Disposable Cups Wholesale

Disposable Cups Wholesale for Bars, Parties & Events

Need disposable cups wholesale without the retail markup? You’ve found the right shelf.

We stock plastic and paper cold drink cups by the sleeve, case and pallet – built for bars, festivals, weddings, canteens and any venue pouring drinks fast. This range covers cold-drink cups only: party cups, tumblers and cold beverage cups. Looking for hot takeaway cups instead? That’s a separate range – check our takeaway cups page.

Whether you need clear plastic tumblers for a wedding bar or a pallet of bulk disposable cups for a festival weekend, we’ve got sizes and stock levels to match.

Choosing the Right Disposable Cup

Cold cups aren’t one-size-fits-all. Here’s the quick version:

• Plastic party cups (7oz–20oz) – the standard for house parties, pubs and festivals. Tough, stackable, and cheap enough to bin after one use.
• Clear PET tumblers (9oz–16oz) – used where drinks need to look good: cocktail bars, weddings, corporate events. Crystal clear, no cloudy plastic.
• Wholesale plastic cups in polystyrene or PP for cold soft drinks, squash and water stations at schools, gyms and offices.
• Wholesale paper cups for cold drinks (waxed or PLA-lined) where venues want a more sustainable option than plastic, without switching to reusable glassware.
• Half-pint and pint tumblers for outdoor events and licensed premises that need shatterproof serving cups.

Not sure which size fits your bar or venue? Order a sample sleeve first – most of our cold cup lines are sold in cases of 1,000 to 2,000, so it pays to check before you commit to a pallet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes do disposable cups come in?

Cold drink cups typically run from 7oz shot-style cups up to 20oz party cups, with pint and half-pint tumblers also available for licensed venues.

Are plastic cups or paper cups better for cold drinks?

Plastic holds up better for fizzy or icy drinks and stays crystal clear, while paper cold cups suit venues wanting a lower-plastic option for water or squash service.
