Jiangsu Liangwang Technology Co., Ltd., one of the region's established Disposable PET Plastic Cup Suppliers, manufactures food-grade packaging at our Zhangjiagang production base, and the Disposable PET Plastic Cup line is built around cold-beverage clarity and wall rigidity. We supply 8oz, 12oz, 16oz, 20oz and 24oz cold cups for beverage chains, co-packers, retail pre-fill lines and foodservice distributors.
PET gives glass-like transparency without glass weight or breakage risk, and the cups hold their shape through condensation, chilled display and distribution. Our range sits inside the wider Disposable Plastic Cup family, alongside PP and PLA options, so a single project can be matched to the right material rather than forced into one resin.
What We Manufacture in PET
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is the benchmark resin for cold beverage presentation. It resists deformation under condensation, keeps a clean optical finish and carries recycling code 1 on the base for standard curbside programs in North American and European markets.
- Standard cold cup range: 8oz, 12oz, 16oz, 20oz and 24oz — covering short espresso over ice through large-format specialty drinks.
- Custom printed cups: up to 8 colors by silk-screen or in-mold labeling (IML) for brand-led programs.
- Food-contact compliance: BRC and FDA food-contact certification in place across PET SKUs.
- Format fit: pre-filled retail products, on-premise cold drinks, iced coffee, smoothies, bubble tea and dessert cups.
PET Within Our Material Range
Material choice drives temperature limits, clarity, recyclability and cost. We produce PET, PP and PLA cup lines on the same quality system, so switching resin does not mean switching supplier or restarting qualification.

Configuration Options We Build Into PET Cups
Every PET program is configured around the drink, the filling method and the closure system. We confirm the working point before tooling or sampling begins.
- Rim and lid interface: flat or rolled rim matched to flat, dome or straw-slot lids.
- Wall and base design: straight-wall or tapered body, with base geometry tuned for stacking and denesting on filling lines.
- Print and finish: silk-screen or IML decoration, matte, high-gloss or pearlescent surface effects.
- Brand identity: embedded logo printing, embossing and in-mold labeling for integrated presentation.
- Custom shapes: non-standard body forms for retail differentiation, developed through mold manufacturing and sample testing.
Manufacturing and Quality Control
Our PET cups are produced in an ODM/OEM Factory running a Class 100,000 GMP purification workshop with an on-site laboratory, using German ILLIG thermoforming equipment and flip-mold cup machines. Planned annual production capacity reaches 20,000 tons across the packaging range.
Management systems include ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001, ISO22000 and BRC Grade A, with FDA food-contact certification for PET SKUs. Incoming resin, in-process forming and finished-cup inspection are handled under the same system, and we retain samples for reference against the approved standard.
ODM/OEM and Custom Development
Our R&D team runs ODM and OEM projects from concept to mass production. The customization process follows six stages: needs communication, solution concept, mold manufacturing, sample testing, mass production, and quality control and shipping.
For PET cold cups this typically means confirming capacity, rim type, lid pairing, print artwork and packing format, then producing samples for approval before the production run. Composite recommendations — material combinations and structural designs matched to the product — are part of the same development step.
Information We Use to Configure Your Solution
To prepare an accurate configuration and quotation, we work from the following project inputs. Where a detail is still open, we propose a starting specification and refine it during sampling.

PET cups ship as part of our broader food packaging output, which also covers Eco-friendly Food Container lines and fresh produce trays, so mixed programs can be consolidated. Products are exported to markets including the United States, Japan and Canada.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which sizes of disposable PET plastic cups do you manufacture?
We produce 8oz, 12oz, 16oz, 20oz and 24oz PET cold cups as standard. Custom capacities can be developed through mold manufacturing when a program needs a non-standard volume.
Can PET cups be printed with our brand artwork?
Yes. Custom printing is available in up to 8 colors using silk-screen or in-mold labeling, and we also support embossing and embedded logo printing for integrated brand presentation.
Are your PET cups suitable for hot drinks?
PET is specified for cold beverages and chilled display. For hot tea, soup or microwave applications we recommend our PP cup range, which is produced on the same quality system.
What certifications apply to your PET cups?
PET SKUs carry BRC and FDA food-contact certification. Company management systems include ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001, ISO22000 and BRC Grade A.
What is your minimum order quantity and lead time?
MOQ is 5,000 pcs. Delivery is generally 15–30 days after order confirmation, with small batch orders completed within half a month.
Can you develop a custom PET cup shape for a retail program?
Yes. Our ODM/OEM process covers needs communication, solution concept, mold manufacturing, sample testing, mass production, and quality control and shipping, so unique body forms can be developed and approved before production.
