The Frosted Transparent Color Cup 500 ml is a tinted-transparent variant of our 17 oz signature: 15.1 g of food-grade PP with a matte texture but see-through pigment in red, yellow, orange, or black. The translucent finish lets layered drinks (ombre teas, fruit infusions) still read through the wall while adding a colour overlay that solid cups can't deliver.

Best for
- Layered milk-tea operators running gradient (gula aren, strawberry-layer) menus where customers expect to see the layers — solid colour breaks the visual sell.
- Cocktail and mocktail bars serving punch-style drinks at brunch where tint amplifies drink colour photographically.
- Limited-edition juice campaigns in cafés rotating seasonal flavours where each colour signals a flavour line without printed branding.
Material rationale
Tinted-transparent PP keeps the natural 88% light-transmission profile down to about 55–60%, enough to overlay colour without losing the layered-drink visual. The 15.1 g wall is identical to our Frosted Flat Cup 500 ml, so cup-sealer film tension settings transfer directly across the SKU swap. Pigment goes in at the extruder — survives -18 °C dessert freezer and 100 °C hot-pour without coating risk. Black tint is the darkest available; for fully opaque black, use the frosted black solid SKU.
