Small Size Yard Cup – Compact, Food-Grade for Personal Use

Our Small Size Yard Cup is a compact, versatile variation of the classic large-capacity yard cup, designed to cater to scenarios where a smaller serving size is preferred—such as intimate gatherings, personal use at home, or venues with limited space (e.g., small bars or café patios). Crafted from food-grade PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or PP (polypropylene), this cup holds 600ml to 800ml of liquid—half the size of standard yard cups (1.2L-1.8L)—while retaining the iconic tall, cylindrical shape that defines yard cup aesthetics. The material selection ensures the cup is lightweight (15-20g for 600ml size), impact-resistant (unbreakable if dropped from table height), and safe for serving beer, wine coolers, soft drinks, or iced coffee—free from BPA and other harmful chemicals. The design of the Small Size Yard Cup prioritizes portability and usability. It features a slim profile (22-25cm height) that fits easily in small hands, backpack side pockets, or compact cup holders (e.g., in small cars or office desks). The wide mouth (85mm diameter) allows for easy pouring and adding ice or small garnishes (like lemon wedges), while the reinforced base (65mm diameter) prevents tipping—even on narrow surfaces (e.g., café side tables or picnic blankets). The cup’s exterior is smooth, with a subtle 3° taper that enhances grip, and it is compatible with our small-sized leak-proof PP lids—making it suitable for takeaway service from small cafes or convenience stores. For reusable versions, the cup is dishwasher-safe (top-rack recommended) and resistant to staining from dark beverages (e.g., coffee or cola). This cup excels in diverse niche scenarios. For example, a chain of small cafes in urban areas (with limited counter space) adopted our Small Size Yard Cup for serving iced coffee and iced tea. The cup’s tall, sleek design added a “premium” feel to the café’s beverage offerings, and customers appreciated the smaller serving size (which reduced waste for those who preferred not to finish a large drink). Within three months, the cafes reported a 20% increase in iced beverage sales. Another case involves a catering company that specializes in intimate weddings and private parties (50 guests or fewer); the company uses our Small Size Yard Cup for serving signature cocktails, as the smaller size reduces beverage costs per guest while maintaining the “festive” look of yard cups. Clients praised the cup’s design, noting it added a “fun, casual” vibe to their events without the bulk of full-sized yard cups. The Small Size Yard Cup also meets the needs of individual users. For instance, a home goods retailer in Europe added the cup to its “Home Bar” collection; the cup is sold in sets of four (printed with subtle patterns like stripes or polka dots) and marketed for personal use at home or small gatherings. The sets became a bestseller, with customers citing the cup’s “space-saving” design and “versatility” (suitable for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks) as key selling points. Additionally, the cup is popular among outdoor enthusiasts—campers and hikers appreciate its lightweight design (easy to pack) and unbreakable nature (safe for rough outdoor use). Customization options align with the cup’s compact size. We offer IML (In-Mold Labeling) or screen printing for logos, small graphics, or text—ideal for small businesses (e.g., café logos) or event organizers (e.g., “Birthday Party 2024”). The printing area is smaller than full-sized yard cups, so we recommend simplified designs (e.g., small logos or single-line text) to ensure clarity. We also provide color matching (Pantone codes accepted) for the cup and ink, and can create transparent or colored variants—transparent cups are popular for showcasing layered drinks (e.g., iced coffee with cream), while colored cups (e.g., mint green or blush pink) appeal to customers seeking a “decorative” option. For eco-conscious clients, we offer a Small Size Yard Cup made from PLA (corn-starch) or recycled PET (rPET). The PLA version is biodegradable under industrial composting conditions, while the rPET version uses 30% less energy to produce than virgin PET. Both variants retain the cup’s key features (lightweight, impact-resistant) and are compatible with food-safe printing inks. We offer the Small Size Yard Cup in 600ml and 800ml sizes, with minimum order quantities starting at 300 units for custom designs. The cup is available in disposable and reusable variants—disposable versions are stackable (up to 80 cups per stack) for easy storage, while reusable versions can withstand up to 300 uses with proper care. To discuss pricing, customization, or to request a sample (to test size and usability), please contact us. Our team can also provide recommendations on how to market the cup—e.g., as a “space-saving” or “personal-sized” alternative to full-sized yard cups.
