Dixie

The history of Dixie is an unusual one. What began in 1908 by inventor Lawrence Luellen, as a single serving drinking vessel designed to promote hygiene and reduce the risk of contamination caused by drinking from communal “tin dippers”, resulted in the invention of the first disposable paper cup. This innovation revolutionized the way people consumed beverages, providing a convenient and safe alternative to traditional cups. Since its inception, the Dixie brand has expanded its product line beyond “health cups” and has become a prominent manufacturer of various disposable paper products including plates, bowls, cutlery, and other tableware items. These items offer practical and convenient solutions for take-away food service, catered events, and fast-food establishments. Their commitment to quality and hygiene has allowed the Dixie brand to endure and remain a trusted choice for disposable tableware.
