PET Cup and Lid Compatibility Guide
A lid fits by rim geometry, not by the ounce number printed on a cup. Confirm the diameter and lid profile for every item code before committing to volume.
Start with rim diameter
Use the cup and lid specifications in the EDI catalog to match the measured rim diameter. Two cups with the same capacity can use different lid families.
Choose the service profile
Flat lids suit standard cold-drink service. Dome lids add headroom for whipped toppings and overfill. Confirm straw-slot and no-hole requirements with the exact lid item.
Approve the pair
Request samples or written compatibility confirmation when changing either side of a cup-and-lid pair. Keep the approved cup and lid item codes together in purchasing records.
