Product Definition and Core Functions
Disposable corrugated paper cups are eco-friendly beverage containers made from multi-layered composite paper. They feature an outer corrugated structure, a middle thermal insulation layer, and an inner food-grade PE film layer. Designed for holding hot/cold drinks and liquid foods, they offer heat resistance, durability, and lightweight properties, making them widely used in catering, retail, and event settings.
Structural Composition and Technical Advantages
● Multi-layer Composite Structure
Outer Layer | Corrugated texture enhances rigidity and grip comfort |
Middle Layer | Air interlayer or special thermal insulation material blocks heat transfer |
Inner Layer | PE film or bio-based coating ensures leak-proof performance and meets food-contact safety standards |
● Key Technical Advantages
Heat Resistance | Corrugated design reduces heat conduction, withstanding temperatures over 80°C without burning hands |
Compressive Strength | Multi-layer composite technology improves stacking stability during transportation |
Application Scenarios and Market Value
● Typical Applications
Coffee/Tea Beverage Industry | Suitable for high-temperature drinks like lattes and hot Americanos |
Takeout Scene | Crush-resistant design minimizes deformation risks during delivery |
Outdoor Activities | Portable and ideal for temporary consumption at exhibitions, concerts, etc |
● Industry Value
Environmental Trend | Some products use degradable materials (e.g., sugarcane pulp, bamboo fiber) to reduce plastic reliance |
Brand Marketing | Large printing surfaces enable customized advertising for brand exposure |
Production Process and Purchase Recommendations
● Production Flow
Raw paper slitting → PE film lamination → Corrugated forming → Cup edge curling → Printing → Quality inspection → Packaging.
● Purchase Tips
(1)Check for food-contact safety certifications (e.g., QS/SC marks);
(2)Test cup rigidity: No significant indentation when gently squeezing the wall;
(3)Ensure no pungent ink/plastic odors;
(4)Select appropriate grammage and capacity (e.g., 200ml–400ml) based on beverage types.
