Coated Paper Cup Packaging

Coated Paper Cup Packaging is a cup packaging form made of coated paper material, which is widely used in the food and beverage industry, especially in hot and cold drinks. It improves the anti-penetration ability and structural strength of the paper cup by coating a layer of polyethylene (PE), PLA or other waterproof and oil-proof coating on the surface of the paper. It is one of the most common packaging methods for disposable paper cups.

Uses:

Coated Paper Cup Packaging is mainly used in the catering service industry and is suitable for loading hot and cold drinks, such as coffee, tea, milk tea, juice, carbonated drinks, smoothies, etc. It is also commonly used in takeaway packaging, event distribution, commercial exhibitions, aviation services, and daily use in offices and homes. In addition to beverages, some special styles can also be used to hold small amounts of food, such as popcorn, soups or desserts.

Material:

This type of paper cup is mainly based on food-grade paper, and the surface is covered with an anti-seepage coating to enhance functionality:

Food-grade base paper: usually uses certified pure wood pulp paper, with good stiffness and non-toxic safety.

PE coating: Polyethylene coating is often used on the inner and outer walls to prevent liquid penetration and increase the hardness of the paper cup.

PLA coating: an alternative coating for degradable paper cups, derived from plant starch, suitable for environmental protection needs.

Double coating: some high-end cups are double-coated inside and outside to further improve the anti-seepage and grip comfort.

Printing ink: food-safe water-based or soy ink is used for cup printing to ensure safe use.
