Bubble Tea & Boba Cups Pakistan | Custom Printed PET Cups for Boba Shops 2026

Bubble tea and boba shops are growing faster than almost any other F&B category in Pakistan. From Lahore's DHA to Karachi's Clifton, new boba outlets open weekly — and their packaging is a core part of the brand. This guide covers everything a boba shop owner needs to know about custom printed boba cups, dome lids, and jumbo straws in Pakistan.

What Size Cup Do Boba Shops Use?

Bubble tea and boba drinks are almost always served in large-format cups — 16oz to 24oz — because the drink includes ice, milk, and tapioca pearls. The most popular size for boba shops in Pakistan is 16oz (500ml approx), followed by 20oz and 24oz for premium or large sizes.

• 16oz PET glass — most popular for standard boba and bubble tea
• 20oz PET glass — growing in popularity for premium-size menus
• 22oz PET glass — large, impactful presentation
• 24oz PET glass — jumbo size for extra-large orders
• Clear or shaded options — clear shows drink colour; shaded adds a premium tinted look

Which Type of Cup for Boba — PET or Injection?

For bubble tea, clear PET glasses are the standard choice. They are crystal-clear, lightweight, and show off the layered drink and tapioca pearls — which is central to the boba experience. Injection glasses are a premium option for cafes that want a heavier, more tactile cup with a stronger brand impression. PET glasses are more economical for high daily volume.

Dome Lids for Boba Cups

Boba shops almost always use dome lids — the high-domed PET lid that fits over the cup without pressing down on the drink, leaving space for toppings and foam. We supply compatible dome lids in 98mm and 90mm sizing to match our 16oz–24oz PET glasses. Flat lids and cross-cut straw lids are also available.

• Dome PET lid — for smoothies, boba, cold foam, and topping-heavy drinks
• Flat PET lid — clean look for regular cold drinks
• Cross-cut straw lid — straw punctures the center, no pre-cut hole
• Sip lid — sip opening for standard cold drinks

Jumbo Straws for Bubble Tea

Standard 6mm straws are too narrow for tapioca pearls. Boba drinks require at least 8mm diameter straws — ideally 10mm or wider for large pearls. We supply 8mm plastic straws in standard and mixed-colour packs, plus paper-wrapped individual straws for hygiene.

• 8mm plastic straw — standard boba size, available in black, red, and colour mix
• 8mm paper-wrapped straw — individual hygiene wrap, premium cafe presentation
• 6mm colorful bending straw — for regular cold drinks and smaller-portion beverages

Custom Logo Printing on Boba Cups

Custom printed boba cups build brand recognition instantly. A clear PET glass with your logo is photographed and shared on social media with every order. Printing options include single-colour screen printing for simple wordmarks and full-colour UV printing for multi-colour logos, gradients, and illustrated designs. Full 360-degree wrap printing is available on all sizes.
