Question 1

What are paper snack cups used for?

Accepted Answer

Paper snack cups (also called chip cups or paper fry cups) are single-use disposable cups designed for serving french fries, onion rings, fried chicken, popcorn, nachos, and other dry or semi-dry snacks. The grease-resistant inner coating keeps the cup structurally sound when holding hot, oily foods.

Question 2

What sizes are available for paper snack cups?

Accepted Answer

CupsPak paper snack cups are available in 3 sizes: 8oz (240ml), 12oz (360ml), and 16oz (480ml). All sizes are available in white and kraft. Custom sizes are available for orders above 100,000 pcs.

Question 3

What is the difference between kraft and white paper snack cups?

Accepted Answer

Kraft paper snack cups use unbleached natural brown paperboard, giving an eco-friendly, artisanal aesthetic popular in street food and casual dining. White paper snack cups use bleached paperboard and provide a clean, neutral canvas for full-color custom printing. Both options are available with the same range of inner coatings (PE, PLA, Aqueous) and offer equivalent structural performance.

Question 4

Can paper snack cups have lids?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CupsPak can supply matching flat lids for paper snack cups. Lids are particularly useful for takeaway and delivery applications where spill prevention is important. Our 8oz cups use a 75mm lid, while the 12oz and 16oz cups use an 80mm lid.

Question 5

Are kraft paper snack cups grease-resistant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All CupsPak paper snack cups — including kraft variants — feature a food-grade inner coating (PE, PLA, or Aqueous) that provides grease and moisture resistance. The outer kraft paperboard surface does not have a coating, giving it a natural texture, but the inner lining ensures the cup remains structurally intact when holding fried foods.

Question 6

What is the MOQ for custom printed snack cups?

Accepted Answer

The standard MOQ for custom printed paper snack cups is 50,000 pieces per size per design. For plain white or plain kraft cups without custom printing, a lower MOQ may be available. Bulk orders above 500,000 pieces qualify for volume pricing.

Question 7

How long does production take for custom paper snack cups?

Accepted Answer

For new custom print orders: artwork approval 2–3 business days, printing plate production 5–7 business days, bulk production 20–25 business days, sea freight to major ports 25–35 days. Total lead time approximately 7–9 weeks. Repeat orders using existing plates: 15–20 business days production plus shipping.
