They’re commonly called portion cups or soufflé cups, and the snap-on tops are portion cup lids. You’ll also see them referred to as condiment cups, sample cups, or mini cups with lids.

• Sizes: Typically range from about 1 oz to 4 oz, with some smaller or slightly larger options.
• Lid styles: Flat lids for easy stacking, and dome lids when you need extra room.
• Uses: Great for sauces, dressings, dips, tasting samples, and jello shots.
• Packaging: Sold as cup-and-lid sets or as separate lids by compatible size.

Think about how much you’re serving and how it’ll be used, then match the size and lid type.

• Serving amount: About 1 oz works for single tastings; 2 oz is a common pick for condiments and dips; 3–4 oz can hold heartier sides or small desserts.
• Lid fit: Check the cup’s listed capacity and rim diameter; lids are sized to specific cups.
• Use case: Flat lids stack neatly; dome lids help with toppings.
• Convenience: Consider clear lids for visibility and packs that include lids to simplify ordering.

Yes—lids are available on their own, but it’s important to match them to your cup size and style.

• Compatibility: Look for lids that list the exact ounce range (e.g., fits 0.75–1 oz, 1.5–2.5 oz, or 3.25–5.5 oz cups).
• Lid style: Choose flat for stacking or dome for extra space.
• Cup type: Portion cup lids differ from hot cup or ice cream cup lids; verify the intended cup category.
• Materials: PET and other plastics are common; match material and use case.

Availability can vary by location, and larger carton quantities are often offered for events or catering.

It depends on what you’re serving and how you’ll store or transport them.

• Flat lids: Low profile, great for stacking trays and compact storage.
• Dome lids: Extra headroom for toppings or layered desserts; helpful when presentation matters.
• Non-vented vs. vented: Portion cups typically use non-vented lids for cold items; vented lids are more common on hot cups.
• Reusable options: Silicone or ceramic lids are designed for mugs and small bowls, not standard portion cups—check compatibility before buying.

Always confirm the listed fit (size and rim type) on the product page.

Mini cups with lids can be handy for all of those uses when you pick the right size and lid style.

• Samples: 1 oz cups help control portions during tastings.
• Sauces and dips: 2 oz is a popular capacity; flat lids stack well for meal prep.
• Jello shots and desserts: 1–2 oz cups with lids store neatly; dome lids can accommodate toppings.
• Care tips: Avoid microwaving unless the product is labeled microwave-safe. If using warm liquids, choose lids designed for hot cups.
