Smoothie Cups for Hamilton Operators
Crystal-clear cups that show off the drink, hold the dome lid, and don't split when your Friday rush hits.
We supply smoothie cups to Hamilton operators — from university strip cafes to suburban bubble tea spots. Four local businesses already order through us. The range runs from 235ml up to 530ml, in recyclable PET and compostable PLA, with dome lids that actually stay on.
Orders placed before 4pm on business days ship the same day on stocked lines. No minimums beyond the carton.
The Cups We Stock
Here's what's in the range right now:
- RP2000 — Recyclable Cold Cup 8oz / 235ml, 1000 per carton
- RP2004 — Recyclable Cold Cup 12oz / 430ml, 1000 per carton
- RP2006 — Recyclable Cold Cup 16oz / 530ml, 1000 per carton
- RF2300 — Bio Cold Cup 360ml, 1000 per carton
- RF2301 — Bio Cold Cup 500ml, 1000 per carton
- RF4293 — Bio Cold Domed Lid for 300–700ml Clear Cup, 1000 per carton
The recyclable cups are rPET. The bio cups are PLA. Both are crystal clear so the colour of the drink does the work for you.
What Makes These Worth Using
The rim is strong enough to take a dome lid without cracking. That matters when someone's building a smoothie bowl or loading up a thick açaí blend — anything that puts real downward pressure on the cup.
Freezer-safe construction means you can pre-fill and chill without the cup going brittle on you. Clear walls, no tint, no distortion. The drink looks exactly like it should.
Dome lids (RF4293) fit the 300–700ml range, so one lid SKU covers most of what you're pouring.
Hamilton's Hospo Scene
Hamilton is growing fast. The university strip runs hard during semester, and the suburban takeaway market around Chartwell, Rototuna, and Te Rapa is genuinely busy year-round. Smoothie bars, bubble tea shops, and juice counters all need a cup that photographs well and holds up through a busy Saturday afternoon.
We already supply four Hamilton operators in this category. If you're not one of them yet, the account setup is straightforward.
Ordering and Dispatch
Cut-off for same-day dispatch is 4pm on NZ business days. That applies to stocked lines — all the products listed above qualify.
Cups and lids are sold by the carton (1000 units). No splitting cartons. If you're not sure which size fits your cups, get in touch before you order — mixing an 8oz cup with a dome lid built for 500ml is not a good time.
Frequently asked
What sizes do you stock in Hamilton?+
We stock 8oz (235ml), 12oz (430ml), and 16oz (530ml) in recyclable rPET, plus 360ml and 500ml in compostable PLA. All sold in cartons of 1000.
Do the dome lids fit all your cold cups?+
The RF4293 dome lid fits cups in the 300–700ml range. Check the cup SKU before ordering — if you're unsure, contact us and we'll confirm the fit.
What's the lead time for Hamilton delivery?+
Orders placed before 4pm on a NZ business day ship the same day on stocked lines. Delivery timeframes to Hamilton depend on the courier, but we get it out the door fast.
Are these cups suitable for bubble tea?+
Yes. The clear walls and strong rim make them a solid choice for bubble tea. The dome lid works well with wide straws too.
What's the difference between the bio cups and the recyclable cups?+
The bio cups (RF2300, RF2301) are PLA — plant-based and compostable in the right conditions. The recyclable cups (RP2000, RP2004, RP2006) are rPET, which is kerbside recyclable in most NZ councils. Pick based on what your customers value and what your local council accepts.
Can I get custom printing on these cups?+
Custom print isn't listed as a stocked option for this range. Contact us directly to discuss what's possible for your volume.
