Recommended Cups
Although a variety of cups may work in the BIC
machine, the most success (without cup cracking) has
come from polyethylene (PETE) cups. Other varieties
such as glass, polypropylene, and thick walled
styrofoam have also proven workable. Cup thickness,
material composition, diameter and cup height play an
important role in the workability of the cup within the
machine.
The following are cup general guidelines. Cups
outside these parameters may work — testing in the
machine with the product will be necessary.
• Cup heights between 4.25" and 7.00".
• Cup opening diameter greater than 3.50" and less
than 4.18".
• Cup base diameter greater than 2.38" and less
than 2.62".
