The one-lid argument
If 500 and 750 share a lid diameter, the buyer stocks one lid SKU instead of two. That saves shelf space and reduces picking errors in a warehouse. Ask your supplier to quote a matched pair before ordering either alone.
FAQ
Is 500ml enough for a main course? For rice or noodles, no — 750 is the minimum. For a side or a light soup, yes.
Can it be filled hot? Up to about 85°C with a 0.5 mm wall. Above that, specify 0.6 mm.
Next step
Ask for a matched 500/750 pair with a common lid. We will quote both and show the carton difference.
