Water cups are a basic essential in offices, waiting rooms, workplaces, events, cafés and all kinds of spaces where a drink needs to be offered quickly and conveniently. Although they may all look similar at first glance, there are different materials, capacities and designs that make it possible to choose the most suitable cup for each type of service.
From classic plastic water cups to cardboard alternatives, paper cones or decorated designs, each format offers different characteristics.
At Monouso, you can find different options for water cups, both for occasional use and for spaces where they are used daily and continuously.
Plastic water cups: a practical and functional classic
Plastic water cups are one of the most recognizable options. Their lightweight design, resistance and ease of use make them especially practical when a large number of cups are needed.
Their transparent finish also makes it easy to see the drink and turns them into a versatile option not only for water, but also for soft drinks, juices and other cold beverages.
Ideal for
- Offices and workplaces.
- Events and celebrations.
- Waiting rooms.
- Water dispensers.
- High-turnover services.
Paper water cones: practical for dispensers
Paper water cones offer a different format from the traditional cup. Their characteristic conical shape is especially designed for occasional water consumption, with the container discarded after use.
Thanks to their compact size, they are very practical next to water fountains and dispensers, especially in places where quick consumption is encouraged.
Ideal for
- Water fountains.
- Dispensers.
- Offices.
- Companies.
- Public centres and facilities.
Cardboard water cups: versatility for hot and cold drinks
Although cardboard cups are traditionally associated with coffee, they are also an excellent option as cardboard cups for cold drinks.
The inner coating acts as a barrier against liquids and helps maintain the cup’s structure during use. This type of inner coating is commonly used in paper cups to help prevent leaks.
Their versatility also means they can be used for different beverages, which is particularly useful in businesses and spaces where a single format needs to cover different requirements.
White cardboard cups
White cardboard cups stand out for their simple, clean and neutral appearance. They are easy to integrate into almost any environment and are especially practical when a functional cup is needed without decorative elements.
They are a good choice for offices, events, waiting rooms, cafés and other spaces where water is served regularly.
Kraft cardboard cups
For those who prefer a more natural look, kraft cardboard cups offer a distinctive finish that differs from the classic white cup.
The kraft tone gives the service more personality while maintaining the characteristic versatility of cardboard cups for serving water and other beverages.
Aqua cups: a design inspired by the movement of water
If water is the main feature, why not choose a cup visually designed with it in mind?
Monouso® Aqua cardboard cups feature an exclusive in-house design inspired by the movement of water, creating a fresh and carefully considered look that is especially suitable for this type of drink.
Their design turns an everyday item such as a cup into part of the overall presentation, setting it apart from traditional white or kraft models.
But Aqua stands out for more than just its appearance. Its PE inner lamination helps prevent leaks and allows the cup to be used with both hot and cold drinks.
Although its design makes it especially attractive for serving water, it can also be used for soft drinks, coffee, infusions and other beverages.
Where can Aqua cups be used?
- Offices and workplaces.
- Waiting rooms.
- Events.
- Cafés.
- Areas with water dispensers.
- Meetings and professional spaces.
- Home use.
Its combination of design, functionality and versatility makes Aqua a particularly interesting option when, in addition to having a practical cup, you also want to enhance the presentation of the water service.
