Wholesale Single Wall Cups for UK Hot-Drink Service

4oz, 8oz, 10oz and 12oz formats in stock

The single wall cups range covers the cost-effective lightweight format UK café and takeaway operators reach for fastest on high-volume hot-drink service — 4oz espresso, 8oz small (typical takeaway coffee), 10oz medium and 12oz large capacities. The single-layer paper construction is the lowest-cost-per-unit format in the disposable-cups family, designed for short-hold hot-drink service where a kraft sleeve provides any required hand insulation. Stock holdings cover the rotation-fastest SKUs at the Newcastle warehouse.

Single wall cups certified for direct food contact

Every single wall cups specification is food-contact safe under UK and EU Regulation 1935/2004. The single-layer PE-lined or PLA-lined paper construction is rated for hot drinks up to standard café-service temperatures (90°C); the FSC-certified kraft base stock is recyclable through standard paper streams when uncontaminated. PLA-lined compostable single wall cups are stocked alongside conventional PE-lined variants for operators tracking sustainability commitments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the minimum order on single wall cups?

There is no minimum order on the single wall 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.

When do I need a sleeve with single wall cups?

Single wall cups have no built-in thermal insulation, so a kraft cup sleeve is typically used for any hot-drink service above 8oz to protect the customer's hand. Double-wall and ripple-wall cups have insulation built into the wall construction and don't need a separate sleeve. The Westbids cup-accessories range carries matching kraft sleeves in standard 8oz, 12oz and 16oz cup-diameter formats.

Which lid matches a single wall cup?

Single wall cups take the same matching cup lid as double-wall and ripple cups of the same capacity — flat sip lids, dome lids and travel lids in 8oz, 10oz, 12oz and 16oz formats. Lids are sold separately alongside each cup capacity. Match the lid size to the cup's exterior rim diameter, not the fluid-ounce capacity.

How fast do single wall cups 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.
