16oz PLA Cups
16oz PLA Cups in this range include 500ml, 520ml and 600ml formats with 90mm, 95mm, 98mm and 117mm rims. Buyers can compare a 90mm standard and U-shaped pair, separate 95mm and 98mm formats, and a 117mm wide-low option rather than treating 16oz as one fixed cup specification. For PLA projects, confirm the selected dimensions together with any finished-product documentation or market requirements relevant to the intended application.

500 / 520 / 600 ml options in one capacity group
The 500ml options illustrate why nominal capacity alone is not enough to select a 16oz PLA cup. The 90mm standard version measures 135mm high with a 56mm bottom diameter, while the 90mm U-shaped version is 125mm high with a 45mm bottom diameter. A separate 98mm 500ml option measures 118mm high with a 61mm bottom diameter. Buyers comparing these cups should therefore review rim, height, bottom diameter and profile together.
The range also includes a 520ml / 95mm standard cup and a distinctly different 600ml / 117mm wide-low format. The 117mm option measures 75mm high with a 96mm bottom diameter, so it should be evaluated separately from the taller 90–98mm formats. For PLA sourcing, dimensional selection should remain separate from environmental or disposal claims, which require documentation applicable to the specific finished product.
PLA material considerations
PLA is polylactic acid and is commonly produced from renewable feedstocks, but material origin alone does not establish how a finished cup should be described or disposed of. For a 16oz PLA project, first identify the required cup dimensions and profile, then confirm any environmental label, disposal statement or target-market documentation against the specific finished product.

COMPARE CUP FORMATS
16oz PLA: shape and rim choices
The oz group is a starting point. Compare actual ml, rim, base and height before choosing a cup.
Standard
Compare the listed height and base diameter for the intended serving and packaging format.
U-Shape
Review the alternative base and body dimensions alongside the standard option in the same capacity group.
Wide format
Review the 117 mm opening and the listed dimensions. A shared wide rim does not mean every cup has the same volume or height.
Read the measurements together
- Nominal oz / listed ml
- Variants in one oz group may have different listed ml capacities. Use the individual record for your brief.
- Rim and closure
- Select a cup first. Confirm the lid style and physical fit against that cup; diameter alone is not a compatibility guarantee.
- Height and base
- Compare the footprint and profile against your presentation and packaging requirements. A dash means the measurement is not listed.
- Branding and order
- Include artwork needs, quantity and destination when known. Commercial terms and product documents need project-specific confirmation.
LID OPTIONS
Review lid families by selected rim.
Lid options can be discussed by rim family. The final cup-and-lid match should be confirmed against the exact variant, rather than assumed from nominal capacity alone.
90 mm
Buyers should confirm the final cup-and-lid combination against the exact selected PLA cup variant and project requirements.
95 mm
Buyers should confirm the final cup-and-lid combination against the exact selected PLA cup variant and project requirements.
98 mm
Buyers should confirm the final cup-and-lid combination against the exact selected PLA cup variant and project requirements.
117 mm
Buyers should confirm the final cup-and-lid combination against the exact selected PLA cup variant and project requirements.

16oz formats in a beverage program
Cold beverage chains
For multi-format cold beverage programs, the 16oz PLA range provides several dimensional choices under the same nominal size. Compare the 90mm, 95mm and 98mm taller formats with the 117mm wide-low option according to the required presentation and service format, then confirm the selected finished-product documentation for the project.
Iced coffee service
For iced coffee projects, compare the 500ml 90mm standard and U-shaped cups by their different height and bottom diameter, or review the 520ml / 95mm and 500ml / 98mm formats when a different rim and cup proportion is required. Use the exact variant dimensions when reviewing the project rather than relying on the 16oz label alone.
Milk tea presentation
For milk tea presentation, the listed 500ml formats provide different rim and body proportions: 90mm standard, 90mm U-shaped and 98mm standard. The 600ml / 117mm wide-low option is a separate format and should be reviewed independently when a broader, lower cup profile is being considered.
PRODUCTION & QUALITY REQUIREMENTS
A clear specification for the next conversation.
Product confirmation
Identify PLA, nominal size and the selected variant. Keep its listed measurements attached to the enquiry.
Cup and lid review
Confirm the rim and proposed closure together. Record any sample-fit requirements before an order is agreed.
Artwork and documentation
State the branding brief and destination-market documentation needed for the exact product. Do not assume a document covers every cup.
Order details
Request confirmation of quantity, packing and timing for the selected project. Retain the agreed specification for future enquiries.
FAQ
16oz PLA Cups: buyer questions
Why are 500ml, 520ml and 600ml cups all listed in the 16oz PLA range?
The 16oz page groups commercially related PLA cup formats rather than defining 16oz as one exact milliliter specification. The listed variants range from 500ml to 600ml and differ in rim diameter, height, bottom diameter and profile. Use the individual variant specifications when selecting a cup for a project.
How do the two 90mm 500ml PLA cup profiles differ?
The 90mm standard 500ml cup is 135mm high with a 56mm bottom diameter, while the 90mm U-shaped 500ml cup is 125mm high with a 45mm bottom diameter. They share the same listed capacity and top diameter but use different body proportions, so the exact profile should be reviewed during selection.
How do the 95mm 520ml and 98mm 500ml PLA options compare?
The 95mm standard option is listed at 520ml, 127mm high and 55mm bottom diameter. The 98mm standard option is listed at 500ml, 118mm high and 61mm bottom diameter. Buyers can compare the required capacity, rim, height and base dimensions rather than treating them as the same 16oz format.
What makes the 117mm 600ml PLA cup a separate format?
The 117mm option is a 600ml wide-low profile measuring 75mm high with a 96mm bottom diameter. The other listed 16oz PLA cups use 90mm, 95mm or 98mm rims and taller profiles, so the 117mm format should be evaluated separately for the intended project.
What should I provide when discussing a 16oz PLA cup project?
Provide the required capacity, rim size or preferred profile, intended cold beverage application and any finished-product documentation or target-market requirements that need to be reviewed. This helps identify the relevant cup variant without assuming that a material label alone establishes environmental, disposal or compliance claims.
