How to Choose A Paper Cup Manufacturer?

Paper cups are disposable cups made out of paperboard, a type of cardboard that is thicker and stiffer than traditional paper. Paper cups are used for a variety of purposes, including drinking beverages like coffee, tea, and water. The paper cup manufacturing industry has come a long way since its humble beginnings in the late 19th century. There are so many paper cup manufacturers on the market nowadays and it’s been a question how to choose from. To help you make the best decision for your company, we’ve made a short guide.

The first thing you should consider is the qualifications of the paper cup manufacturer. You can use the official compliance qualification documents and documents issued by the paper cup manufacturer to ensure that the products it produces meet the requirements of national standards, industry standards and enterprise standards.

Secondly, ask for sample cups. It's important to see if the manufacturer can provide paper cups of various sizes and whether it supports personalized customization of appearance. The sample's quality usually represents the manufacturer's ability. After observing the surface and inside of the sample with the naked eye, you can also judge the quality of the paper cup by "pinching". When you pinch the paper cup with your fingers, you should be able to clearly tell whether this is the thickness of the paper cup you want to choose. Plus, it can help you find cups that are more comfortable to use and less prone to slipping. At the same time, during the test, you can use appropriate force to ensure that the paper cup is not easily deformed.

Smelling paper cups is also a way to intuitively judge the quality of paper cups because high-quality paper cups will not have unpleasant and pungent odors whether they are empty or filled with hot water. If you smell anything strange, there is a certain amount of toxic chemicals in the paper cups. Using a paper cup is not only harmful to the human body but also pollutes the environment.

The last step is to use the cup. You can add milk tea or coffee at 90°C±5°C to the paper cup, let it stand for an hour, and observe the state of the paper cup to ensure its airtightness in a high-temperature environment. During this period, you can also observe aspects such as deformation and softening of the paper cup. High-quality paper cup manufacturers will definitely provide paper cups with good airtightness and no deformation.
