Why Strawless Lids Matter Now
Plastic-reduction rules in the EU and parts of the US increasingly restrict single-use straws. A sipper or half-open lid lets customers drink directly from the cup, removing the straw from the service entirely. The listed lid range includes a sip/strawless option so brands can adapt without changing their whole cup program.
Strawless-Friendly Lid Options
The table below uses the lid type, fit caliber, material and weight fields from the lids and sealing films category.
| Lid Type | Fits Caliber | Material | Weight | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sip / strawless lid | 90 mm | PET | 3.2 g | Strawless service |
| Dome / half-round | 90-98 mm | PET | 3.5 g | Whipped-cream, desserts |
| Flat lid | 90-98 mm | PET | 2.2 g | Iced coffee, takeaway |
Match the Sipper Lid to a 90mm Cup
The listed sip/strawless lid is a 90mm PET lid at 3.2 g. To adopt strawless service, align your cup program with the 90mm caliber for the drinks where you want to remove straws. Confirm the exact cup model and lid fit, since a lid must match the cup rim diameter precisely.
A Phased Move to Strawless
Many brands adopt strawless service gradually, starting with drinks that do not need a straw for toppings. Keep flat and dome lids for drinks that still require a straw or topping clearance, and introduce the sipper lid where it improves the experience. This keeps the change practical while meeting plastic-reduction expectations.
