A cold cup without a dome lid
The Ekoroll lid-free cold cup is one cup with an integrated closing system. After filling, the numbered flaps are folded in sequence and the closed cup has a ready straw opening. There is no separate dome lid to order, stock or match.
Built for cold drink service
- Iced coffee and cold brew: closed, with a straw, in one cup.
- Juices and smoothies: a clean, branded cup without a plastic dome.
- Events and pool bars: fewer components to manage at busy service points.
Coating and print
The cup uses a water-based (aqueous) barrier coating, PE-free and PFAS-free. Other coatings are available on request. The cup with water-based coating carries DIN CERTCO home compostable and industrially compostable (EN 13432) certification, held by the producing partner; copies are available on request. The water-based coated paperboard passed PPWR (EU) 2025/40 tests for PFAS, total fluorine and heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium); the SGS and Eurofins reports are available on request. The recommended fill temperature is up to 90 °C, and the cups have a shelf life of 12 months. Cups are supplied in white or kraft paper, with full-wrap CMYK printing or flexo with metallic gold and silver. Pair it with our paper straws.
For hot drinks
The lid-free hot cup uses the same system with a sipping opening. See the complete lid-free paper cup system.
