Unlike reusable plastic cups, disposable plastic tea cups are made with thin plastic walls and usually available in clear and white color. The manufacturer made them with one thing in mind it has to be cheap, good for single use and meant to be disposed after using. We don’t want to pay more on an item which we don’t intend of using for more than a minute, don’t we? To reduce the cost, the manufacturer made them with only the basic color and there’s no decoration at all, just plain plastic tea cups. They are also usually purchased in bulk or wholesale, about 100 to 1000 units per pack.
Buying them in large numbers further reduce its cost that’s why people love to buy them in wholesale. They are ideal for school parties, wedding receptions, victory celebrations and family reunions wherein a large number of guests are attending. They are also good for small businesses like rolling food stores, fast food chain or even a small lemonade stand in front of your home. With its low unit cost you can maximize your income and allows you to minimize cost and compete with other stores. They can also save you time for cleaning because you can just throw them away to the trashcan or recycle bin when done drinking thus allowing you to do much important task.
If you want it to be more presentable and at the same time advertise the name of your business, you can have them customized and put your logo and the name of your store on it. Some manufacturers offer them already printed if you order in large quantities. You can also have them paired with plastic lids with straw holes to avoid spillage if your customers need it for take-out. They are commonly available in most department store and online shops like Amazon. Just remember that you can save more if you buy them in bulk plus you also save money in shipping cost.
When using a disposable plastic cups you must consider the temperature of the liquid you intend to use. Since they are only made of thin plastic they are only good for cold beverages and they tend to melt and deform if used with hot liquids like coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Also, if you buy them in bulk you should not store them in places where the temperature is very high to avoid melting or deforming it.
