Disposable PP Cup Lid Manufacturers

Hubei Kipoer Plastic Packaging Co., Ltd. has manufactured food-grade PET and PP packaging since 2015, running our own sheet extrusion, mould making and thermoforming plant in Xiaogan, Hubei Province, China. Our Disposable PP Cup Lid Manufacturers range covers flip-top beverage lids moulded in polypropylene and matched to the PP cup series by rim diameter, opening style and venting. We supply beverage chains, food service distributors, cafeteria operators and OEM packaging customers who need a lid that stays seated through takeaway handling, cup stacking and delivery transport.

Lids are produced on dedicated cup lid equipment inside the same plant that extrudes our PP sheet, so a lid programme and its matching cup can be developed, sampled and scaled together instead of being sourced from separate vendors.

Our Disposable PP Cup Lid Range

The range is organised around cup rim diameter and drink opening style. Each lid is engineered as a matched component to a specific cup mouth, so snap fit, opening force and venting behaviour are set by the cup it pairs with rather than by a generic diameter.

• XGL-90 White PP Flip-Top Ventilation Beverage Cup Lid — white polypropylene, flip-top drink opening with ventilation for hot beverage service.
• XGL-89 Black PP Horseshoe-Style Flip-Top Beverage Cup Lid — black polypropylene, horseshoe-style drink opening for cold and iced drinks.
• Custom moulded PP lids — rim diameter, opening geometry, colour and surface treatment developed from a cup sample or dimensional drawing.
• Matching cup and lid families — Disposable PET Cup and Disposable PET Cup Lid options for programmes that combine PP and PET components.

Lid Formats and Where Each One Fits

PP Material Behaviour in Hot, Ambient and Cold Service

Polypropylene gives the lid toughness and impact resistance without the brittleness of some rigid materials, and it holds structural strength at both low and normal temperatures. That combination lets one lid design serve hot, room-temperature and cold drinks across takeaway, delivery and cafeteria use.

• Impact resistance — resists cracking when lids are nested, dropped or handled in bulk.
• Temperature stability — retains shape and snap fit in hot drink service and in chilled or iced service.
• Odour control — finished lids are checked for odour as part of our release sampling.
• Colour options — white, black and colour-matched production for branded programmes.

Sealing, Fit and Leak Control

The sealing snap between lid and cup mouth is the critical interface. We size rim engagement so the lid needs a defined opening force after closing, which keeps it seated when a cup is shaken, squeezed or stacked in a delivery bag.

• Snap-fit rim engagement sized to the actual cup mouth, not to a nominal diameter.
• Opening force tuned so staff and customers can open the lid without it releasing in transit.
• Ventilation on hot-drink lids to relieve internal pressure and reduce splash at the drink opening.
• Stacking stability for cups carried in trays, cup carriers and delivery bags.

Configuration Options and Custom Mould Development

Customisation is our core business. Our R&D team develops moulds from physical cup samples, product drawings and size requirements, and we adjust appearance, thickness, colour matching, anti-fog, anti-static and laminating processes where the application calls for them.

• Rim diameter and tolerance taken from the cup drawing or a measured sample.
• Opening geometry — flip-top, horseshoe, straw slot or plain.
• Venting — none, single vent or multi-vent for hot service.
• Colour — white, black or matched to a supplied brand reference.
• Surface treatment — anti-fog, anti-static or laminated finishes.
• Packing format confirmed per order for manual handling or automated denesting.

Quality Control and Acceptance Testing

Hygiene and quality management run through the whole process. Raw material is checked against food-contact requirements before it enters the warehouse, production runs in a Class 100,000 dust-free workshop, and each process step is inspected online.

• Incoming material verification against food-contact requirements.
• In-line inspection at each forming and finishing stage.
• Finished-product sampling for dimensions, sealing, temperature resistance and odour.
• In-house laboratory with temperature resistance chambers, sealing testers and thickness testers.
• Third-party food-contact test reports issued for the supplied material and product.

Information We Use to Configure Your Solution

A lid is only correct when it fits the cup it is used with. We prepare a configuration and quotation from the following inputs.

• Cup rim outer diameter and rim profile, or a physical cup sample.
• Cup material and wall thickness, whether PP, PET or another food-contact polymer.
• Drink type and service temperature — hot, ambient, iced or a mix across the menu.
• Required opening style: flip-top, horseshoe, straw slot or plain.
• Ventilation requirement for hot beverages.
• Colour and any brand colour reference.
• Annual volume, peak-season volume and trial order quantity.
• Packing and denesting method at the filling or counter line.
• Destination market and the food-contact documentation required for it.

Production Capacity, Packing and Repeat Supply

Our plant runs 16 fully automatic high-speed vacuum forming lines with in-house mould processing and a Class 100,000 food dust-free workshop, and annual food vacuum forming capacity exceeds 30,000 tons. That capacity covers small trial batches and long-term high-volume programmes, with headroom for peak-season scheduling.

• 400+ employees, including packaging structure R&D engineers and mould making and quality control technicians.
• 50,000 m² total workshop area across the Xiaogan production base.
• Products supplied to more than 30 countries and regions.
• Business-day enquiries answered with a quotation and solution response within 12 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cup does the XGL-90 lid fit?

The XGL-90 is designed for the 90-series PP cup rim. We confirm the rim outer diameter and profile against your cup sample or drawing before releasing stock or cutting a mould, so the snap fit and opening force match the cup you actually fill.

Can you produce a PP lid to match a cup we already use?

Yes. Send a physical cup sample or a dimensional drawing and our R&D team develops the mould accordingly, including rim diameter, opening geometry, venting, colour matching and surface treatment. We can also produce a sample lid for fit and opening-force checks before full production.

Are PP lids suitable for hot drinks as well as iced drinks?

Polypropylene keeps its structural strength at low and normal temperatures and resists brittleness, so the same material family serves hot, room-temperature and cold beverages. For hot service we recommend the ventilated flip-top format, which relieves pressure inside the cup and reduces splash at the drink opening.

Do you accept trial quantities before a long-term order?

We run small-batch trial orders alongside large long-term programmes on the same lines. Trial quantities let you verify fit, opening force and packing format on your own filling or counter setup before committing to scheduled volumes.

How is lid quality verified before shipment?

Raw material is checked against food-contact requirements on arrival, production runs in a Class 100,000 dust-free workshop with in-line inspection at each stage, and finished lids are sampled for dimensions, sealing, temperature resistance and odour. Our laboratory uses temperature resistance chambers, sealing testers and thickness testers, and third-party food-contact test reports are issued for the supplied product.

Can you supply the cup and the lid together?

Yes. Alongside PP cup lids we produce the wider cups and lids family, including Disposable PET Bowl Lid formats, so a beverage programme can be configured with matched cup and lid components from one production base.
