Premium 42 oz Double-Wall Paper Cups

The Cup Source Paper Cup 42 oz is our largest-format single-use cup, engineered for businesses that serve large beverages — from smoothie bowls to oversized iced coffees and bubble tea. The double-wall construction provides superior insulation, keeping drinks hot or cold while protecting your customers' hands from extreme temperatures.

Each cup is crafted from premium virgin kraft paper with a food-grade PE interior lining that ensures leak-proof performance. The natural kraft exterior gives your brand an earthy, premium aesthetic, while the white interior showcases vibrant drink colors.

Sustainability Commitment

These cups are certified compostable under EN 13432 and FSC-certified, meaning the paper fiber comes from responsibly managed forests. When disposed of in a commercial composting facility, the cups break down within 90 days. The PE lining is food-safe and BPA-free.

Perfect for our bubble tea shop!

We've been using the 42 oz double-wall cups for 6 months now and they're phenomenal. No leaks, great insulation, and our customers love the natural kraft look. The custom printing with our logo came out crisp and vibrant. Will keep reordering!

Best value for large-format cups

Switched from another supplier and the quality difference is night and day. These cups hold up to hot liquids without warping, and the double-wall means we don't need sleeves anymore. Saved us about $0.08 per cup. Ordering 100 cases for our next restock.

Great cups, lids sold separately

The cups themselves are excellent — sturdy, well-insulated, and eco-friendly. Only giving 4 stars because I wish they came bundled with lids. The compatible dome lids are available but it would be nice to have a bundle option. Still, highly recommend for the quality.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! The 42 oz double-wall paper cups are designed to handle temperatures from −4°F to 212°F (−20°C to 100°C). The food-grade PE interior lining ensures no leakage, and the double-wall construction provides excellent insulation for hot drinks. However, they are not microwave-safe — they are intended for single-use service only.

Our dome lids in the 4.0–4.2 in size range are fully compatible with these cups. The cup's top diameter is 4.1 in, so a dome lid with a 4.0–4.2 in range provides a snug, leak-resistant seal. You can purchase lids separately or ask us about a cup + lid bundle for additional savings.

Absolutely! We offer full-wrap CMYK printing on these cups with a minimum order quantity of 5,000 units (50 cases). Our design team can help create your artwork at no extra charge, and we provide a free digital proof within 24 hours. Production typically takes 12–18 business days after proof approval.

Yes, these cups are certified compostable under the EN 13432 standard and use FSC-certified paper fiber. When disposed of in a commercial composting facility, they break down within 90 days. The PE lining is BPA-free and food-safe. For home composting, we recommend our fully PLA-lined options (available upon request).

Our bulk pricing tiers for the 42 oz paper cups are: 1–9 cases at $48.99/case, 10–49 cases at $45.07/case (8% off), and 50+ cases at $43.11/case (12% off). For orders exceeding 100 cases, we offer a custom quote. Contact our sales team for a personalized pricing plan tailored to your volume.
