Who buys this
Getting the spec right for sauce cups
- 1
Confirm the lid seals
A sauce pot that leaks in a delivery bag ruins the whole order. Test the exact lid-and-pot pairing, not the pot alone.
- 2
Pick paper or plastic
Clear PP shows the sauce and seals tightly. Paper is more sustainable-looking and takes print better.

Consolidate the shipment
These are cheap per piece and bulky in transit. Ship them alongside your other packaging rather than as a standalone order.
Sauce Cups & Portion Pots: common questions
What size sauce cup should we order?
2oz covers most dips and is the common default; 1oz suits concentrated sauces and cuts waste; 4oz for dressings and larger portions. Ordering one size in volume is usually cheaper than three sizes in small quantities.
Why is the minimum order so high for portion cups?
They are among the lowest-value items per piece, so factories set high minimums to make a run worth setting up. The practical answer is to consolidate them into a shipment with your other packaging — that is where the economics work.
