Frequently Asked Questions
Are disposable cups environmentally friendly?
Disposable cups can be environmentally friendly, depending on the materials used. Our range is made from recyclable PP plastic, designed to minimise environmental impact while still offering the convenience of single-use.
What is the difference between a UK and US pint?
The main difference between a UK and US pint is their volume. A UK pint is 568ml, while a US pint is smaller at 473ml. This means UK pint cups are larger and hold more liquid than their US counterparts. At GM Packaging, our pint and half-pint cups are sized according to UK standards, making them ideal for use in British pubs, events, and catering settings.
Can these cups be reused?
Our pint and half-pint cups are primarily designed for single use but can be gently washed and reused a few times if needed. However, for hygiene and safety, we recommend reusing only when appropriate and avoiding reuse if the cup shows signs of wear or damage.
