Coffee Cups for Dunedin Cafes and Takeaways
37 Dunedin operators already order with us — here's what they're running.
Dunedin runs on coffee. From the cafes on George Street to the takeaway windows near campus, a bad cup is a lost regular. The cup matters.
We stock single-wall and double-wall hot cups in 8oz, 12oz, and 16oz, with sleeves and lids to match. Stocked lines ship same day on orders in before 4pm.
Single-Wall Cups — Workhorse Stock for Busy Counters
Three colour options in 12oz single-wall: grey (RP1032), tan (RP1056), and yellow (RP1048). All 400ml, all 1000 per carton. If you go through volume, these are your everyday cup.
Need a sleeve? We stock matching 8oz sleeves (F3020) and 12oz sleeves (F3022), both in 1000-carton runs. Sleeve-plus-single-wall is often cheaper than running double-wall across the whole range.
Double-Wall Cups — No Sleeve Needed
The Art Series double-wall cups come in 8oz 255ml (RP1016-1) and 12oz 390ml (RP1012-1), 1000 per carton. Insulation is built into the wall, so your customer's hand doesn't get burned and you skip the sleeve cost.
For 16oz, the Beleaf double-wall (RP1020) runs 495ml and comes in 500-carton quantities. PLA lining, print-ready surface. Good option if you're running oat flat whites or large takeaway filter.
What to Run in a Student-Area Cafe
High turnover, price-sensitive customers, and a lot of 12oz flat whites. That's most of the campus strip. Single-wall 12oz with a sleeve is the standard setup — fast to grab, easy to brand with a sticker if you're not ready for custom print.
If you're doing a lot of table service or long queue times, double-wall means fewer complaints about hot cups. Worth the small cost difference at volume.
- High volume, budget-conscious: RP1056 or RP1032 + F3022 sleeves
- No sleeve, cleaner look: RP1012-1 Art Series double-wall 12oz
- Large format drinks: RP1020 Beleaf 16oz double-wall
Materials and Lining Options
Our hot cups use PLA lining or aqueous coating — both keep liquid in the cup and off your customer. PLA is compostable under commercial conditions. Aqueous is recyclable through standard paper streams in most NZ councils.
Bagasse cups are available on enquiry for operators who need fully plant-based options. Talk to us if that's what your customers are asking for.
