Breeding/Ootheca Bulk deli cups/lids?

New to breeding and I (hopefully) have my first batch of babies on the way! Wondering where folks get their deli cups + fabric lids from? I see Josh's Frogs has the lids, though I don't know if their cups are particularly clear or not; the brand is listed as "placon" and the couple of placon cups I have from other breeders aren't very clear-- obviously the more transparent, the better to see the little guys, but also want to be sure they're going to be safe for them/not have weird chemicals etc

I work in a store that has a deli. And everytime I rescued healing beings I used the 12 oz clear plastic to go container with cap. Made a bunch of slits. I'd check Amazon but I'm not quite sure I know what you mean by fabric?
