Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these lids truly biodegradable?

Yes, these lids are made from bagasse pulp, which is a natural byproduct of sugarcane processing. This makes them biodegradable and compostable under the right conditions.

What size cups do these lids fit?

These lids are specifically designed to fit standard 12oz paper coffee cups, typically those with a 90mm rim diameter.

Can I use these lids for cold drinks?

Yes, while designed for hot beverages, they can also be used for cold drinks. Their primary function is to cover the cup and provide a sipping mechanism.

How many lids are in a pack?

This specific product is supplied in a bulk pack containing 1000 lids.

What is bagasse?

Bagasse is the fibrous residue left after sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract their juice. It's a sustainable material often used for eco-friendly disposable products.

Do these lids have a strong smell?

As they are made from natural materials, there might be a very subtle, natural scent. However, they are not treated with artificial fragrances and are generally odor-neutral.

Where should I dispose of these lids for composting?

For optimal environmental benefit, these lids should be disposed of in industrial or commercial composting facilities, as home composting conditions may not be sufficient for complete breakdown.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not fit securely on the cup.

Ensure you are using a standard 12oz paper coffee cup with a compatible rim diameter (typically 90mm). Check for any debris on the cup rim. If the issue persists, try a different cup from your supply as manufacturing tolerances can vary.

Spills or leaks from the lid.

Confirm the lid is pressed down firmly and evenly around the entire rim of the cup. Ensure the sip-through opening is fully closed or that the customer is not overfilling the cup.

Lid appears weak or is difficult to handle when hot.

While designed to be heat-resistant, extremely hot beverages for prolonged periods may increase surface temperature. Ensure proper handling techniques are used. If the lid feels excessively warm, it may indicate a very high beverage temperature.

Compatibility: These lids are specifically designed to fit standard 12oz paper coffee cups with a 90mm rim diameter.
