Wholesale 12oz & 14oz Cups

The 12oz size is one of the most popular choices for regular hot drinks in the UK. It works well for lattes, cappuccinos, Americanos, mochas, hot chocolates, teas, chai, matcha and other everyday café drinks. For many coffee shops, workplace drink stations and hospitality setups, 12oz gives a practical middle ground between smaller 8oz cups and larger 16oz servings.

This range includes different 12oz cup styles for different service needs. Single wall 12oz cups are a cost-effective option for high-volume hot drink service and can be paired with cardboard sleeves for extra comfort. Double wall 12oz cups have a smooth insulated finish and are usually comfortable to hold without a separate sleeve. Ripple 12oz cups, also known as triple wall cups, use a textured outer layer for extra grip and heat protection, making them popular for takeaway coffee, tea, hot chocolate and soup.

For vending machines and automatic hot drink systems, this collection also includes 12oz paper vending cups. These are designed for compatible machines and cup-drop mechanisms, with selected 12oz vending cups using an 80mm diameter for larger drink selections. Always check your machine requirements, existing cup and product details before ordering, as standard takeaway cups and vending cups are not always interchangeable.

The collection also includes compatible lids, including 12oz / 16oz sip-through lids and selected moulded fibre lids. Lid fit is based on rim diameter rather than cup size alone, so always check the individual product page before ordering cups and lids separately. Some vending cups may not use the same lids as standard takeaway cups, so product-specific compatibility matters.

Alongside the hot drink range, this collection houses 14oz clear cold cups and lids for iced coffee, iced lattes, iced matcha, smoothies, milkshakes, frappés, juices and other chilled drinks. Clear rPET cold cups are useful for showing off layered drinks, colourful syrups, ice, fruit blends and premium cold drink presentation.

12oz and 14oz cups are used across a wide range of commercial settings. Cafés and coffee shops use them for regular takeaway drinks and seasonal menus. Offices and workplaces use them for staff kitchens, meeting rooms, visitor drinks and coffee stations. Caterers and event teams use them for conferences, markets, festivals and temporary drink setups. Vending operators use compatible 12oz cups for larger machine-served drinks, while dessert parlours and juice bars use 14oz cold cups for chilled drinks and topped serves.

Buying 12oz and 14oz cups wholesale helps businesses keep stock consistent and cost per serve controlled. Bulk cases are useful for regular hot drink service, busy café counters, office refreshment areas, managed vending sites, events, kiosks and food-to-go counters.

Whether you need wholesale 12oz coffee cups for a café, 12oz paper cups for hot drinks, 12oz vending cups for an automatic machine, 14oz cold cups for iced drinks or compatible cup lids for takeaway service, this collection gives you practical trade options for regular drink servings.
