The QL98 Series — available in 12 oz (355ml), 16 oz (473ml), 18 oz (532ml), and 20 oz (591ml) — is the widest-caliber cold cup in the QunLu range, built for juice bars, smoothie counters, and large-format cold beverage operations. The 98mm opening is the largest among all QunLu cold cup series, and the QL98-18OZ features a unique wide-bowl format that stands apart from every other cup in this range — making the QL98 Series the most format-diverse 98mm offering available.

① Widest Caliber in the QunLu Range — 98mm

The largest opening across all QunLu cold cup series — more room for fresh fruit, pulp-heavy juices, thick smoothies, and toppings that narrower cups restrict.

② 18 oz Wide-Bowl Format — A Unique Design

The QL98-18OZ breaks from the standard tall-cup profile: 98mm wide, 98mm tall, with a 72mm base — the widest base in the range. Low center of gravity, exceptional stability, and a distinctive presentation for dessert drinks and smoothie bowls.

③ 20 oz Maximum Volume — Largest in the Range

At 142mm tall and 591ml capacity, the QL98-20OZ is the largest standard cold cup QunLu produces. Built for large smoothies, party drinks, and super-size menu items where volume is the selling point.

④ Four Formats, One 98mm Lid System

12 oz standard, 16 oz standard, 18 oz wide-bowl, and 20 oz tall — all on one 98mm lid system. Your entire large-format cup range covered by one lid supplier and one lid SKU.

The 18 oz Wide-Bowl: Engineering Behind the Format

The QL98-18OZ is not a shortened tall cup — it is a purpose-engineered wide-bowl format with a near-equal height-to-width ratio (98mm × 98mm) and a 72mm base that is the widest in the QL98 range. This geometry keeps the center of gravity low even with dense, heavy-fill content — thick smoothies, ice cream, and mixed fruit — making it virtually untippable on counter surfaces and delivery trays. The wide sidewall also provides the largest sleeve label surface area in the QL98 range for brand graphics.

98mm Rim Performance

The 98mm rim — precision-formed to ±0.3mm roundness — delivers consistent dome and flat sip lid engagement across all four sizes. The wide rim geometry increases lid contact area compared to narrower calibers, reducing lid pop-off risk during handling and delivery. The 20 oz tall profile (142mm) uses reinforced wall engineering at the rim and base to maintain rigidity under full load.

Clarity for Large-Format Drinks

The 20 oz at 142mm provides maximum sidewall display height for layered juice colors; the 18 oz wide-bowl showcases thick smoothie textures from a wide-angle top-view — two distinct visual presentation formats within the same lid system.

Production & Safety

Dedicated Production Lines for Tall-Format & Bowl-Format Cups

The QL98-20OZ (142mm tall) and QL98-18OZ (wide-bowl) require different thermoforming line configurations than standard short cups. QunLu runs dedicated production lines calibrated specifically for tall-format and wide-bowl 98mm cups — maintaining wall thickness consistency from rim to base across the full height of each format. This is a manufacturing capability that generic cup producers without specialized tooling cannot reliably replicate.

All four QL98 sizes can be co-produced and consolidated into a single container shipment. For juice bar chains and smoothie operators who need 12 oz, 16 oz, 18 oz, and 20 oz in one order, this eliminates the coordination overhead of managing four separate suppliers or shipments. Every run QC-inspected before shipping from our 100,000 sqm Pinghu facility.

Located close to Shanghai Port and Ningbo Port. Full export documentation: FDA, ISO 22000, BRC, GRS.

Q: What is the 18 oz wide-bowl format best used for?

Thick smoothies, smoothie bowls in drinkable format, ice cream drinks, açaí blends, and dessert drink presentations where the low-profile wide-bowl geometry creates a distinctive visual that standard tall cups cannot replicate.

Q: How stable is the 20 oz at full load?

The 20 oz (142mm tall, 61mm base) uses reinforced wall engineering at the rim and base to maintain structural rigidity at full 591ml load. The 61mm base fits standard delivery bag cup holder inserts and resists tipping under normal handling.

Q: Which QL98 size is recommended for a juice bar starting program?

Most juice bar operators start with 16 oz as the primary size and add 12 oz for express/small portions. The 18 oz wide-bowl and 20 oz are typically introduced as premium or large-size options once the core menu is established.

Q: Can I order the 18 oz wide-bowl separately from the other sizes?

Yes — any single size or any combination of sizes can be ordered. The 18 oz is produced on dedicated tooling within the 98mm caliber infrastructure and carries no additional setup cost.
