Disposable Cups

Hospitality Connect lists 206 disposable cups and matching lids for cafes, takeaway counters, catering and quick service. The range covers single wall paper hot cups, cold cups and their lids, from BioPak, Pakmax and Fiesta, with pack quantities stated on each listing.

Match the cup to the drink before anything else. Paper hot cups are built for espresso-based coffee and tea, and wall construction is what sets how much heat reaches the hand, so a single wall cup is usually paired with a sleeve while a thicker wall is not. Cold cups are made for iced coffee, juice and soft drink, and are the format most often chosen clear so the drink shows. Lids are sized to the cup rim rather than the volume, so confirm the rim diameter matches before ordering a carton.

Why buy disposable cups from Hospitality Connect

• Real warehouse stock: The everyday Biopak SKUs ship from local stock.
• Trade pricing on carton and pallet volumes: Volume buyers get per-cup pricing the supermarket suppliers don't match.
• Australian-owned with showroom samples: Check print quality and lid fit before committing to a SKU.
• Multi-site delivery: One order, multiple drop-offs for venue groups.
• Compliance documentation supplied: AS4736 certificates and SDS sheets on request.
• No-pressure quoting: We'll quote alternatives at different price points so you can choose what fits your budget and timeline.
• Local delivery and pickup: Same-day pickup from our Melbourne warehouse; freight to all states with tracked dispatch.

Disposable cup storage and longevity

• Store cool and dry: PLA cups warp above 40°C ambient; keep cartons off concrete floors and exhaust runs.
• FIFO your stock: Plant fibre and PLA shelf-life is around 12 months sealed.
• Don't break the carton seal early: Once seal is broken, plant fibre absorbs moisture and softens.
• Check lid match: 80mm and 90mm rims look similar in stock; mis-sized lids waste an entire carton.
• Bin signage at point of sale: Compostable cups in landfill bins defeat the point — train staff and signage.
