Why Smoothie Cups Differ from Standard Cups
Smoothies, slushies and blended fruit drinks are thicker and often layered, so they present best in a tall, crystal-clear cup that shows the color and texture. A dome lid adds headroom for whipped cream, fruit or granola toppings. Because blended drinks are served cold, clear PET is the natural fit — the same material used for iced tea and fruit tea. This lets you standardize one cup family across your cold menu.

Match Your Smoothie Cups to the Rest of Your Menu
If you already run a bubble tea or iced coffee menu, you can keep the same 95mm caliber for most smoothie sizes so a single lid and sealing film covers everything.
