Helping a Regional Coffee Chain Upgrade Iced Beverage Packaging with PET Clear Cups

Client Background

The client is a rapidly growing regional coffee and beverage chain operating more than 40 stores across urban business districts and shopping centers. Their menu focuses heavily on iced coffee, cold brew, and milk tea, with takeaway orders accounting for over 65% of total sales.

As the brand expanded, the client identified the need for consistent, high-quality disposable clear cups that could support both in-store service and delivery while maintaining a premium visual presentation.

Client Challenges

Before working with us, the client faced several issues with their previous packaging suppliers:

• Inconsistent cup clarity affecting drink presentation

• Occasional cracking during transport and delivery

• Limited size options that restricted menu flexibility

• Long lead times and unstable supply during peak seasons

The client required a reliable PET cup manufacturer capable of supplying multiple sizes, stable quality, and long-term cooperation.

Our Solution

After reviewing the client’s requirements, we provided a complete PET disposable clear cup solution, including:

• 12oz / 16oz / 20oz PET clear cups for iced coffee and milk tea

• High-transparency, food-grade PET material to enhance visual appeal

• Matching flat lids and dome lids with secure sealing performance

• Strict dimensional control to ensure compatibility with their filling process

We also assisted the client in optimizing cup thickness to balance durability and cost efficiency, ensuring suitability for both takeaway and delivery scenarios.

Implementation Process

1. Sample Testing
   The client tested our PET cups in real store conditions, including cold brew preparation, ice-filled drinks, and third-party delivery.

2. Quality Verification
   Cups passed internal tests for clarity, rigidity, and leak resistance, especially during long-distance transport.

3. Bulk Production & Delivery
   After approval, we arranged stable bulk production and export-ready packaging to support their multi-store rollout.

Within three months of switching to our PET clear cups, the client reported:

• Improved drink presentation and customer feedback

The upgraded packaging also helped the brand maintain a consistent visual identity across all locations.
