Smoothie Packaging for Auckland Operators
54 Auckland smoothie and juice bars already order through us — here's what they're buying.
Auckland runs on smoothies. From the CBD to Ponsonby to Newmarket, there's a juice bar or healthy grab-and-go on almost every block. Your cup is the first thing a customer picks up and the last thing they throw away — it needs to hold a 500ml açaí blend without going soggy, stack cleanly on your bench, and not embarrass you when someone posts it on Instagram.
We stock bio cold cups and recyclable cold cups in sizes from 235ml to 530ml. Sold by the carton, dispatched the same day if you order before 4pm on a business day.

The bio cups are made from plant-based materials. The recyclable range is a hard-wearing PET-style cup that goes in the recycling bin. Pick what fits your brand and your waste stream.
What Size Actually Works for Smoothies
Most smoothie operators land on 500ml as their workhorse size. It fits a standard recipe, leaves room for ice, and feels substantial in a customer's hand. The 360ml bio cup is solid for kids' sizes or a short boost option.
If you're running a juice bar that also does a small wheatgrass shot or a snack-sized drink, the 235ml recyclable cup covers that without looking undersized.
The 430ml and 530ml recyclable cups suit operators who want a consistent branded look across a range of drink sizes — same cup style, different fill line.
Bio vs Recyclable — Which One to Choose
The bio cups (RF2300, RF2301) are made from plant-based materials, which some Auckland customers actively look for. If sustainability is part of your front-of-house story, these help you back it up.
The recyclable PET cups (RP2000, RP2004, RP2006) are clearer, show off the colour of a mango smoothie or a green blend, and go into the yellow recycling bin. They're also tougher against condensation on a hot Ponsonby afternoon.
Neither is wrong. A lot of operators stock both and use them depending on the order.

Frequently asked
Do these cups come with lids?+
Lids are listed separately in the catalogue. Check the smoothie cups page for compatible lid options that fit the 360ml, 500ml, 430ml, and 530ml sizes.
What's the minimum order quantity?+
All cups are sold by the carton. Each carton contains 1000 cups. There's no minimum number of cartons — one carton is fine.
Can I get custom printed cups?+
Custom print isn't covered in our standard stocked range. Get in touch directly and we can talk through what's possible for your volume.
Are the bio cups compostable or just biodegradable?+
The RF2300 and RF2301 are bio cold cups made from plant-based materials. For specific compostability certification details, contact us and we'll get you the exact spec sheet.
How long does delivery take to Auckland?+
We dispatch stocked lines same business day if your order is in before 4pm. Delivery timeframes from there depend on the courier, but Auckland is well-served.
Do you supply other packaging for a smoothie bar — like bowls and deli containers?+
Yes. We stock salad bowls and deli containers that work well for açaí bowls, fruit cups, and grab-and-go snacks. Links to those ranges are on this page.
