Product Description
These Colpac kraft paper soup cups are a practical choice for operations serving hot soups, stews, broths, or hot drinks in a takeaway or food-to-go format. Made from paper with a kraft finish, they are suitable for microwave use, which allows staff to heat portions directly in the cup where workflows require it — useful in grab-and-go counters, deli-style service, or hospitality settings where speed matters.
The 450ml capacity is a reliable working size for a standard soup portion, sitting comfortably between a taster and a large serving. The paper construction keeps the cup manageable to handle even when filled with hot liquid, though operators should note these are single-use items and not designed for extended heat retention without a lid.
- Microwavable for direct reheating in service
- Recyclable kraft paper construction supports waste reduction targets
- 450ml capacity suits standard soup and stew portions
- Pack of 500 provides good stock depth for busy periods
- Consistent sizing simplifies lid compatibility and portion control
From a practical standpoint, these cups work well in operations with a defined soup menu — cafés, contract catering, staff restaurants, delis, and events catering among them. A pack of 500 gives reasonable volume without the storage burden of a full pallet, making them sensible for mid-sized operations. For very high-volume sites running multiple soup lines daily, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format would reduce reordering frequency.
If you are unsure whether this size and format suits your service style, or you need guidance on compatible lids and accessories, the team is happy to help you work it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The cups can be used without a lid, but for takeaway service a compatible lid is strongly recommended to retain heat and prevent spillage. These cups are not designed for extended heat retention on their own, so for dine-in or counter service where the customer will consume immediately, they work well unlidded.
- The 450ml size is well suited to a standard soup portion and handles microwave reheating reliably, making them practical for grab-and-go counters and deli-style service. For very high-volume soup operations running continuous throughput, it is worth reviewing whether your storage and reorder cycle suits a pack of 500 or whether a larger format would be more efficient.
- These cups are made from kraft paper, which is accepted in paper recycling streams in many UK local authority collections and commercial waste contracts. In practice, recyclability depends on your local waste provider and whether cups are heavily contaminated with food residue, so it is worth confirming with your waste contractor how these should be handled on your site.
