Everything you need to know before ordering PLA bioplastic cups.
Standard PLA has a heat tolerance up to ~55°C (130°F). It is optimized for cold and room-temperature drinks. For hot beverages, we recommend our compostable paper or fiber-based hot cup line. A heat-stabilized PLA variant is available upon request for warm teas (up to 65°C).
Yes. Our PLA cups are certified compostable under ASTM D6400 and EN 13432 standards. They break down in industrial composting facilities within 90–180 days. Home composting is possible but requires sustained warmth and moisture.
Custom full-color printing requires a minimum of 15,000 units per SKU. We offer digital proofing, plate setup support, and eco-friendly soy/vegetable inks. Standard unprinted cups ship at 5,000 units.
Absolutely. We supply fully compostable PLA dome/flat lids, PP lids for hot apps, and PLA or bagasse straws. All accessories are designed to fit our cup dimensions precisely without leakage.
