Bubble Tea Cups for Wellington Operators
Wellington's café scene is serious — your cups should be too.
We stock bubble tea cups in 12oz, 16oz, 22oz, and 24oz. Clear and printed options, PP, rPET, and PLA materials, all heat-seal compatible and ready for wide-bore straws. Dome lids and sealing film available to match.
Order before 4pm on a business day and we dispatch the same day on stocked lines. Two Wellington operators are already running with Frankly — here's everything they're ordering.
Sizes and Materials
Four sizes in stock: 12oz, 16oz, 22oz, and 24oz. The 16oz and 24oz move fastest for classic milk tea and loaded fruit teas. If you're doing smaller tasting portions or kids' drinks, the 12oz is the one.
Material options:
- PP (polypropylene) — durable, heat-seal compatible, good for hot and cold.
- rPET (recycled PET) — clear, rigid, popular for transparent cups where the drink is the show.
- PLA (plant-based) — compostable option for operators who need to meet venue or council requirements.
Lids, Domes, and Sealing Film
The cups are only half the story. We stock matching dome lids for whipped cream and topping builds, plus sealing film for heat-sealed cups. Both are sized to fit the cups we carry, so you're not guessing at compatibility.
Wide-bore straws are stocked separately. Paper and clear plastic options available, sold by the box.
Why Wellington Operators Buy in Bulk
Wellington has one of the highest café densities per capita in the world. That means competition is real and margins are tight. Buying cups by the carton drops your per-unit cost and keeps your storage simple — flat-stack design, consistent sizing, no rogue lids that don't fit.
We're upfront: we currently serve two bubble tea operators in Wellington. That number is growing. If you want consistent supply without chasing three different suppliers, talk to us.
Ordering and Dispatch
Order before 4pm on any NZ business day and we dispatch the same day on stocked lines. Wellington delivery times depend on courier from our dispatch point — we don't invent estimates we can't back up.
No minimum order is advertised here, but buying by the carton is how the pricing works. Get in touch if you want to talk volumes or set up a repeat order schedule.
