FAQs

Are these containers truly leak-proof?

The cups are designed with a PE coating and secure-fitting lids to be leak-resistant for most foods. However, the vented lids, while preventing pressure buildup, may not create an absolutely airtight seal, especially with very thin liquids during vigorous movement.

Can I reuse these containers?

These are disposable containers intended for single use. Washing them is not recommended as it can damage the PE coating and compromise their integrity.

How do the vented lids work?

The vents allow steam generated from hot foods to escape, preventing the buildup of pressure inside the container which could otherwise cause the lid to pop off or the container to deform.

Are these containers suitable for serving ice cream?

Yes, they are perfect for cold foods like ice cream, yogurt, and other frozen desserts due to their durable construction and resistance to cold temperatures.

What does 'food grade' mean for these cups?

'Food grade' means the materials used in the construction of the cups meet strict standards for safety and are suitable for contact with food without leaching harmful substances.

Can I put these in a dishwasher?

No, these are disposable paper containers and are not designed to withstand the heat and water pressure of a dishwasher.

What is the capacity of these cups?

Each cup has a capacity of 26 fluid ounces.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to secure.

Ensure the rim of the cup is clean and dry. Align the lid carefully with the cup's rim before applying pressure to snap it into place.

Minor leakage from the rim.

Check if the cup is overfilled. Ensure the lid is fully and evenly secured. For very liquidy foods, consider a secondary containment if transporting for extended periods.

Cup feels flimsy with hot food.

Allow extremely hot foods to cool slightly before sealing the lid. Ensure the PE coating is intact. Avoid leaving very hot liquids in the cup for excessively long periods without the lid secured.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eco-friendly and recyclable material.
  • Leak-proof and grease-resistant design.
  • Suitable for both hot and cold food items.
  • Microwave and freezer safe for versatile food storage and reheating.
  • Vented lids help manage steam and prevent spillage.

Cons

  • Lids are vented, which may not create a completely airtight seal.
  • Disposable nature contributes to waste, despite being recyclable.
  • Kraft paper may become less rigid with prolonged exposure to very hot, liquid foods.
  • 25 pieces per pack might not be ideal for very large events or high-volume businesses without reordering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These containers require no assembly. Simply place your food inside and secure the lid. The lids are designed to snap on securely.

Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of foods, both hot and cold. They are safe for use in microwaves and freezers. Ensure lids are properly aligned before snapping them shut.

Care: These are disposable containers and are not intended for repeated use or washing. After use, dispose of them appropriately. For best results with hot foods, do not overfill and ensure the lid is securely fastened. While grease-resistant, prolonged exposure to very oily or acidic foods might slightly affect the paper integrity over extended periods.
