- The maximum temperature it can bear is 104°F
PLA – Lined Paperboard
- Made with food-safe paperboard, these cups are lined with PLA based coatings.
- They give an organic look and are highly compostable.
- The paperboard acts as an insulator of light, keeping your beverages cold for longer periods of time.
- It gives a smooth printing surface.
- The maximum temperature it can bear is up to 140°F.
