How To Manufacture Them

These cups use very little material because of the single layer and leave a lower carbon footprint. As one of the best single wall paper cup manufacturers, you do not need to worry about the quality of your wholesale paper cups. The raw materials are FSC-certified and highly recyclable. We offer the following options.

1. Paperboard

The virgin wood pulp is the gold standard because they provide high strength to ensure the cups don’t fall. They are free of contaminants and chemicals, obtained directly from raw timber. The smooth surface is best for printing your graphics.   

2. Kraft paper 

Many brands attract eco-minded customers with the aesthetic and organic appearance of these cups.  

3. Sugarcane Bagasse 

They are a renewable alternative made from industrial byproducts to eliminate wood products. They require a thick GSM to overcome the issue of low structural sturdiness, and it has a textured surface.     

Protective Coatings

Increase the durability of your cups by laminating them with defensive barriers. They provide resistance against leakage to maintain structural stability because raw paper sheets can absorb liquids. The outer surface can be layered with decorative coatings such as gloss for vibrant display of colors and matte for a sleek appearance. You must line them with one of the following coatings.

Aqueous dispersion 

The cups are sprayed with a liquid resin mixture and dried for some time. When the water is dried, a protective layer is formed on the internal side.  

Polyethylene (PE)

A thin plastic sheet is directly applied to the inner layers to give them a strong moisture barrier to handle sogginess. They are affordable for both larger to small paper cups.

Polylactic Acid (PLA)   

These bioplastics are synthesized from cornstarch or sugarcane to provide an extra covering that prevents the seeping of oils.

Upgrade The Visibility Of Your Brand

Many cafes and restaurants lack proper branding of their products. Proper display of your graphics and images is necessary to create awareness of your business. You can present your custom 8oz single wall paper cups with logo and unique messages to advertise your brand. Showcase these illustrations without any mistakes with our advanced printing technology. Flexography is the most favourite choice for commercial restaurant chains to print their simple colors and repeated designs at a rapid production rate. You get a low cost per unit on large packaging orders. When you want flawless resolution and photographic images, go for offset printing for unmatched results. The ink is transferred onto the metal plates and presses the image before the cutting of cups. They are best for mass orders due to high setup costs. The demand for digital printing is growing rapidly because they require no physical plates for printing. You can directly stamp your 3D designs on the sheets. The best feature of this method is the unlimited changes in the patterns. They are expensive and best for small batches of limited seasonal promotions. Screen printing is best for mono solid colors and minimal designs for short runs. The thick ink is directly applied to the outer surface of the cups. Every business operates differently, and the choice of printing varies depending on multiple factors.           

  • Digital printing
  • Offset lithography
  • Flexography
  • Screen printing   

Safe ink options

The health of the customer is the first priority in the food business. The toxins in the inks can migrate into edibles to cause harmful effects. We use food-grade inks to maintain the quality of your drinks packaging.

  • Soy or vegetable inks
  • Water-based inks

Customization With Add-Ons

Whenever a customer visits your space, they always look for convenience with quality packaging. Adding small features can create a huge impact on their minds because you solve their pain points. You can also amaze them with premium finishes to give them a luxury feel. Integrate the following options to give a memorable experience.

Foil Stamping: The gold and silver embellishments are used to create a reflective appearance. 

Matching Lids: They are Available in sipper, reclosable, and compostable styles.

Spill Plugs: Insert sip holes into the lid to prevent spills during transport.

Embossing: Present your logos with a raised design to add a physical touch and a tactile feel.

Custom Sleeves: You can add a heat barrier with custom coffee sleeves for hot drinks.

Custom Carriers: You can incorporate custom handles that fold out from the cup wall.

Debossing: Engrave your brand images and names for a recessed look.
