The compostable soup cup only works commercially if the lining is specified, not implied. This one is kraft paper with a PLA lining — a plant-based barrier instead of PE — so the cup can sit in a commercial compost stream rather than a landfill, and it is built in five volumes from 8oz to 32oz on two rim diameters: 96mm for 8, 12 and 16oz, 115mm for 26 and 32oz. Case packing is 25pcs per sleeve, 20 sleeves to a case, and the whole range is certified ISO9001 / BRC / FSC / LFGB. Custom print in flexo or offset, custom logo and packing, Shanghai or Nanjing port.

Buying a compostable soup cup is mostly a question of which barrier you are paying for. A PE-lined cup is the cheapest way to hold hot soup, but it cannot go into a compost stream and it is the first thing a European or North American buyer asks you to remove. A PLA-lined cup keeps the same kraft body and swaps the film for a plant-based one, which is what makes the pack claimable — provided the body itself is unbleached kraft and the ink and lid are chosen to match. That is the specification this cup is built to: PLA lining on kraft, five volumes, one family of dimensions.

Kraft soup cup with PLA lining, 8oz to 32oz
The five volumes run 8oz, 12oz, 16oz, 26oz and 32oz, at 96 × 77 × 60mm, 96 × 77 × 70mm, 96 × 77 × 95mm, 115 × 90 × 113mm and 115 × 90 × 134mm. The first three share the 96mm rim and the last two the 115mm rim, so a menu that lists three soup sizes needs two lid diameters, and a switch from a 26oz to a 32oz changes only the cup — not the lid, not the shelf position, not the carton footprint class.
Packing is the part buyers under-check on compostable lines, because PLA-lined stock is more sensitive to compression than PE. Cups are sleeved 25pcs at a time, 20 sleeves to a case, so a case is 500pcs and the inner sleeve doubles as the handling unit — staff pull a sleeve rather than opening a loose case, which keeps the rim stack from being crushed between services. Customized packing is available where a customer wants a different sleeve count.

25pcs per sleeve, 20 sleeves per case
Material is food-grade kraft paper carrying the statement that the raw material is 100% natural and degrades without pollution; the PLA lining supplies the liquid and grease barrier on top of that. Print is flexo or offset with embossing or glossy lamination as the finishing options, and logo, packing and capacity are all customizable — this is the version of the range that gets printed for a chain rather than sold plain. Certification covers ISO9001, BRC, FSC and LFGB, which is the combination a European food-service buyer normally asks to see before listing.
Application is restaurant, coffee shop and airline service. The factory runs the full chain in house — paperboard, lamination, printing, die cutting and forming — which is why the lining can be specified rather than bought in, and why a PLA run can be scheduled without waiting on a third-party converter. Shipping is from Shanghai or Nanjing.

PLA lining, not PE — a plant-based barrier on kraft board, so the cup can be positioned for a commercial compost stream.
Five volumes, two rims — 96mm rim for 8 / 12 / 16oz, 115mm for 26 / 32oz; three soup sizes need only two lids.
25pcs sleeve, 20 sleeves per case — 500pcs a case, with the sleeve as the handling unit so rims stay uncrushed.
ISO9001 / BRC / FSC / LFGB — the four certificates a European food-service listing usually asks for.
In-house lamination to forming — board, lining, print, die cut and forming under one roof, so a PLA run is scheduled internally.
