Product Introduction
|
|
|
The 1oz Molded Fiber Sauce Cup is designed for foodservice businesses that require a compact portion cup for sauces, dips, dressings, condiments, toppings, tastings, and small food samples. Its one-ounce nominal format supports controlled serving portions in restaurants, takeaway operations, catering services, cafeterias, food sampling programs, and foodservice packaging distribution.
The cup is manufactured from molded pulp fiber and has the natural appearance and tactile texture associated with molded-fiber food packaging. The inner serving surface is comparatively smoother, while the outer wall retains a visible molded texture and natural paper-fiber character.
A continuous molded flange surrounds the cup opening to support practical handling, filling, presentation, and separation from a nested stack. The shallow tapered sidewall leads to a molded base featuring reinforcing texture that helps define the bottom structure.
The product has confirmed water-resistant and oil-resistant performance for sauce and condiment applications. These terms describe functional resistance during intended foodservice use and should not be interpreted as a claim that the cup is completely waterproof or permanently leakproof under every food, temperature, contact time, or transportation condition.
Natural and white color options are available. The natural version presents a light, warm, low-saturation molded-fiber appearance, while the white version uses a soft natural off-white molded-pulp color rather than a cold or highly bleached plastic-like white.
The cups nest closely together to reduce storage space and improve bulk packing efficiency. The confirmed standard packing specification is 50 cups per transparent PE bag, 20 PE bags per outer carton, and 1,000 cups in total per carton. Cup quantities per bag, bags per carton, carton specifications, labels, and shipping marks can also be customized according to purchasing requirements.

Why Choose the 1oz Molded Fiber Sauce Cup?
The 1oz Molded Fiber Sauce Cup provides a compact portioning solution for foodservice buyers who need to serve sauces, condiments, dips, dressings, and samples in controlled quantities. Its one-ounce nominal capacity helps support portion consistency while reducing the space required for storage and service.
The shallow, round structure allows users to access sauces and dips easily. Its continuous flanged rim supports handling and separation from nested stacks, while the tapered sidewall and molded base define the cup’s practical foodservice profile.
Water-resistant and oil-resistant performance allows the cup to be evaluated for a range of sauce and condiment applications. Because actual performance can vary according to formulation and use conditions, samples should be tested with the intended food, temperature, contact time, filling process, and transportation method before bulk production.
Natural and white color options allow buyers to select the appearance that best matches their market or private-label positioning. The natural version emphasizes the molded-fiber character, while the white version provides a clean, soft, natural off-white presentation.
The cups nest closely to support compact storage, PE-bag packing, and carton utilization. Standard packing provides 50 cups per PE bag and 1,000 cups per carton, while customized packing can be developed for distributors, importers, foodservice groups, and private-label programs.

Buyer Decision Guide
Before ordering the 1oz Molded Fiber Sauce Cup, buyers should evaluate more than the nominal capacity. Top diameter, base diameter, cup height, usable capacity, rim width, unit weight, material formulation, nesting performance, and intended food-contact conditions can all affect purchasing suitability.
The following information should be confirmed before sampling or quotation:
- Required nominal and usable cup capacity
- Top diameter, base diameter, and cup height
- Preferred rim width and sidewall profile
- Required unit weight and structural strength
- Natural or white molded-fiber color
- Intended sauces, dressings, dips, or food samples
- Food temperature and expected contact time
- Required water- and oil-resistance performance
- Filling, storage, transportation, and serving conditions
- Destination-market documentation requirements
- Molded logo or surface-detail requirements
- Required cups per PE bag
- Required PE bags and total cups per carton
- Carton, label, and shipping-mark requirements
Water-resistant and oil-resistant performance should not be interpreted as complete or permanent leakproof performance under every condition. Samples should be tested with the buyer’s actual sauce or food formulation, especially when the product contains high levels of water, oil, acid, salt, or other functional ingredients.
The nominal one-ounce description should not replace an approved specification sheet. Final dimensions, usable capacity, tolerances, unit weight, material formulation, performance requirements, and packing configuration should be confirmed before bulk production.
PE Bag and Outer Carton Export Packing
The 1oz Molded Fiber Sauce Cup is closely nested for efficient storage and bulk export packing. The confirmed standard packing specification is 50 nested cups per transparent PE bag, 20 separately packed PE bags per outer carton, and 1,000 cups in total per carton.
- 50 closely nested cups per transparent PE bag
- 20 separately packed PE bags per outer carton
- 1,000 cups in total per outer carton
- Close nesting for efficient storage and carton utilization
- Transparent PE bags for clean and organized bulk packing
- Outer cartons suitable for wholesale handling and export preparation
- Custom cups per bag and bags per carton are available upon request
- Custom PE bags, cartons, labels, and shipping marks available upon request
Carton dimensions, gross weight, net weight, container-loading quantity, and customized packing requirements should be confirmed according to the approved cup and export specifications. Alternative packing arrangements can be evaluated for distributors, importers, foodservice groups, and private-label purchasing programs.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ordering by “1 oz” alone: Top diameter, base diameter, height, usable capacity, rim width, unit weight, and dimensional tolerances should also be confirmed.
- Assuming water-resistant means completely waterproof, performance depends on the selected formulation, food type, temperature, contact time, filling process, and transportation conditions.
- Assuming oil-resistant means permanent oil isolation, samples should be tested with the intended sauce, dressing, oil content, and service duration.
- Skipping food-condition testing: Actual sauces and condiments may differ in water, oil, acid, salt, and temperature conditions.
- Assuming all molded-fiber formulations perform identically, fiber composition, unit weight, functional formulation, and production specification can affect cup performance.
- Making unsupported compostability claims: Such claims depend on the final formulation, applicable certification, local collection systems, and available processing facilities.
- Assuming all certifications apply automatically, documents should be matched to the approved product specification and destination-market requirements.
- Copying packing quantities from another cup: The standard packing for this product is 50 cups per PE bag, 20 bags per carton, and 1,000 cups per carton.
- Assuming custom packing is automatic, customized bag and carton quantities should be confirmed before quotation and production.
- Approving only the visual appearance: Capacity, dimensions, resistance performance, nesting, packing, and intended foodservice conditions should also be evaluated.
