Key takeaways

• Cups are sold by the carton, and each product page shows the carton price and the price per item.
• Single wall cups come in cartons of 1000 and double wall cups in cartons of 500, so check the carton size when you compare prices.
• Match lids to the cup's size and rim, and use the "One Lid Fits All" cups if you want fewer lid lines to manage.
• There is no minimum order. All orders are prepaid online.
• Logo printing is available on selected cups through custom print.

What coffee cups should a Melbourne café stock?

Plan for a small cup for piccolos and short blacks, a regular cup and a large cup, in whichever wall type suits your counter. Packery stocks 6oz, 8oz, 12oz and 16oz cups, so you can cover the whole menu from one supplier and one order.

A practical starting point is one size per drink you sell most, in one style, rather than every combination. For small drinks, the 6oz Aqueous Coated Coffee Cups – Single Wall Art Print 80mm (Carton of 1000) is $69.67 per carton, or $0.08 each. For the regular size, the 8oz Aqueous Coated Coffee Cups – Single Wall Art Print (Carton of 1000) is $79.90 per carton, or $0.08 each. For larges, the 12oz Aqueous Coated Coffee Cups – Single Wall Art Print 90mm (Carton of 1000) is $139.73 per carton, or $0.14 each, and the 16oz Aqueous Coated Coffee Cups – Double Wall Art Print (Carton of 500) is $125.18 per carton, or $0.25 each.

Single wall or double wall: which suits your café?

Single wall cups cost less per item and come in larger cartons; double wall cups have a second paper wall and come in cartons of 500. Most of the range is paper with an aqueous coating, in printed (Multi colour) or plain white designs.

At 12oz, the gap is easy to see. The single wall art print cup is $0.10 each, while the 12oz Aqueous Coated Coffee Cups – Double Wall Art Print 90mm (Carton of 500) is $71.55 per carton, or $0.14 each. If you want a plain look, the white 12oz cups are $0.16 each for single wall and $0.25 each for double wall. There is also a kraft option: the 12oz Kraft Coffee Cups – Lined SW Print 90mm, which is PLA-lined paper in brown, at $135.09 per carton of 1000, or $0.14 each.

How do I pair cups with the right lids?

Order lids by cup size and rim diameter, not by cup name alone. Where a product name lists the rim, such as 80mm on the 6oz cups or 90mm on the 12oz cups, use that figure when you choose the lid.

If you want to keep fewer lid lines in the storeroom, look at the cups labelled "One Lid Fits All". The 8oz Aqueous Coated Coffee Cups – Single Wall Art Print One Lid Fits All (Carton of 1000) is $116.09 per carton, or $0.12 each, and the 8oz Aqueous Coated Coffee Cups – Double Wall Art Print One Lid Fits All (Carton of 500) is $68.83 per carton, or $0.14 each. If you are unsure which lid fits, contact us before you order. For lid styles and how to choose between them, see our guide to takeaway coffee cup lids.

Which one should I buy?

Pick by how your venue sells coffee, then fill gaps later. These are sensible starting points:

• Busy espresso bar or laneway café: the 6oz Aqueous Coated Coffee Cups – Single Wall Art Print 80mm (Carton of 1000) for small drinks and the 8oz Aqueous Coated Coffee Cups – Single Wall Art Print (Carton of 1000) for regulars keep the per-item price at $0.08 and $0.08 each.
• Café wanting fewer lid lines: the 8oz Aqueous Coated Coffee Cups – Single Wall Art Print One Lid Fits All (Carton of 1000) or its double wall version.
• Venue that prefers double wall for takeaway: the 12oz Aqueous Coated Coffee Cups – Double Wall Art Print 90mm (Carton of 500) at $0.14 each, plus the 16oz double wall cup for large orders.
• Large-size drinks for commuters: the 12oz Aqueous Coated Coffee Cups – Single Wall Art Print 90mm (Carton of 1000) at $0.14 each.
• Office runs and multi-drink orders: add the Coffee Cups – 4 Egg Board Carry Tray (Carton of 300), made from recycled paper, at $46.18 per carton, or $0.15 each.
• Café that wants its logo on the cup: choose a cup marked for custom printing, such as the 12oz Kraft Coffee Cups – Lined SW Print 90mm or the white cups, and see custom print.
