Material Options
The material of your paper cups greatly affects the durability of your custom paper coffee cups. High-quality materials are used to make your coffee cups. To make them durable and leak-proof, specialised coatings are also used. The following are the basic materials used to make coffee paper cups:
Natural Unbleached Paperboard:
- Made with unbleached, natural wood fibres, giving a rustic colour
- Ideal for a natural and organic option
- Widely used option for custom disposable coffee cups with lids
- Commonly used when single and dark coloured printing is required
- Not ideal for vibrant prints
Bleached Paperboard:
- Goes through a bleaching process to attain a white, smooth surface.
- The white surface provides vibrant colours.
- Highly rigid structure
- Used by premium and modern brands
Both of the options can be primarily used to make custom hot paper coffee cups. They vary based on their performance and print quality. The selection of either of these two materials will not affect the basic functionality of your paper cups.
Custom Coatings For Leak Protection
Custom coatings are used for your custom coffee cups to prevent leakage and liquid absorption. These coatings create a thin layer that acts as a barrier against moisture and your beverages, and allow the cups to maintain their rigid structure. We provide you with the following coating options:
PE Coating
- Most commonly used at industrial levels all over the globe.
- Petroleum-based plastics are directly applied to the paperboard as a lamination.
- This could be the most economical option for bulk production.
- It can not be recycled and requires a specialised process to remove the lining from the paper.
PLA Coating
- Plant-based lining, extracted from natural resources like corn starch or sugar cane.
- Highly resistant to heat
- ASTM D6400 certified for being commercially compostable.
Aqueous Coating
- Made from a water-based polymer.
- A thin layer is directly sprayed on the paper and dried using heat.
- This makes your paper cups highly recyclable and sustainable.
Wall Structure
Different types of wall structures are added to these Custom coffee cups with lids. These external walls make the structure of your cups strong and help with thermal insulation as well. They help carry the cups comfortably. The following are the options we provide:
Single Wall Paper Cups
- Single-layered structure
- Low thermal insulation
- Ideally used for smooth graphics
- Lower unit cost
Double Wall Paper Cups
- Double layers with a visible air gap
- High Thermal Insulation
- Keeps drinks hot for longer periods
Ripple Wall Paper Cups
- Double Layers with a Corrugated Flute
- Maximum Thermal Insulation
- Ideal for bold print designs
Printing Methods
Market your coffee brand with custom printed cups. You can get your logo and brand story printed on these cups. This will help you organically reach more people, as people would wander around carrying your cups. We use different printing methods based on your order volumes. Your custom brand colours are matched using CMYK and PMS colour schemes. Below are the printing methods and the order volumes:
-
Digital Printing
Used to print less than 5000 units. The initial setup cost is almost zero, but the unit cost is relatively high. The cost per unit remains the same regardless of the total number of orders.
-
Offset Lithography
This is used to print 5000 to 20,000 units of paper cups. This method requires low to medium as it requires upfront investment in plates. The unit cost becomes lower if you choose lithography.
-
Flexography
Flexography is used at an industrial level. You can choose this method if your order volume is at least more than 20,000 units. This requires a whole mechanical setup, which can cost a lot if required for a small batch. For bulk orders, this helps reduce the overall cost per unit.
Addons
Custom add-ons help to turn your ordinary coffee cups into branded coffee cups. These add-ons instantly make your paper cups look premium and enhance the basic functionality of your coffee cups. The following are the most commonly used options:
- Custom Sip Through Lids
- Dome Lids
- External Sleeves
- Cup Carrier Trays
- Stir Sticks
- Custom Paper Straws
