Wholesale Disposable Cups for UK Foodservice

Paper, ripple and PET formats in stock

The disposable cups range spans the four formats UK foodservice reaches for — single-wall paper coffee cups (cheapest hot-drink format, typically served with a sleeve), double-wall paper coffee cups (insulated, sleeve-free), kraft ripple coffee cups (premium triple-wall finish for specialty coffee), and clear PET cold cups (smoothies, iced coffee, juices, fizzy drinks). Cup sizes run 4oz espresso through 20oz extra-large. Matching flat lids for straw service and dome lids for whipped-cream toppings are stocked alongside every cup size to prevent lid-mismatch errors at fast-paced service points.

Disposable cups certified for direct food contact

Every disposable cups specification is food-contact safe under UK and EU Regulation 1935/2004. Paper cups use PE-lined or compostable PLA-lined FSC-certified kraft stock; cold cups use clear PET (recyclable through standard plastic streams) or compostable PLA bioplastic. FSC base stock is recyclable through standard paper streams when uncontaminated by coating breakdown. Compostable PLA-lined and PLA-walled alternatives are stocked across both hot and cold formats for operators tracking sustainability commitments. PFAS-free across the range. Certification documents accompany trade-account orders and are available on request for HACCP audits.

No minimum order on the disposable cups range

Westbids does not operate minimum order quantities on disposable cups — a single case ships at the same trade pricing as a pallet quantity, with no surcharge or set-up fee. Bulk orders earn tiered discounts on pallet quantities. Free local delivery applies on trade orders over £99 within the Newcastle delivery zone; UK-wide next-day delivery is available at checkout at standard courier rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the minimum order on disposable cups?

There is no minimum order on the disposable cups range — buy a single case or order by the pallet. The same trade pricing applies in either case, with no small-order surcharge. Volume tiers add discount on pallet quantities; full pricing breakpoints are visible after registering a trade account.

Hot drinks vs cold drinks — which cup do I need?

Hot-drink service uses PE- or PLA-lined paper cups (single-wall, double-wall or ripple). Cold-drink service uses clear PET or compostable PLA cups so the drink is visible. Match the cup to the drink temperature — paper cups aren't designed for cold liquids long-term, and PET cups aren't rated for hot drinks.

Are compostable disposable cups available?

Yes — compostable PLA-lined paper cups and PLA cold cups are stocked alongside conventional PE-lined and PET formats. PLA variants meet EN 13432 industrial-composting standards and are favoured by operators with sustainability commitments. Coating type is listed on every product page.

How fast do orders ship?

Orders placed before 1pm dispatch the same working day from Newcastle. Free local delivery applies on trade orders over £99 within the Newcastle delivery zone; UK-wide orders ship on a paid next-day courier service charged at checkout.
