FAQs

Are these soup cups truly leak-proof?

Yes, the containers feature a PE inner coating designed to be leak-proof and grease-resistant, preventing common spills. However, for extreme conditions or damaged containers, leaks may still occur.

Can I reheat food in these containers?

Yes, they are microwave-safe. It is recommended to reheat for shorter intervals, stir food to ensure even heating, and exercise caution as the container can become hot.

Are these containers suitable for ice cream?

Absolutely. They are ideal for both hot foods like soups and cold desserts such as ice cream, yogurt, and frozen treats.

What is the material of the containers?

The containers are made from food-grade kraft paper with an internal PE coating for added durability and resistance to leaks and grease.

How many containers are included in a pack?

This specific product listing is for a pack of 100 pieces.

Are the lids included with the containers?

Yes, the containers come with matching breathable, vented lids.

Can these be used for outdoor events like picnics or BBQs?

Yes, they are very convenient for outdoor events. The vented lids help manage steam, and their durable, leak-resistant design makes them suitable for transport.

Are these environmentally friendly?

They are made from environmentally friendly food-grade kraft paper and are designed to be recyclable after use, offering a more sustainable disposable option.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to secure or does not seal properly.

Ensure the rim of the cup and the inside of the lid are clean and free of debris. Press down firmly and evenly around the entire edge of the lid until it clicks or feels securely seated. Check that the correct lid size is being used for the cup.

Container appears to be leaking.

Verify that the PE inner coating is intact and that there are no punctures or tears in the kraft paper. Ensure the lid is properly sealed. For very hot or oily foods, monitor the container closely, as extreme conditions can test any disposable container's limits.

Food has cooled down too quickly.

While the containers offer some insulation, they are not designed for prolonged heat retention like insulated thermoses. For extended warmth, pre-heat the container with hot water before filling, or consider an insulated carrier for transport.

Container shows signs of softening or bending with very hot food.

This is more likely with extremely high temperatures or prolonged contact. Ensure food is not significantly above boiling point when placed in the container. If reheating in a microwave, use shorter intervals and stir to distribute heat evenly.
