One cup. The closure is built in.
Most takeaway cups are two products: a cup and a lid that has to be ordered, stocked and matched to the rim. The Ekoroll lid-free paper cup is one cup with an integrated closing system. The top of the cup is formed into numbered flaps; after filling, the flaps are folded in sequence and the cup is closed.
How it works
- Fill the cup as usual.
- Fold the numbered flaps in order.
- Serve: the hot cup has a sipping opening, the cold cup a ready straw opening.
The two cups
- Lid-free hot paper cup: coffee, tea and hot drinks, with a sipping opening.
- Lid-free cold paper cup: iced coffee, juices and smoothies, with a straw opening.
Why operators switch
- No lid inventory and no size mismatches between cups and lids.
- One continuous print surface for the brand.
- Fewer components at busy service points: cafés, onboard service, events and hotels.
Coating, documentation and inspection
The cup uses a water-based (aqueous) barrier coating, PE-free and PFAS-free; other coatings are available on request. Compostability certification is available for the cup material and is shared with the specification. Shipments can be checked by independent pre-shipment inspection (SGS/BV).
For conventional cups with separate lids, see our paper cups.
