Pure Titanium Mini Cup 15ml

Pure titanium single-wall mini cup, 15ml capacity, ≈9.7g finished weight, manufactured for wholesale and OEM buyers. Three surface finishes are available from the same production line — sand-blasting, crystallization, and anodizing — enabling procurement teams to differentiate product positioning across outdoor, spirits, and tableware retail channels without tooling changes. The stackable geometry (D36.5 × H28.5mm) reduces per-unit pack volume in bulk shipments and supports nesting kit programs. Packaging options include CPE bag, carry bag, and kraft box.

Quick Specs

Material & Manufacturing

Pure titanium, single-wall construction. Titanium has a density of approximately 4.5 g/cm³ versus 7.9 g/cm³ for 304 stainless steel — a 43% weight reduction at equivalent wall thickness. At this scale, that difference is pronounced: the 15ml cup achieves ≈9.7g, making it one of the lightest titanium mini cups available at this capacity. Comparable TA1 titanium 15ml cups from other manufacturers weigh 16.5g or more; the weight gap matters for multi-piece nesting kits, airline-compliant carry-on gear, and ultralight outdoor programs where grams accumulate across SKUs.

The food-contact interior requires no coating or liner. Pure titanium is chemically inert with liquids across the temperature range of both hot tea and chilled spirits — no metallic taste transfer, no heavy metal leaching. This material profile supports cross-border import compliance documentation without additional treatment declarations.

OEM & Customization

All three surface finishes are available within the standard production run and can be specified per order or mixed across a single batch.

Surface Finish Options:

• Sand-blasting (Matte) — uniform frosted texture; scratch-resistant; standard outdoor and daily-use positioning; anti-fingerprint surface suitable for retail shelf
• Crystallization — micro-textured crystalline pattern formed through thermal/mechanical process; produces a distinctive tactile surface with premium visual differentiation; suited for spirits brand accessories and gift set programs
• Anodizing — electrochemical color treatment; multiple colors available; Pantone reference accepted for brand color matching; suited for branded promotional programs and bar/hospitality custom merchandise

OEM / ODM Capabilities:

• Logo engraving via laser etching (vector file required) or silk-screen printing
• Custom packaging: CPE bag, carry bag, kraft box (standard, included in MOQ); custom retail box or gift set insert on request
• Multi-piece nesting sets: the D36.5mm footprint allows multiple units to stack; bulk pricing available for sets of 4, 6, or 10 per retail configuration
• ODM modifications available (profile, rim geometry) with separate tooling cost; lead time extends to 35–45 days

Procurement Flow:

• Sample lead time: 7–10 days (standard); 10–15 days with custom color or engraving
• Sample fees apply; offsettable against confirmed bulk order
• Bulk production: 30 days standard / 35–45 days custom
• MOQ: 100 pcs
• Payment terms: T/T; other arrangements available on request

FAQ

What makes the crystallization finish different from sand-blasting?
Sand-blasting produces a uniform matte frosted texture by abrasive media impact on the titanium surface. Crystallization creates a micro-faceted pattern through a separate thermal or mechanical process, resulting in a visually distinct surface with a subtle reflective quality — closer to a faceted or hammered appearance than a flat matte. Sand-blasting is the more common outdoor retail finish; crystallization is better suited to premium spirits or gift set programs where surface texture is a differentiation point. Both are available from the same production line.

Can anodized colors be matched to a specific Pantone reference?
Yes. Anodizing produces color through an electrochemical oxide layer on the titanium surface, and the process can be adjusted to target specific hues. Pantone references are accepted. Note that titanium anodizing produces a limited gamut compared to paint or powder coat — blues, purples, golds, and greens fall within standard achievable range. A color sample confirmation is recommended before committing to bulk production.

How many cups can be stacked per shipment unit, and does this affect packaging cost?
The D36.5 × H28.5mm footprint allows multiple units to nest directly. Stacking reduces per-unit carton volume for bulk shipments. For retail multi-pack programs (4-cup, 6-cup sets), stacked units can share a single carry bag or kraft box. Procurement teams planning larger order volumes should request a stacked packaging configuration quote to compare shipping cost against individual-unit packing.

What is the minimum order for a single finish option vs. mixed finishes?
The standard MOQ is 100 pcs. Mixed-finish orders (e.g., 50 pcs sand-blasting + 50 pcs anodized) are available within the same MOQ, subject to confirmation at the quote stage. Custom color anodizing within a mixed batch may require a minimum per-color quantity; confirm during sampling.

What retail channels are most common for this product?
Procurement teams sourcing this format most commonly place it across three channels: (1) outdoor and camping gear retailers as part of an ultralight spirits or tea accessory kit; (2) specialty spirits and hospitality supply for sake, soju, or whiskey tasting programs; (3) premium gift set programs where compact form, low weight, and customizable finish combine for high perceived value at low unit cost.

What is the lead time for a sample with custom anodized color?
Standard (unmodified) samples ship in 7–10 days. Samples requiring custom anodized color — particularly Pantone-matched — require 10–15 days to allow for color process calibration. Sample fees apply and are typically offset against the confirmed bulk order payment.
