Introducing the 98mm Strawless PET Lid

Today's cold beverage landscape has changed and the lid sitting on top of the cup needs to change with it. LidWorks is proud to announce that our 98mm Strawless PET Lid is in production, tooling is ready, and it's available to order right now. Whether you're running a specialty coffee program, a dirty soda bar, an iced tea concept, or a full fountain operation, this lid was built for you.

Why Strawless, Why Now

Consumer preferences and regulatory pressure are moving in the same direction: away from single-use plastic straws. Hundreds of U.S. jurisdictions have enacted straw-by-request rules, with more states and municipalities adding restrictions in 2026. But beyond compliance, today's beverage consumer wants a cleaner, more elevated sipping experience. They want portability without fumbling for a straw wrapper. They want a lid that communicates that this drink is worth something.

The strawless lid isn't a compromise, it's an upgrade. It's what premium beverage programs have been moving toward, and it's now accessible at scale.

Built for Performance, Designed for Presentation

The LidWorks 98mm Strawless PET Lid (LWSL98PET) is engineered around three things operators tell us they care about most: a secure, consistent fit; crystal-clear presentation; and a comfortable sipping experience that holds up through the entire drink.

The lid is made from clear PET, the same high-clarity material that makes cold drinks look their best in the cup. Unlike opaque lids that hide the product, this lid showcases layered beverages, foam textures, and signature colors as a visual selling point. In an era where drinks are photographed before they're consumed, clarity is a marketing asset.
