Frequently Asked Questions: Hotel Cups & Lids
Why should my hotel use individually wrapped cups in the guestrooms?
In the post-pandemic hospitality landscape, visible hygiene is the number one priority for travelers. An unwrapped cup sitting on a bathroom vanity or next to a coffeemaker leaves guests wondering if it was handled by the previous occupant or merely wiped down by housekeeping. Individually wrapped cups (sealed in thin plastic) provide absolute peace of mind, proving that the drinkware is 100% clean, sanitary, and safe to use.
What is the difference between a double-wall and a ripple-wall hot cup?
Both styles are designed to protect hands from burning without the need to buy separate cardboard sleeves. Double-wall cups feature a smooth outer paper layer with a hollow insulating air pocket between it and the inner cup. Ripple-wall cups feature a textured, corrugated outer layer that provides excellent heat dispersion and a superior, anti-slip grip. Both offer a highly premium feel for hotel coffee stations.
Are paper water cups better than plastic for bathroom vanities?
Both are excellent choices, and it usually comes down to property preference and sustainability goals. Wrapped paper water cups are highly popular because they are more eco-friendly and break down easily after disposal. Wrapped clear plastic cups are favored by some properties because they are slightly more rigid, making them ideal for holding ice or using while brushing teeth without the cup softening.
Do the lids fit all 9 oz. hot cups in your inventory?
Yes. Our standard bulk dome lids are universally designed to securely snap onto our 9 oz. disposable paper hot cups, our 9 oz. double-wall cups, and our 9 oz. ripple-wall cups. This allows property managers to easily standardize their inventory, ordering one lid style that fits all of their hot beverage stations.
