Cup packaging uses rigid plastic, paper or composite cups to hold and seal food and beverages. It covers a wide range of formats—from small juice and jelly cups to yogurt, fruit, snacks and ready-meal trays—and is now one of the most common packaging formats for both retail and on-the-go consumption.
Convenience and portion control – cups provide fixed, easy-to-handle single servings, ideal for retail, vending and takeaway.
Strong on-shelf presentation – cups show the product clearly and leave room for branding, labels and printed decoration.
Reliable sealing and shelf life – film or foil sealing protects the product from contamination and extends shelf life.
Wide product compatibility – cups suit liquids, pastes, granules, powders and irregular foods.
Automation-friendly – cup formats are easy to feed, fill, seal and code on high-speed automatic lines.
Growth in single-serve and on-the-go products – consumers increasingly prefer portable, ready-to-eat and ready-to-drink portions.
Custom shapes and sizes – brands use different cup diameters, shapes and colors to stand out on the shelf.
Layered and multi-material products – cups increasingly hold two or more ingredients, such as granule + liquid or fruit + sauce combinations.
Higher automation demands – manufacturers are replacing manual filling and sealing with automatic cup filling and sealing lines to cut labor and keep quality consistent.
Sustainable and food-safe materials – more buyers ask for food-grade, easy-to-clean and environmentally friendly cup materials.
Yogurt, jelly, pudding, fruit cups, juice and drinks, snacks and nuts, freeze-dried fruit, ice cream and frozen desserts, ready meals, rice, vegetables, meat, seafood and other cup-packed foods.
An automatic cup filling and sealing machine handles cup feeding, filling, film sealing, lid placing, date coding and finished product output in one line. It can be customized for different cup sizes, materials and product combinations, helping producers raise output, reduce manual work and keep filling and sealing quality consistent.
