Disposable Paper Cup Sizes
Paper cup sizing may sound both sleep-inducing and painful; however, it doesn’t need to be that way! Below, we’ve created a simple and easy-to-follow guide on branded paper cup sizes based on one of our favourite coffee companies: Starbucks (even though they’re solely responsible for my over-consumption of caffeine… we’ll leave that for another blog).

The dimensions will also vary from different manufacturers. For accuracy, it’s best to request a sample before you order. Starbucks size guide: http://starbucksorder.tumblr.com/drinksizes
