No More Stadium Juggling Acts
Go to concession stand at a ball game or concert and it’s likely you’ll see some juggling and balancing acts as patrons return to their seats trying to hold on to cups and beverages and food jammed in small cardboard trays. Inevitably some unlucky fan spills a cup or two or three on the way.
To the chagrin of concession operators, many customers limit their purchases because its so difficult to carry food and full beverage cups more than a few feet unless one has a sense of balance a gymnast or tightrope walker would envy.
The Cup-Tote II™ from ITW Hi-Cone is the sustainable solution concessionaires have been waiting for. The Tote was engineered to be easy to use, doesn’t require staff training to implement, and has gotten rave reviews from consumers in market testing.
The Tote holds two bevarage cups from sizes small to large and are sold on space saving spools of 300 that easily fit behind your counter. They’re even perforated for easy Tote removal!
We all know that paper stadium trays take up a lot of space at the concession stands and create a lot of waste.
The Cup-Tote requires over 90% less storage space and also greatly reduces the amount of solid waste because it is made from far less mateial….100% re-cyclable LDPE that’s also photodegradable which means that it will deteriorate and break apart over time in sun-light if improperly discarded.
Why Choose Cup-Tote™
- Saves Money (Cup-Totes cost less than standard paperboard carriers)
- Reduces Storage Space (Cup-Totes save up to 90% of your storage space and reduce disposal costs)
- Sustainable Packaging (Less material means less waste)
- Photodegradable (Totes will degrade in sunlight if improperly discarded)
- If Customers Can Carry More, They’ll Buy More = Increased Sales!

“ The Cup-Tote worked great for us. This product enables the customer to carry multiple drink items in one hand. There were less spills and the customer was able to visit the condiment area and navigate to his/her seat with far less difficulty than normal. The sustainability nature of the product is a real plus too!”

“ We have been using Cup-Totes. When we started using them, it was something new, something out in left field. It is a matter of education, once the employees felt comfortable using the tote; realizing the tote could carry every size cup we carried just by adjusting a center ring; they started using them all the time, in turn they educated the customer.
Now we have customers who ask for a tote to carry their drinks rather than a tray.
Using the tote frees up the hands of the customer, they can carry a tray with more food items while their drinks hang from their wrist, without spilling their drinks.
If you do a high volume business in refreshments, you will like the convenience of the Cup Tote.”
