With so many foodservice establishments focusing more on delivery and pickup, finding ways to avoid spilling drinks in transit is as important as ever. The last thing a customer wants is that their long-awaited smoothie or original is not delivered in its entirety. To prevent this, restaurants use
biodegradable cup carrier to keep drinks balanced and portable. However, not all
beverage cup carriers are created equal. For example, some common drink holders may only hold two drinks, while a paper holder can hold up to six cups. To find the best one for you, we've put together this guide to beverage carriers so you can make an informed decision when shopping for biodegradable cup holders for your business.
What is a biodegradable cup carrier
Biodegradable cup carrier is also known as drink holders and cup holders. The cup holder is designed with indents to securely hold one cup or multiple cups at the same time. They make it easier to distribute drinks to customers at your restaurant or deliver large orders of drinks to customers' homes.
There are many types of beverage carriers made of different materials. Most are single-use, such as plastic tote bags, paper trays and kraft paper carriers. However, reusable beverage bags are gaining popularity among delivery drivers.
Biodegradable cup carrier
The most common type of biodegradable cup holder is a tray. Fast food restaurants often use beverage trays to package takeout orders. These trays typically hold up to four beverages and can accommodate cups of different sizes. Made from pulp fibers, these lightweight beverage trays are biodegradable and recyclable. Despite its lightweight design, beverage trays are tear-resistant and some hold up to 32 ounces of beverage.

Kraft paper carrier
Similar to the plastic tote, the kraft paper tote has a handle, but the difference is that the kraft paper tote has a compartment or opening that can hold a cup. Kraft paper carriers are available in a variety of designs and can hold cups in different ways. They're a coffee shop favorite because customers don't have to hold hot drinks on the go. Kraft paper is known to resist moisture and avoid getting soggy when exposed to liquids. After use, they can be conveniently recycled to help reduce carbon footprint.

While many
beverage carriers are spill-proof, they can still be possible if used improperly. The most important thing to remember when using a
biodegradable cup carrier is to double check that the cups are securely sealed and properly placed in their compartment or bag. Sometimes employees may not notice that beverages are not properly sealed and packaged, which can cause confusion in transit. Finally, tell the delivery driver to slow down to avoid an accident, and let them know they will contact you if the drink spills. This way, you can start placing orders and inform your customers in advance that their drinks might be a little late.
