9oz RPET Clear Cups (1000 pcs)

The Lumapack 9oz RPET Clear Cup is a compact, crystal-clear cold drink cup made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET). Designed for professional cold drink service, it is suited to iced coffee, cold brew, frappes, smoothies, and chilled beverages across café, restaurant, takeaway, and delivery operations. With a 95mm top diameter shared across all four sizes in the range, a single lid stock covers your entire menu.

Note: these cups are designed for cold drink applications only and are not suitable for hot beverages.

1. Product Overview of 9oz RPET Clear Cups

At 9oz, this cup is sized for individual portion formats and smaller cold drink serves — including single espresso-based iced drinks, short smoothies, and children's cold drink portions. Its high-clarity RPET construction provides full drink visibility, supporting presentation quality on the counter and during takeaway service.

The cup is manufactured from recycled plastic (RPET), making use of post-consumer material rather than virgin plastic. It is food contact safe, BPA-free, and PFAS-free. Compatible 95mm lids are available separately, including flat, domed, and strawless sip-lid formats.

2. Typical Foodservice Uses for 9oz RPET Clear Cups

The 9oz RPET Clear Cup is typically selected where a compact, clear cold drink cup is required for individual cold beverage portions in café, takeaway, or delivery formats.

• Iced coffee and cold brew serves prepared at café and coffee shop counters, where a compact format is preferred for single espresso-based drinks.
• Frappes and blended drinks produced by quick-service coffee operators, particularly where a smaller portion size is offered alongside larger formats.
• Smoothies and chilled juices offered by juice bars and food-to-go operators, where a single-serve portion is required.
• Children's cold drink portions at family restaurants, cafés, and catering operations where a smaller capacity is needed.
• Iced teas and cold soft drinks served at takeaway counters and deli operations in single-serve formats.

This size is particularly suited to independent coffee shops, multi-site café groups, and delivery-led operations where portion clarity and presentation quality need to remain consistent across locations and service periods.

3. Operational Benefits of 9oz RPET Clear Cups for Cold Drink Service

• Crystal-clear drink presentation: The high-clarity RPET construction provides full visibility of drink colour, layering, and garnishes. This supports presentation quality at the point of service and during takeaway handling, helping products look their best before the customer takes the first sip.
• Durable construction for transit and handling: The cup maintains its shape during typical takeaway and delivery workflows, reducing the risk of deformation during packing, bagging, and customer collection. Compatible lids create a secure closure for sealed delivery use.
• Compact format for individual cold drink portions: At 9oz, this cup provides a defined reference point for smaller cold drink serves. Using a fixed capacity supports consistent portioning across shifts and supports menu design where drink sizes are set in advance.
• Made from recycled plastic: RPET uses post-consumer recycled plastic rather than virgin material, reducing the demand for new plastic production. This supports procurement decisions where recycled content is a consideration.
