Current condition
Identify the cup supplier, material, dimensions and rim condition. Provide the approved lid or film reference, dimensions and print orientation, together with samples from normal production deliveries.

Cup and Lidding Range: Changeover and cleaning decisions
What decisions about cup and lidding range materially change the system concept for liquid cup fillers?
In brief
Provide production cups and the matched lid or film for every format. Record cup dimensions, rim shape, stiffness, nesting behaviour and lidding orientation so the trial can assess handling, filling and closing together.
For routine production using liquid cup filling and foil sealing, describe the realistic range and how changes in cup and lidding range affect the result you need.
Planning your application
Turn your production information into clearer decisions — Liquid Cup Fillers
Plan liquid cup fillers around your product, pack range, target output, cleaning needs and finished-pack checks. Discuss a practical line concept with Lancing using representative samples. Use this guide to resolve cup and lidding range before it limits the final system.
Discuss your applicationWhat to record
Cup and Lidding Range: condition, range and effect on your process
Realistic range
Include the smallest and largest cups and the formats that are most difficult to separate or locate. Record differences between normal batches and the change parts needed for each format.
Effect on the system
Trial cup denesting and support, nozzle entry, rim cleanliness, lid or film placement and discharge. Record tooling changes, first-off checks, cleaning and restart steps for each format.

Five questions about cup and lidding range for your application
- Who can confirm this information?Identify the person responsible for cup and lidding range in production, quality, engineering or operations.
- How representative is the sample?Include age, supplier, batch, environment and upstream process state where they affect liquid cup fillers.
- What is the difficult condition?Include doubled or tilted cups, the least rigid format, lid-placement variation and visible rim contamination. Agree which conditions the equipment should detect and how rejected cups will be contained.
- How will you judge the result?Agree the method, repetitions, acceptable range, result record and the response if the observed result falls outside the agreed range.
- What else must be coordinated?Your final liquid cup fillers scope must also account for cleaning, access and changeover method, finished-pack checks and reject handling, current regulations and the conditions at your site.
