Pakmax 16oz Single Layer Cold Paper Cup SLCPC-90-16G

The PakMax SLCPC-90-16G is a 16 oz (473 mL) single-layer cold paper cup supplied in cartons of 1,000, made from 320 gsm FSC certified paper with a 20 gsm polyethylene lining. It has a 90 mm rim taking a 90MM lid, a 60 mm base, stands 135 mm tall, and comes in an ombre green finish. Note the rim size carefully — the 16 oz PET cup in the same range has a 98 mm rim and takes a different lid.

Why operators choose the SLCPC-90-16G

• 90 mm rim - takes a 90MM lid, not a 98MM one — this is the detail that causes real problems. PakMax lists two different 16 oz cups: this one at 90 mm and the PET CC-98-16C at 98 mm. Same volume, incompatible lids. Order the lid to match the cup, not the ounces
• 320 gsm paper with a 20 gsm PE lining — the two numbers that define the cup. 320 gsm is heavy paper stock, which is where the rigidity comes from; the 20 gsm polyethylene lining is what stops condensation from an iced drink softening it
• 1,000 cups per carton — recorded explicitly, so cost per serve is calculable
• FSC certified paper — certified as sourced from responsibly managed forests - a meaningful claim on a paper product
• Built for cold, not adapted from a hot cup — single layer with no insulating wall. It is engineered to resist condensation rather than to hold heat, which is the right build for iced drinks and the wrong one for coffee
• Rated -20 to +90 degrees C — that is the material's tolerance range. It does not make this a hot cup - a single-layer cup with a hot drink in it is uncomfortable to hold
• Ombre green finish — a printed decorative finish rather than plain white, which suits venues that would otherwise pay for custom printing
• 135 mm tall, 60 mm base — check the height against your cup dispensers and the base against your drink carriers

Specifications

Venue suitability

This cup suits cafes, juice bars, takeaway venues and event caterers serving iced coffee, smoothies, milkshakes and soft drinks. Match the 90 mm rim to your lid stock before ordering — that is the single most common mistake on cold cups, and PakMax sells a 16 oz cup in each rim size.

Installation & delivery

The dimensions recorded against this product are the CARTON, not the item. We can state that with certainty here because the source lists the carton size explicitly and it matches the dimensions field exactly. The carton is 450 x 430 x 620 mm and holds 1,000 cups; the cup itself is 90 mm at the rim, 60 mm at the base and 135 mm tall. Store dry — paper cups take up moisture from a damp store room and lose rigidity before they are ever used. If you are changing over from another cup, check the 90 mm rim against your existing lids and the 135 mm height against your dispensers.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Which lid fits this cup?

A 90MM LID. Do not order 98 mm lids for it. PakMax lists two 16 oz cold cups - this paper cup at 90 mm and the PET CC-98-16C at 98 mm - so ordering by capacity alone will get you a lid that does not fit. Order the lid against the rim diameter every time.

Q: How is it different from the 22 oz version?

Volume and height. The SLCPC-90-22G holds 22 oz; this one holds 16 oz (473 mL) and stands 135 mm tall. Both use the same 90 mm rim and the same 90MM lid, so one lid covers both sizes in this paper range.

Q: Can I use it for hot drinks?

It is not designed for them. The recorded temperature range of -20 to +90 degrees C is the material's tolerance, not a recommendation - this is a single-layer cup with no insulating wall, so a hot drink in it will be uncomfortable to hold. Use a double-wall or ripple cup for hot beverages.

Q: What do the gsm figures mean?

320 gsm is the weight of the paper stock, and it is what gives the cup its rigidity - a lighter cup flexes when you pick it up full. The 20 gsm polyethylene lining is the moisture barrier that stops condensation from an iced drink soaking into the paper. Together they are the specification that separates a cup that survives a service from one that does not.

Q: How many are in a carton?

1,000. Recorded explicitly in our product data.

Q: What warranty does the SLCPC-90-16G come with?

Our records do not carry a specific warranty term for this item. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
