transit
• Event catering and outdoor service where staff carry drinks across distances and require a hands-free, structured carrier for efficient beverage distribution
• Bubble tea and specialty cold drink outlets that regularly fulfil group orders of four drinks in a single transaction

This format is particularly suited to operations managing a high proportion of group drink orders, where a reliable four-cup carrying solution reduces handling time and improves service efficiency.

3. Operational benefits of 4 Cup Paper Pulp Holder Trays for foodservice

• Secure four-cup carrying in a single tray: The moulded paper pulp construction cradles each cup individually, reducing movement during handling and minimising the risk of spills during counter handover or delivery transit. This makes multi-drink service faster and safer for both staff and customers.
• Suitable for hot and cold drinks: The tray accommodates standard cup sizes used across hot and cold drink service, making it compatible with the majority of paper cup formats available in UK foodservice operations.
• Paper-based, plastic-free construction: Made from paper pulp, the tray offers a plastic-free carrying solution that aligns with the sustainability commitments of cafés and food-to-go operators seeking to reduce single-use plastic across their packaging range.
• Lightweight and easy to handle: Despite its structural rigidity, the paper pulp tray remains lightweight, making it comfortable to carry and practical for staff working across busy service periods.
• Supplied in commercial case quantities: Cases of 180 pieces support consistent stock availability for operations with regular multi-drink order volumes, reducing reordering frequency during peak periods.

5. What sets these 4 Cup Paper Pulp Holder Trays from Lumapack apart

Lumapack 4 Cup Paper Pulp Holder Trays are positioned to offer a reliable, commercially practical carrying solution for UK foodservice operations at a competitive case price, with a paper pulp construction that supports a plastic-free service approach.

Moulded paper pulp for structural reliability

The moulded construction provides a more stable, form-fitted carrier than flat card alternatives, holding each cup securely in position rather than relying solely on perimeter friction. This reduces the likelihood of cups tilting or tipping during multi-drink carries, which is particularly important when serving full cups of hot coffee or cold drinks with lids.

Compatible with standard UK cup sizes

The four-cup format accommodates standard cup diameters used across the UK foodservice market, making the tray a flexible option for cafés and takeaways operating across different cup brands and sizes.

Supports plastic-free packaging commitments

As a paper-based product, the tray supports operations that have committed to removing single-use plastic carriers from their packaging range, in line with broader UK and EU sustainability trends within the foodservice and hospitality sectors.
