Before 3D design starts, clarify:
Requirement | Example Values |
---|---|
Cup mouth diameter | 90mm, 95mm, or custom size |
Lid type | Flat, dome, sip lid, straw slot, snap-fit |
Material type | PP, PET, PE, PS, PLA (plastic) or silicone |

💡 Tip: If it’s silicone, allow flexible tolerance and sealing thickness.
🖊️ Step 2: Make a 2D Sketch or Concept Drawing of the Cup Cover Plastic Lids
You can sketch manually or use vector tools like:
-
Adobe Illustrator
-
CorelDRAW
-
Figma (for basic concepts)
Include:
-
Top view: Outer diameter, inner ring size
-
Side view: Height, thickness, lip shape
-
Detail: Where the logo goes, tab style, holes for straws, etc.
🧑🎨 Step 3: Build the 3D Model of Cup Cover Plastic Lids
Use professional 3D modeling software:
Software | Best For | File Output |
---|---|---|
SolidWorks | Industrial-grade plastic tooling | .STEP , .IGS , .SLDPRT |
Autodesk Fusion 360 | Flexible + cloud-based | .STL , .STEP |

FAQs–Custom Plastic Cup Covers
1. What plastic materials are commonly used to make custom cup covers?
The most commonly used custom cup cover plastic materials are:
-
PP (Polypropylene) – Heat-resistant and food-safe, ideal for hot beverage cup cover plastic lids.
-
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) – Clear and rigid, often used for dome lids for cold drinks.
-
PS (Polystyrene) – Lightweight and economical, mostly for cold drinks in budget settings.
-
PLA (Polylactic Acid) – A biodegradable bioplastic made from corn starch, ideal for eco-conscious brands.
-
PE (Polyethylene) – Flexible and durable, commonly used for reusable snap-fit lids.
2. Which material of the custom cup cover plastic lid is best for hot beverages like coffee and tea?
PP (Polypropylene) is the most suitable for hot drinks. It withstands temperatures up to 120°C, is BPA-free, and resists warping, making it ideal for sip lids and vented coffee covers.
3. What material of custom cup cover plastic lids should I choose for clear dome lids on smoothies or iced drinks?
Choose PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate). It’s crystal clear, has excellent rigidity, and offers a premium look for cold beverages. It’s also recyclable (Resin Code #1).
4. Are there biodegradable or compostable options for cup covers?
Yes. PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a compostable material derived from plants. It breaks down in industrial composting facilities and is suitable for cold or mildly warm beverages. Not recommended for hot drinks above 50°C.
5. Which material is the most affordable for large-volume orders?
PS (Polystyrene) is the lowest-cost option. It’s suitable for budget cold drink lids but is brittle and not eco-friendly, often used in short-term promotions or disposable event settings.
6. Can I recycle these cup covers?
It depends on the material:
-
PP and PET: Widely recyclable in most regions.
-
PLA: Compostable but not recyclable in regular plastic streams.
-
PS: Technically recyclable, but most facilities do not accept it.
Always check with local recycling policies for confirmation.
7. What’s the difference between glossy and matte finishes across materials?
-
PET and PS typically have a glossy, transparent surface.
-
PP and PE can be molded into matte or textured finishes.
-
PLA has a semi-gloss natural look but can vary depending on the mold and finish process.
Finish affects not only appearance but also branding, grip feel, and anti-slip properties.
8. Do these custom cup cover plastic materials affect the flavor or safety of the beverage?
No, all materials used (when FDA- or LFGB-approved) are food-grade and non-toxic.
However, only PP and PE are safe for high-heat contact, and materials like PS should never be used for hot drinks, as they may warp or leach chemicals.
9. Can I print my logo on all types of plastic lids or custom cup cover plastic materails?
Yes, but printing performance varies:
-
PP: Best for pad printing and hot stamping
-
PET: Works well with UV printing or foil stamping
-
PLA: Accepts printing, but requires specialized ink for adhesion
-
PS: Can be printed, but often used without branding due to brittleness
Embossing or debossing (raised or recessed logos) works best with PP and PE.
10. What’s the environmental impact of each material?
Material | Environmental Impact |
---|---|
PP | Recyclable, reusable; moderate impact |
PET | Highly recyclable (#1); but energy-intensive to produce |
PS | Non-eco; difficult to recycle; short-term use only |
PLA | Compostable, plant-based; best for eco branding |
PE | Reusable and flexible; rarely recycled but durable |
For sustainable branding, go with PLA for disposables or PE for reusables.
