Our soup paper cups are made from high-quality food-grade paper: Kraft (natural, unbleached), white (bright, premium), or bamboo (renewable). Inner linings: PE (standard waterproof), PLA (plant-based, compostable), or Bio-PBS (biobased, biodegradable). Inks are water-based, eco-friendly, food-safe. All materials comply with FDA and EU regulations.

Yes! Leak resistance is a key feature: food-grade inner lining (PE/PLA/Bio-PBS), reinforced heat-sealed side seams, precision-rolled rim for secure lid fit, reinforced base. All cups tested for leak resistance with hot, oily soups. For extended transport, our secure lid options provide complete leak protection.

8 oz (240ml): small soups, samples, sides, kids' meals. 12 oz (355ml): standard lunch portions – most popular. 16 oz (473ml): large portions, main course soups. 26 oz (768ml): family-sized, sharing. 32 oz (946ml): extra-large, catering, bulk takeaway.

Yes! PLA-lined bowls are certified for industrial composting (EN13432). Break down in commercial facilities within 90-180 days, return to organic matter, no microplastics. Not suitable for home composting (temps too low). Requires access to industrial composting facilities. For others, Bio-PBS (biodegradable) or Aqueous (recyclable) options available.

Engineered for soup: higher heat resistance (100°C), oil-resistant lining, reinforced construction for hot liquids, wider mouth options, secure lid fit, eco-friendly materials (PLA, Bio-PBS, bamboo). Regular cups may not have same heat/oil resistance or structural integrity.
