The cost varies depending on where you live. Inquire with the recycling coordinator or solid waste management department of your local government.
No, I do not believe that is true. They appear to be made of plastic, and I'm still unsure whether or not they're anti-static. My liquids will appear to bead up, making it easier to scrape out all of the liquid. There is no chemical or waxy layer on the inside or outside of the body. From what I can tell, it's all made of plastic.
I've been using these cups for over a year, and the first thing I noticed was the smooth bottom, which makes it easier for me to get my various medications out of the cups. I'll always buy my medicine cups from this company because I adore their products. I'm not sure why you'd want to scrape out the bottom of the cup because you might end up with a whole cocoa bean in there. If you want to scrape out the bottom, I'd recommend getting a hard plastic cup rather than a soft plastic cup like these. I hope that anyone who reads this review has found it useful.
Selected User Reviews For A World Of Deals 1 oz. Non-Sterile Graduated Plastic Medicine Cups, 100 Piece, Clear
The quality of the cups in the most recent shipment has significantly deteriorated. They used to be whitish, but now they're clear and flimsy, and the writing containing the dosage is barely visible. Even in bright light, even with excellent vision, I am unable to see the dosage numbers. This is actually dangerous in my opinion, because it is very easy to administer the incorrect dosage by accident. I'm not going to buy them again, and I'm not recommending them to anyone. They ruined a good product, and I'm disappointed. br>br>Original review: There will be no more sticky children's medicine cups, no more washing them after each use, no more worrying about cross-contamination between children, and no more taking turns using the cup. I had three sick children at the same time, and these allowed me to give each of them their own cup, toss it, and call it a day.

br>The first batch came from "WelDun Solutions," while the second batch came from "VetMed USA," a distinction I didn't notice until I received my second shipment. br>br>The second batch of cups from "VetMed USA" are slightly different from the first batch; they're still good, and they were shipped quickly, but they're not the same as the first batch, and they're not the same as the one in the listing photo. My first order came with a cup with a sharp upper lip, as shown in the photo. The second batch has a rolled-up look to it. above the top lip br>br>VetMed shipped via USPS via DHL, which added two days to the "free two-day delivery" to my area and does not offer any en- tracking of shipments by route The shipping delay is not VetMed's fault; rather, it is a recurring issue with my local post office. The cups aren't as flexible as they used to be. Also, the graduations aren't as sharp and clear as they used to be. They're made of a different material than the rest of the house. I didn't open the sealed plastic bags they came in, so I can't say if they're as solvent-resistant as they claim. I may return them if they are not as resistant as the first batch or if they lack the same useful supplemental markings. I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble to ship them back because we're not talking about a lot of money. I'm sure this second batch would be fine for dispensing medications, but I'm not as enthusiastic about them because I'm using mine to mix glues and paints. br>br> I'm being picky. To be sure, I'm picky, but I found the first batch to be exactly what I needed, so I ordered more right away. The second batch is acceptable, but not ideal for my purposes. ***
br>br>ORIGINAL REVIEW: br>br>ORIGINAL REVIEW: br>br>ORIGINAL REVIEW: br>br>ORIGINAL REVIEW: (NOTE: This order was shipped from WelDun Solutions)br>br>Perfect for small batch mixing of paint, epoxy, and other materials. It arrived in record time. Graduations in these increments are found in cups: br>br> 5 ml (equivalent to 5 cc) )br> 1/8 fluid oz. 1 teaspoon; 1 teaspoon; 1 teaspoon; 1 teaspoon; 1 teaspoon; 1 teaspoon; 1 teaspoon; 1 teaspoon; 1 teaspoon; 1 teaspoon 1 dram is also an option. (1 oz. = 8 drams) )br>br>Extra markings can be found at:
2. 5, 7. 5 and 12. 5 mL (cubic centimeters); br>as well as at: br> 1/2 tsp and 1 dsspbr>br>1 dssp stands for "dessert spoon" and is standardized at 10 ml, or about 2/3 tablespoon. 2 tsp is the same as 2 tblsp. In the kitchen, 3 tsp per tbsp! ) A tbs is 15 ml in the UK, and 14 ml in the US. 79 ml. So there's a tiny difference between British and American measurements, but it shouldn't make a difference in recipes or when mixing paint or glue. If the answer is yes, then If you need to know exactly how much 21 ml is, you'll need a more precise measuring device than markings on a small cup. br>br>The graduations are small, but they're easy to read because they're sharp, crisp, and clear, with molded-in markings. They're crisp and clear, which I like because many molded-in products aren't. The multiple scales appeal to me because I am usually interested in ratios rather than absolute numbers, and with so many options, you can almost always find something that works. br>br>Because the cups are flexible, you can squeeze the top to create a spout so you can pour stuff out of them into other containers (for example, loading epoxy into hobby syringes) or smush a wider brush into the tops of them. Although the top lip is about 1 3/4 inches in diameter, I was able to squeeze a 2 inch disposable paint brush into it well enough to load it with paint for touch-up work by squeezing the top to elongate the lip. It wasn't particularly attractive, but it was the brush I had on hand at the time, and it got the job done. 1 3/4" diameter across the top, 1 3/8" high, and 1 1/8" diameter across the bottom. br>br>I haven't tested them with more aggressive solvents like acetone or lacquer thinners, but the mini plastic "water cooler" cups I was using previously dissolved in the solvents of my alkyd paint ("oil" based house paint) in about 30 minutes, while the paper version simply turned to mush in about 10 minutes. Mineral spirits and/or naphtha are the most common alkyd paint solvents. This is not the case with these cups. **Recent updates: Since then, I've used both acetone and lacquer thinner with no problems. Overnight may be an issue, but for the half hour or so that I'm working with them, they're fine, with no signs of degradation in these solvents. *
br>Now that I've had a chance to try them, I'll be sure to stock up. I can't tell you how many times I've mixed way more epoxy or paint than I needed simply because I couldn't get an accurate measure in small batches, despite the fact that the ratios are crucial. So I'd make a big batch just to make sure I got the proportions right, then throw away about five times as much as I'd use.
The order I thought I placed and the order I received were not the same. I expected these to be the hard plastic measuring medicine cups, but they were flimsy and bendy. Because you're trying to hold this in two fingers, the sides bend in, causing the measurements to be off, I prefer the more sturdy ones. If you pour things into them while they're sitting on a table, they'll work fine. However, they are clearly made on a shoestring budget. They did their job, but I'm not sure I'll buy them again.
I ordered these so that I could sort a month's worth of pills and store them in small plastic baggies. These are great because they're small enough that I can put 30 of them on my counter and just drop the pills in. They don't easily fall over, and I can easily pour out the pills. They also hold a wide variety of pill shapes, and I can easily fit 15 in the cup. Then I'll be able to re-stack the cups and store them for the next month.
I ordered one pack of these, and they were exactly what I needed at a reasonable price. I frequently order a small sample quantity of an item to see if I like it, and if I do, I order larger quantities to meet my needs. Because I was pleased with the first order, I placed a second order for ten packs. Because the graduation marks were completely unreadable, we had to discard at least half of the second order. I don't mean difficult or difficult to read; I mean completely unreadable, rendering them useless. To make matters worse, the usable and unusable cups were mixed randomly in the bags, so it was a process of discarding two or three bad cups before finding a usable one. The readable cups are nice, but I wish they were all readable.
I use them to measure and mix resin, and they're fantastic. I was hesitant at first because several reviews claimed they were difficult to read, but I decided to give them a shot anyway and had no issues. They're a little flimsy, so I might squish one if I squeeze while stirring (which I don't), but it's not a big deal. I've used a few to give my toddler her allergy medicine (clean ones we keep separate in the kitchen) and she's crushed a couple, but I've had no problems with them for what I bought them for, and they're disposable, so if I crush a couple, oh well.
Yes. They're a lot more durable than the rest of the items on this page. BUT . The lines are either non-existent or don't exist at all. On the cups, they are either non-existent or so faint that they must be fought to see. These are not the ones for you if you have vision problems. I just threw away about a third of mine because there were no lines to measure halfway down the cups; they were completely smooth. I returned mine and will return to the others, which will be of no use for small resin pours.
These cups make it easy to measure two-part liquids like epoxies, which are usually 1:3. 1 resin to hardener, or even fiberglass resins, where I measure a larger volume of resin and require 1/2 oz or 1 oz of catalyst to fire the reaction Using precisely graduated cups saves material and results in a stronger mix because the right amount of each component is used. This is a great deal!.
