They're right down the street from us. We used to use painters cups but those got pricey.

This is one of those products that suppliers seem to mark up too much for me to swallow so I get them direct. Recommend ordering a lot at once as the shipping is kinda steep from US Plastic. Or, just use your UPS acct.

try the dollar store. I get 2 for a dollar. Depending on the size and shape you can get 3-4 smaller ones;that's with screw type lids.

p.s. make sure you get the milky clear plastic type, they are not dissolved by plastisol.

These are the ones Megan is talking about. The $66 includes shipping.

We also use some of the screw on lid ones from U.S. Plastics.

Post by: ZooCity on December 21, 2011, 05:33:07 PM: Wow, those are crazy cheap. Might check some out next time around.

Does plastic like this meant for short-term use pose an issue with plasitsol over the longer-haul?
Title: Re: Quart Cups?
Post by: Binkspot on December 21, 2011, 05:54:42 PM: I've only been using these for about six months so not really sure how they will hold up, no problems so far. They are at least three times a heavy as the ones I have been buying at twice the price. Some of those have been on the shelf for over three years now (need to start tossing those).

They do hold up well microwaving soup though ;)

I also use my UPS Zebra printer to make ink labels for the containers, beats the masking tape/sharpie label.
