FAQ

What size paper food cup is best for ice cream, soup, and sides?

  • 3 oz to 4 oz: Best for single scoops of ice cream, small tasting samples, and condiment sides.
  • 5 oz to 6 oz: The industry standard for large single scoops, small frozen yogurt swirls, or small hot sides (like mac & cheese).
  • 8 oz (Half-Pint): Perfect for double scoops of ice cream, standard cups of hot soup or chili, and medium deli sides.
  • 12 oz: Ideal for triple scoops of ice cream, large portions of soup or chowder, and hearty oatmeal servings.
  • 16 oz (Pint): The go-to size for packing pints of ice cream to-go, large deli salads, and sharing-size sides.

Can you put hot soup in paper ice cream cups?

Yes, but only if the cup is double-poly coated. Standard paper cups will sweat and leak when filled with hot liquids. Our paper food cups are double-poly sealed, making them highly resistant to heat and moisture. Our 12 oz and 16 oz heavy-duty paper bowls are widely used by restaurants for hot soup, chili, and hot deli sides.

Are paper ice cream cups freezer safe?

Yes! Because our cups feature a double-poly coating on both the inside and outside, they are designed to withstand freezing temperatures without the paper degrading. Our 8 oz and 16 oz bulk paper pint containers are perfect for shops that pre-pack frozen treats, as the coating helps prevent freezer burn and keeps the container sturdy as it thaws.

What is the difference between single poly and double poly cups?

A single poly cup only has a protective coating on the inside, meaning condensation on the outside can cause the paper to get soggy and collapse. A double-poly coated cup has a moisture barrier on both the inside and the outside. This makes the cup completely leak-proof, prevents sweating, and keeps the container rigid whether you are serving hot soup or frozen desserts.

What size paper cups are best for food samples?

For mini portions, trade show tastings, and dessert sampling, our 3 oz double-poly paper cups are the industry standard. They are small enough to keep your portion costs low, but durable enough to hold wet, hot, or cold samples without leaking onto your customers' hands.
