Product Description
These Vegware domed cold cup lids are designed to fit the 96-series range of Vegware compostable cold cups in both 12oz and 16oz sizes. The raised dome profile provides clearance for whipped cream, soft-serve toppings, and layered cold drinks, allowing cups to be lidded and handed out without disturbing the presentation.
Made from PLA — a plant-based plastic derived from renewable crop starch — these lids are commercially compostable and will break down within 12 weeks when sent to an appropriate composting facility. For operators already running a compostable packaging programme, they integrate straightforwardly into an existing waste stream.
In practical front-of-house use, the lids work well on iced coffees, cold brew, blended drinks, and any cup requiring headroom above the rim. The domed format is a common choice in café and quick-service settings where drinks are built with cream or decorative toppings and need to travel safely to the customer.
- Reduces packaging waste for operators committed to composting schemes
- Dome clearance protects toppings during handover and takeaway
- Compatible with Vegware's 96-series compostable cold cups (sold separately)
- Lightweight PLA construction keeps pack weight low for storage and handling
- Pack of 1000 suits medium to high-volume service without frequent reordering
Worth noting: commercial composting facilities are required to break these down within the stated timeframe — standard kerbside food waste collections are not always suitable. Operators should confirm their waste contractor accepts PLA before switching from conventional plastic lids.
These lids suit cafés, coffee shops, quick-service restaurants, and event catering operations looking to move away from oil-based plastics without changing their existing cold cup format. If your service volume is particularly high or you use a different cup series, it is worth checking compatibility before ordering in bulk.
If you have questions about fitting these into a broader compostable packaging setup, our team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No — PLA has a relatively low heat tolerance and these lids are designed for cold drinks only. Using them on hot beverages is likely to cause deformation. For hot cups, Vegware offer separate compostable hot cup lids made from more heat-resistant materials.
- These lids require a commercial composting facility to break down within the stated 12-week timeframe. Standard kerbside food waste collections and home compost bins are generally not suitable for PLA. We'd recommend confirming with your waste contractor that they accept PLA packaging before committing to a full rollout.
- These lids are designed specifically for Vegware's 96-series cold cups in 12oz and 16oz sizes. If you are currently using a different cup brand or a different Vegware series, the fit may not be correct. It is worth checking the cup series before ordering a full case, and our team can help confirm compatibility if you are unsure.
