Foldable Silicone Cups with Carabiner

  • Collapses to roughly the height of its own lid — pockets, bags and glove boxes.
  • Carabiner clips it to a rucksack, a belt loop or a lanyard.
  • 340 ml food-grade silicone with a rigid PP rim and handle, so it holds its shape when full.
  • Takes hot drinks, which a folding plastic cup cannot.
  • Versions with a sealed pill or storage compartment in the base.

Every reusable cup scheme runs into the same wall: people will not carry a rigid cup around all day. A folding cup removes that objection by taking up almost no space when it is empty.

How it works

The body is food-grade silicone with concertina walls, so it compresses down to about the height of its own rim. The rim and handle are rigid PP, which is what stops the cup collapsing when it is full and lifted — the failure mode of cheaper all-silicone designs. A carabiner on the handle clips it to a rucksack, a belt loop or a lanyard, so it travels on the outside of a bag rather than in it.

Where it earns its place

  • Conferences and trade fairs — a real answer to disposable coffee cups that delegates will actually carry.
  • Hiking, camping and outdoor brands — the product category it was designed for.
  • Corporate wellness and office schemes — removing single-use cups without buying everyone a rigid mug.
  • Travel and airline gifting — packs flat in hand luggage.

Versions

The standard 340 ml cup with a carabiner handle covers most orders. There is also a smaller version with a sealed compartment in the base for tablets or supplements, which sells to pharmacy, travel and outdoor retail for reasons that have nothing to do with drinking.

Common questions

Does it hold hot drinks?

Yes. Food-grade silicone is stable well beyond the temperature of coffee, and the rigid PP rim keeps the cup from flexing when you lift it. The silicone body also insulates better than thin plastic, so it is more comfortable to hold than a disposable cup.

How small does it fold?

Down to roughly the height of the rim — a disc a few centimetres thick. That is the whole point: a rigid cup takes the space of a cup whether it is full or empty, and this one does not, which is why it ends up in a rucksack rather than a drawer.

Where does the logo go?

On the rigid rim or on the silicone body, pad printed or screen printed. The rim gives the sharpest result because it is a flat, hard surface; the body gives more area. Both are visible when the cup is folded and clipped to a bag, which is most of the time.

Who normally orders these?

Outdoor brands and hiking retailers, conference and trade-fair organisers who want an alternative to a disposable coffee cup, corporate wellness programmes, and travel companies. It is also a good choice for offices trying to remove single-use cups without asking people to carry a rigid mug.
