Why Are Paper Cone Cups A Smart Choice For USA Teams And Events?

They are cone shaped, one time use, paper cups for fast, easy and sanitary drinking of water. In one line, that’s the gist. Paper cone cups are designed for use in water cooler applications. People sip, hydrate, and go. Its eco-friendly drinkware form factor also helps to minimize desk clutter and cross-contact as the cup cannot be parked. These conical paper cups are made of food-grade paper, lightweight and tidy, easy to store while not using. 

Furthermore, opt for compostable cups or uncoated paper for greener needs. They are durable in high-traffic spots as sustainable beverage containers. Throw on some custom branding in the form of printed artwork, and they are billboards in miniature on the move. When you order with Plus Printers, you will receive dialed-in Printing, precise color and fast Shipping to anywhere in the USA.

What Are Paper Cone Cups?

They are these paper cone cup thingies, which are great for fast hydration or at least single-serve purposes. You will see these water station cups near coolers, registration desks and sampling tables. They are like drinking cones, you drink, and then you destroy. It is why they function as spill-free cups in busy areas of the map. Thanks to their thin tapered profile they are a good carry option for easy holds. 

Moreover, they are single-serve cone cups, non-reusable cones, with a point-bottom paper design that prevents “desk parking.” Surfaces stay clear. Lines move. Hygiene stays front and center.

How is The Cone Shape Useful For Paper Cups?

Further, it can bend. So, spill reduction is just some short sips away and the easy grip is at your hands. A tapered profile fits well in sleeves and dispensers. No soiled stack in the drinking area means no more wet, soiled clusters of used cups at the rim. Its bottom point helps you drink up the last sip, reducing waste and maintaining zones clean. All of that, delivered with a level of lightweight portability that ensures fast restocking.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have been working with several companies - trying to nail down a box size and type for my organic tea business. Chris Martin was the ONLY rep in all of the companies I reached out to who was responsive, helpful, and walked me through the entire process. It was an absolute pleasure to give my small business dollars to Plus Printers! I will provide another review after I receive my custom product!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Chris Martin was so helpful and responsive! We needed custom folders made and looked at various different companies, but Plus Printers ended up offering the best quality and price. This was our first time ordering, but Chris guided us through every step and even sent us videos of sample folders and mockups of our final product so we could proceed with confidence. Thank you Chris and Plus Printers, we will definitely re-order when we run out of this batch.

We are very pleased with our packaging design! It was great working with Steven, I almost didn't work with Plus Printers because of their pricing but Steven went out of his way to try and negotiate prices with the sales department to fit our budget and offered us more budget-friendly packaging options as alternatives. Very responsive to my emails and made sure that our designs were how we wanted them! I look forward to working with them again soon!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

wonderful service from a company that went beyond expectation to help my project get up and running smoothly. My sales rep, Paul, and the design team at Plus Printers made sure to have every detail in place and gave me a quote other companies could not touch! Lead times were accurate and updates for shipping were by far the most stellar i have yet to see. Thanks a milion!
