Water Cooler Cups & Paper Cones

Disposable cups for workplace water dispensers

Water cooler cups and paper cones make it simple to offer drinks at shared hydration points without needing to collect and wash reusable glassware. They are easy to keep stocked in office kitchens, staff rooms, reception areas, meeting rooms and visitor refreshment points, as well as in commercial buildings with busy water dispensers.

This collection covers three main formats: 7oz plastic water cups, 7oz paper water cups and 4oz paper water cones. The 7oz cup is a widely used size for water coolers and dispensers, while cones are designed for quick drinks taken at the station and disposed of straight afterwards.

Choose the right cup format

7oz plastic water cups

Clear and blue tint plastic cups are lightweight, stackable and straightforward to store in cupboards or back-of-house supply areas. They are a familiar choice for standard water dispensers in offices, dental practices, waiting rooms, staff areas and patient refreshment points. Blue tint 7oz cups are particularly common in dental and clinical environments, including patient rinsing stations, consultation rooms and treatment areas.

7oz paper water cups

Paper water cups offer a disposable alternative for workplaces and public-facing sites looking to reduce plastic use. Their 7oz capacity makes them a good fit for routine drinks from water coolers in schools, colleges, offices, reception spaces and shared kitchens.

4oz compostable paper cones

Paper water cones are made for drink-and-dispose use at the dispenser. As they cannot be put down like a standard cup, they encourage users to finish their drink at the water point rather than carrying it around the building. This can help limit abandoned cups around gym floors, treadmills, studio spaces and changing rooms. Compostable paper cones are also a sensible choice for high-traffic hydration stations where a smaller, quick drink is expected.

Where water cups and cones are commonly used

• Offices and commercial buildings: keep kitchens, meeting rooms, reception desks, break rooms and shared staff areas supplied.
• Gyms, fitness centres and leisure facilities: use cups or paper cones at water stations, in studios and near changing rooms.
• Dental and medical practices: provide 7oz cups for rinsing stations, waiting areas and treatment rooms.
• Schools and colleges: replenish classrooms, staff rooms, canteens, sports halls and public water dispensers.
• Warehouses and factories: support hydration in break rooms, production areas, staff canteens and high-footfall water points.
• Public and community venues: stock libraries, community centres, sports clubs, council buildings, village halls and event spaces.

Ordering for regular replenishment

For facilities teams managing several water points, larger packs can make routine ordering easier and help avoid running short in busy periods. The range includes products from GM Packaging and Go-Pak, with boxes of 1,000 and 2,000 cups available, alongside larger cone cases depending on the product. Check the format, capacity and case quantity before ordering so the stock you choose matches the way your teams and visitors use each dispenser.
