Features and Types
Glasses and Goblets
The Gold Plast range includes glasses for every occasion: the Wine Cocktail Goblet 470 cc is available in several colours (white, purple and clear) and is ideal for wine or cocktails served at a buffet. The Tall Conical Shot Glass 75 cc — available in both clear and coloured versions — is perfect for liquid amuse-bouche, shots or finger food aperitifs. Packs of 25 pieces make restocking simple even for large events. If you would like to find out more about the individual piece, you can consult the product sheet for the gold plast wine cocktail goblet 470 cc white to check capacity and compatibility with your menu.
Disposable Cups
Cups are the strong point of the Gold Plast catalogue. The models are distinguished by shape and capacity:
- Sodo Cup (50 cc): sold in packs of 50 pieces, available in clear, white and black. Suitable for mousse, sorbets or sweet finger food.
- Pagoda Cup (65 cc) e Zero Cup (60 cc): narrow and tall profile, ideal for single-portion desserts or buffet amuse-bouche.
- Cube Cup (60 cc): square design, contemporary look, appreciated for ceremonies where presentation matters.
- Rain Cup (90 cc) e Rombo Cup (95 cc): larger capacity, ideal for ice cream, tiramisu or creams.
- Waterlily Cups (70 cc): petal shape, sold in packs of 20 transparent pieces.
- Onda Cup (95 cc): wavy edge, pack of 25 pieces.
Almost all models are in clear plastic; some references are available in white or black for those who want a chromatically defined setting.
Trays and Serving Plates
For those setting up a complete buffet, Gold Plast also offers trays. The Fashion SAN Tray (300×300 mm) is made of rigid clear plastic and is used as a single plate or serving tray. The Medium Plate Tray (130×130 mm) in a pack of 12 pieces is more compact and suitable for single portions or appetisers.
How to Choose
By Event Type
- Weddings and Ceremonies: prefer 470 cc goblets or Cube cups for a refined-looking table. White and clear colours blend well with light tablecloths and elegant centrepieces, which can be paired with table accessories such as the bow napkin holder EDG Enzo De Gasperi to complete the coordinated set.
- Christenings and Communions: small cups (Sodo 50 cc, Pagoda 65 cc) lend themselves to single-portion desserts served to children. Numerous packs reduce the cost per cover.
- Parties and Informal Celebrations: 75 cc conical shot glasses for shots and aperitifs, Rain or Rombo cups for ice cream and sweets. 300 mm Fashion trays serve as a base for food displays.
- Professional Catering: packs of 50 and 60 pieces of Sodo and Zero cups reduce the number of orders to manage and the cost per single piece.
By Colour and Aesthetics
Clear is the most versatile choice: it goes with any table palette. White gives a warmer and "ceremonial" effect. Black is the choice for dark or modern settings. Purple (available in the Wine Cocktail Goblet) adds a colour note for themed parties.
If you are setting up a Christmas table, you can pair the Gold Plast disposable tableware with coordinated decorations: take a look at the Christmas bauble gems EDG Enzo De Gasperi in gold tones for a matching centrepiece, or the LED stripes sphere EDG Enzo De Gasperi for a luminous decoration on the Christmas buffet.
By Quantity
Calculate approximately 2-3 cups or glasses per guest at a buffet with multiple courses. Packs of 25 pieces are convenient for small groups (15-20 people), packs of 50-60 pieces are suitable for events with 30 or more guests. The Medium Plate Tray 130 mm in a pack of 12 pieces integrates well with mixed orders.

It depends on the model. Packs vary: from 12 pieces (Medium Plate Tray), to 20 pieces (Waterlily Cups), to 25 pieces (Pagoda Cup, Tall Conical Shot Glass, Rombo and Onda Cups), up to 50-60 pieces (Sodo, Cube, Zero Cups). Check the product sheet for the exact quantity.
Can I use Gold Plast goblets for wine and cocktails?
Yes. The 470 cc Wine Cocktail Goblet is designed for both uses. The 470 cc capacity is suitable for both a good pour of wine and for long cocktails or spritzers.
Are the products suitable for ceremonies (weddings, christenings, communions)?
Yes. The Gold Plast line is widely used to set up ceremony tables in a practical way without sacrificing aesthetics. The clear and white models go well with tablecloths and centrepieces for weddings or christenings. For a Christmas effect, pair the cups with an Arpimex fabric angel in gold as a table decoration.
