Clear PET Ice Cream Lids
Clear lids are preferred for covering ice cream because they let you see the tasty toppings and colors of your ice cream. We have two types of PET lids that can fit all our ice cream cups, either paper or plastic.
- PET Dome Lids: Perfect for ice cream servings that require extra space, like piled-high scoops or heapings of toppings.
- PET Flat Lids: Provide a secure seal suitable for ice creams, sorbets, and any frozen treat that doesn’t require additional topping space.
Ice Cream Paper Lids
Molded from sugarcane plant fiber, it’s a more sustainable alternative to plastic lids. They make a perfect match for our range of bulk paper cups. You can choose from complete paper pulp lids or paper lids with PE, Double PE, and compostable PLA coatings.

FAQs About Disposable Ice Cream Cups
- Environmental Impact: Paper cups are generally more eco-friendly and are often recyclable and compostable, whereas plastic cups are less biodegradable.
- Insulation: Paper cups offer better thermal insulation, helping to keep ice cream cold for longer, while plastic cups might allow faster melting.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Plastic cups are usually more cost-effective compared to paper cups, but the price can vary based on quality and quantity.
- Visibility: Plastic cups provide clear visibility of the contents, appealing for display purposes. Paper cups offer opportunities for branding but lack transparency.
- Durability: Plastic cups are more durable and less likely to leak or tear, making them suitable for repeated use, whereas paper cups are intended for single-use and might soak through if not coated.
If sustainability is a key concern for your business, opting for paper ice cream cups would be the better choice. However, if you prioritize durability and visual presentation, plastic ice cream cups might be more appropriate.
