Takeaway Cups Wholesale, Sorted for Trade Buyers
Need takeaway cups wholesale without the markup? Ascot Wholesale stocks hot and cold cups from 4oz to 20oz, in single-wall, double-wall and ripple wall, sold by the case at trade prices.
Whether you’re running a coffee van, a quick-service counter or a full café menu, you’ll find coffee cups wholesale here in the sizes and wall types you actually order week to week. Stock’s held in the UK, so cases move fast once you order.
Choosing the Right Cup Size
Cup size decides your margin per drink and how the cup handles in a customer’s hand. Get it wrong, and you’re either overfilling small cups or wasting board on drinks that don’t need it.
Our range covers:
- 4oz–6oz – espresso shots, sampling cups and small hot drinks. This is where most of our bulk orders land, and 6oz plastic cups with lids are one of our steadiest sellers for cold samples and kids’ drinks.
- 8oz–12oz – standard flat white, latte and filter coffee sizes. The bulk of café counter trade sits here.
- 16oz–20oz – large cold drinks, iced coffee and bigger takeaway teas.
- Single-wall cups – the cheapest option, best paired with a corrugated sleeve for hot drinks.
- Double-wall cups – insulated, no sleeve needed, better for drive-thru and delivery.
- Ripple wall cups – grip and insulation built into the cup itself, popular with independent coffee shops wanting a premium feel without the sleeve cost.
Every size ships with matching lids, so you’re not chasing down a separate SKU to complete the order.
