Product Information

Full details

The ECONX 16oz Disposable Soup Cups are designed for convenience and eco-friendliness, ideal for anyone serving hot or cold food for takeout, events, or home use. Their key benefit is providing a leak-proof, grease-resistant, and microwave/freezer-safe solution that helps maintain food temperature and prevents spills. A potential caveat is that while the lids are vented, they are designed to prevent accidental spillage, implying a balance between breathability and secure closure.

FAQs

Are these containers truly leak-proof?

Yes, the containers feature an inner PE coating that makes them leak-proof and grease-resistant, ideal for containing sauces, oils, and liquids.

Can I put these in the dishwasher?

No, these are disposable paper containers and are not designed for washing or dishwashers. They are intended for single use.

How many containers and lids are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 25 pieces, which includes 25 containers and 25 matching lids.

What is the capacity of these soup cups?

These are 16oz (approximately 473ml) capacity containers.

Are the lids completely sealed or do they have vents?

The lids are designed with vents to allow steam to escape, preventing the container from thermally expanding and reducing the risk of accidental spillage during transport.

Can I use these for hot soup and also for ice cream?

Yes, they are suitable for a wide range of uses, including hot soups, stews, noodles, as well as cold desserts like ice cream and frozen yogurt.

Are these containers recyclable?

The kraft paper is environmentally friendly and recyclable in many areas. Please check your local recycling guidelines for proper disposal.

Can I microwave these containers?

Yes, the containers are microwave safe, making them convenient for reheating food.

Troubleshooting

Lid not fitting securely

Ensure the rim of the container is clean and dry. Press down firmly and evenly around the entire edge of the lid to create a proper seal. Check for any damage to the lid or container rim.

Slight leakage from the seam

Verify that the PE coating is intact. For very liquid items, consider using an additional outer bag for transport. Ensure the container is not overfilled.

Container feels flimsy when hot

While designed to be sturdy, extremely hot liquids for extended periods can soften paper products. Avoid filling to the brim with boiling liquids and handle with care. The vented lid helps manage steam, but the material has limits.

Container shows grease stains

The PE coating is designed to be grease-resistant, but extremely oily foods over a long duration might eventually show some minor staining. This is typically superficial and does not compromise the container's integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These containers are ready to use straight out of the packaging. Simply fill them with your desired food and secure the included lid. Ensure the lid is pressed down firmly around the rim to create a seal.

Compatibility: The containers are compatible with most standard microwave ovens for reheating purposes and standard freezers for food storage. They are designed for food service applications and are compatible with a wide range of hot and cold food items. Avoid prolonged contact with highly acidic foods if storage is extended.

Care: As disposable containers, they are not designed for repeated washing and reuse. After use, empty the container and dispose of it appropriately. The kraft paper is recyclable in many areas; check local recycling guidelines. Do not attempt to wash and reuse the containers as the PE coating may degrade.
