🏢 Suitable business settings
These disposable water cones are suited to water coolers, workplace hydration points and dispensers in factories, warehouses, production sites, workshops, schools, care homes, offices, gyms and leisure facilities. They can also be used at events, conferences, refreshment tables, registration areas and first-aid points where water is being served.
💡 Why choose cone cups?
Unlike a flat-bottomed water cup, a filled cone cannot be placed on a desk, shelf or work surface. This encourages people to take their drink at the water point before disposing of the cone, helping to keep disposable cups close to the dispenser rather than around shared and operational areas. The 5,000-case format is particularly useful where water is dispensed regularly.
Standard paper water cups may be a better fit for visitor areas, hospitality spaces or locations where people may need to set their drink down. For busy hydration points in factories, warehouses and other operational environments, water cones offer a practical controlled-use format.
🗂️ Storage
Keep in a cool, dry location and protect from moisture. Leave the cones in their packaging until required to help guard against dust, damp and contamination.
❓ Frequently asked questions
What are these paper water cones used for?
They are single-use cones for serving water at coolers, dispensers and hydration points. They are commonly used in workplaces, warehouses, factories, schools, gyms and at events.
Why select cones instead of regular water cups?
As the pointed base cannot stand when filled, users are encouraged to drink where the water is dispensed and discard the cone afterwards. This can help prevent cups from being taken to desks, left near equipment or discarded around a site.
Can these cones be used in factories or warehouse areas?
Yes. They are suitable for production, packing, factory and warehouse settings where staff need access to water but disposable cups should remain close to the hydration point.
Will they fit a water cooler dispenser?
Yes. These cones are compatible with standard cone cup dispensers and are commonly used alongside water coolers and hydration stations.
Can I serve hot drinks in paper water cones?
No. They are intended for cold drinks, especially water. Use purpose-made hot drink cups for tea, coffee and hot chocolate.
Do cone cups stand upright after filling?
No. Their cone base does not allow them to stand upright when filled, which encourages use and disposal at the water point.
Are these cones compostable?
Yes. They are fully compostable, plastic-free and made from uncoated food-safe paper.
Are they appropriate for gyms and leisure venues?
Yes. They can be placed by water coolers and hydration points in gyms, sports facilities and leisure centres for a quick drink.
Can offices use water cones?
Yes. They can be used at office water coolers where cups are to be kept near the dispenser rather than left in meeting rooms or on desks. A conventional paper water cup may provide a more premium appearance in visitor-facing spaces.
How many cones are supplied?
Each case contains 5,000 cones for high-volume locations with regular water demand.
