Disposable Communion Cups
Communion cups are the small individual cups passed in trays at the Lord's Supper. The disposable kind is clear plastic, about 1 3/8 inches tall and 1 1/4 inches across, holding roughly half an ounce of juice or wine. Boxes of 1,000 are the standard pack. Products differ in rim shape, plastic clarity, stackability and whether the plastic is recyclable. A few makers also sell small reusable glass cups that fit the same tray holes.
A box of 1,000 cups from Bekith, Salt & Light, Westmon Works or SruiSwei lasts a church of 100 about ten services. Churches that order bread and cups together can take the Broadman bundle of 1,000 cups and 1,000 wafers. Small fellowships that wash cups after each service can choose a set of twelve glass cups. Confirm that the cup height matches the tray before buying in bulk.

Questions before you order
Will these cups fit my communion trays?
Most disposable cups are made to the standard 1 3/8 inch height with a rim of about 1 1/4 inches. That size fits the holes in common stainless and aluminum trays, including RemembranceWare and Artistic trays. Measure a hole in your tray if it is an older or imported set.
How much do the cups hold?
A standard disposable communion cup holds about 0.5 ounce, or roughly 10 ml, when filled near the rim. In practice ushers fill them a little under that. A 16 ounce filler bottle fills around 80 cups, and an 8 ounce bottle about 25 to 30.
Are disposable communion cups recyclable?
Several makers here, including Salt & Light, Westmon Works and SruiSwei, state their cups are made of recyclable plastic. Local recycling rules vary for small plastic items, so check with the municipal program. Reusable glass cups avoid the question but need washing after each service.
How do glass cups compare with plastic?
Glass cups are reusable and heavier, which keeps them steady in the tray, and they are sold in sets of twelve. They must be washed and dried between services and can break. Plastic cups are lighter, bought by the 1,000 and discarded after use.
