Brooke Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Where do you think I can find larger quanity packages of those mini paper cups everyone uses for firestarters.Looking for the smaller kind like you would use for condiments ( tarter sauce, or ketchup)I tried a search on sam's club website but couldn't find them.Or do you like the larger cups for firestarters better ????

hewells Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 You could try Gordon's Food Service or a resturaunt supply, but Im sure Sam's has them just might not be listed on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krateliff Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Our Sams discontinued the paper portion cups so now they only have the plastic ones. I don't know which size you are looking for but Genpak and Sweetheart make them. Here is a link to all of the different sizes that Genpak makes http://www.genpak.com/cfm/containersbycategory.cfm?catid=15HTH,Kristy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I just use the paper cupcake liners and place them in a muffin tin so they hold up when you pour wax in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hewells Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I just use the paper cupcake liners and place them in a muffin tin so they hold up when you pour wax in them.Now that is a smart idea, those are fairly cheap for the amount that you get. Okay though my ? is do you use the colored ones or the plain white ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I use whatever ones I can find the cheepest, myself & my customers don't really care what color the paper is, for fire starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
