Joe - they are smaller than Dixie cups. I have used larger ones of the same style and smaller ones of a different type of container in the past. I like these as they are wider base and I am less likely to tip them over by accident. The skinny ones I have of a different style I drilled holes in a piece of 2x4 to hold them and keep them from tipping. These work well for carrying pollen to the garden but not as well for drying in my opinion. The skinny ones I would re-use but the ones from GF would be more of the disposable type. I will post some pics later.

Connie - these are about 1 1/2" diameter by about 1" tall (my estimate from memory). I will take a picture tonight and post. They seem like a good size to hold 6 to 12 anthers of a large flowered lily for drying. The mart album pollen I just put in them looks dinky...
