Material Science

PP & PET: Two Materials for Bubble Tea

PP (Polypropylene) injection cups are the global standard for bubble tea. Molten PP resin is injected into a precision steel mold under high pressure, delivering consistent wall thickness and tight dimensional tolerances. The 90mm opening diameter is compatible with all major heat-seal machines.

PP cups handle -20°C to 120°C, making them safe for cold drinks and compatible with hot-fill applications. Unlike PET, PP does not soften at elevated temperatures — which is why it is the standard for heat-seal machines.

PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) cups offer glass-like clarity (>90% light transmission) at a lower cost. Ideal for showcasing colorful fruit teas and layered drinks. PET cups are heat-sealable with PET-compatible sealing film — check that your sealing machine supports PET (95mm or 98mm) before ordering. See our full PET cups page for sizes and specs.

For brands requiring a compostable alternative, we offer PLA compostable cold cups . For hot drinks, see our paper cups .

Material Guide

PP vs PET Bubble Tea Cups — Which One Fits Your Shop?

Both materials work for bubble tea. The right choice depends on your sealing machine, brand image, and budget. This table covers every key difference.

Feature PP Bubble Tea Cups PET Bubble Tea Cups
Clarity ★★★★ Clear to translucent (injection-molded high clarity) ★★★★★ Crystal clear (>90% light transmission)
Heat Sealable ✅ Yes — Industry standard for boba shops ✅ Yes — Requires PET-compatible sealing film
Sealing Machine Compatibility ✅ Compatible with all major sealing machines ✅ Compatible with PET-specific or universal sealers
Drop Resistance ★★★★★ Shatter-resistant ★★★ Rigid, may crack on impact
Wall Thickness Thicker wall — substantial, premium feel Thinner wall — lighter weight
Premium Feel IML printing capable, high-end texture Glass-like clarity, premium look
Cost Higher (injection molding, thicker material) More cost-effective (thermoforming, lighter)
Best For Sealed milk teas, brown sugar boba, drinks with toppings Fruit teas, layered drinks, visual showcase
Common Diameters 90mm 95mm, 98mm
Common Use Cases Premium chain brands, sealed beverages, drinks with toppings Showcase-focused drinks (fruit teas, layered drinks), takeout-friendly
Temperature Range -20°C to 120°C -20°C to 60°C

* PP injection cups can reach near-PET clarity at higher cost. Both PP and PET cups are heat-sealable — PP uses PP-compatible film; PET uses PET-compatible film or universal PET/CPP composite film.

Choose PP if you need heat-seal

PP 90mm cups are the global standard for bubble tea sealing machines. Best for chain brands, franchise shops, and premium IML branding.

FAQ

Bubble Tea Cups -- Common Questions

What is a PP injection cup?
PP (Polypropylene) injection cups are produced by injecting molten PP resin into a precision mold under high pressure. The result is a rigid, dimensionally consistent cup with excellent clarity and a wide temperature range (-20°C to 120°C). PP injection cups are the global standard for bubble tea, smoothies, and cold beverages requiring heat-seal service.
What is the difference between PP cups and PET cups?
PET cups offer slightly higher optical clarity (>90% light transmission) and are ideal for showcasing drink colors. PP injection cups have a wider temperature tolerance (-20°C to 120°C vs. -20°C to 60°C for PET), superior rigidity, and are the standard for heat-seal machines. For bubble tea shops using sealing machines, PP 90mm cups are the industry standard. See our PET Cups page for a full comparison.
What sizes are available for bubble tea cups?
We offer PP bubble tea cups in 12oz (360ml), 16oz (500ml), 20oz (600ml), and 24oz (700ml). All sizes use the 90mm opening diameter, which is compatible with standard heat-seal machines. Contact us if you need a custom size.
Are your bubble tea cups heat-seal compatible?
Yes. All our PP cups use the 90mm opening diameter, which is the global standard for heat-seal machines (both manual and automatic). The cup rim is precision-molded to ensure a consistent, leak-proof seal with standard sealing film.
What is the difference between clear and frosted PP cups?
Clear PP cups have full transparency, ideal for showcasing colorful drinks. Frosted (matte) PP cups have a semi-opaque finish that gives a premium, upscale appearance -- popular for specialty tea brands. Both types are available in unprinted stock or with offset/IML printing.
What printing methods are available?
We offer three options: (1) Screen (offset) printing -- typically 2–6 color passes using CMYK process or Pantone spot colors, applied directly to the cup wall after molding. MOQ 10,000 pcs/size. (2) IML (In-Mold Label) -- a pre-printed full-color film label fused into the cup wall during injection molding. No color limit, photo-quality graphics, scratch-proof and waterproof. MOQ 10,000 pcs/size. (3) Unprinted stock -- clear or frosted cups ready to ship from 1,000 pcs/size.
Screen printing vs. IML -- which should I choose?
It depends on your brand needs and order volume. Screen printing (2–6 colors, CMYK or Pantone spot) is the right choice when: your artwork uses solid colors, logos, or text; you want a lower MOQ (from 10,000 pcs); you need faster lead times; or you update your design frequently. IML (In-Mold Label, full-color, no color limit) is the right choice when: your artwork includes gradients, photographic images, or complex patterns; you want a premium, scratch-proof finish that looks like part of the cup; you are a franchise or chain brand that needs consistent, high-end visual identity at scale. Key difference: screen printing applies ink on top of the cup surface; IML fuses a pre-printed film into the cup wall during molding -- the result is permanent and cannot peel or scratch off.
What is the packing specification?
PP cups are packed 25 pcs per sleeve, 500 pcs per carton. Cup lids are packed 1,000 pcs per carton. We can arrange custom packing on request for large orders.
Are PP bubble tea cups recyclable?
Yes. PP (Polypropylene) carries resin identification code #5 and is accepted in many municipal recycling programs. It is not biodegradable, but it is fully recyclable. For brands requiring a compostable alternative, we offer PLA compostable cold cups.
