The single wall paper cup is the most common as it is the most economical and can be used for the most purposes. You are always welcome to write us an email or give us a call if you are not sure which option is best for you. Below, we have listed the considerations we always think about ourselves when we are talking to a customer about the choice of paperboard thickness and paper cup. The type of paper cup and thickness that you should choose depends on a number of considerations. We therefore start by considering the choice between single wall paper cups and double wall paper cups instead.

There is no single thickness that is definitively better Paperboard thickness can vary, and it will have an impact on theįinal price as well. Paper cups are also available in many different It is more difficult to get a sharp and clear print on a ripple or dimple wall cup, and we have only seen production batches in Europe for orders of 10,000 and up. But if you want the printed design to stand out clearly and if you want to order smaller print runs, then the choice is really between single or double wall cups. June 2019 There are basically four different types of custom design paper cups. It helps coffee drinkers want a cup that they feel will contribute to waste reduction, while still keeping the convenience factor. What’s really exciting about this is that it’s a sustainable and practical solution at the same time,” says Papo.

“When people think of sustainable solutions they think of certain compromises that have to be made. It is a 100% plastic-free, compostable beverage cup that replaces the traditional lid with paper folds that seal the drink tightly. After countless coffee-shop interviews and more than hundreds of prototypes later, he and long-time friend Kaanur Papo founded Unocup, in 2019. One of the co-founders and designers of Unocup, Tom Chan, was just a sophomore when he came up with the original concept – a single unit with an origami-like lid that you fold into place to seal liquid inside, eliminating the need for single-use plastic lids. Unocup has been optimized for mass-production using existing cup-making machinery which will yield significant cost and energy savings in manufacturing, storage, and transportation while not requiring new machinery or investment. The first prototype was developed in 2015 and it has been refined 800 times since then to create the perfect final version that is as strong as your coffee. You can also fold flaps backward and drink from the rim just like a normal drinking glass. The drinking curved spout is specifically designed to fit your lips naturally as opposed to the otherwise flat plastic lids. This cup has a unique shape that fits into your palm, the uniform structure creates a strong and consistent body that will not cave under pressure, unlike traditional paper cups. To open, it is a simple press of a button that will gently open the flap instead of trying to carefully pop off the lid – praying for you if you attempt that with long nails. Just fold over each flap and insert the tab to close the “lid”. To solve this issue and keep coffee from spilling on your clothes, Unocup designed an ergonomic paper cup that folds into itself to create a spill-proof lid! Not-so-fun fact: New York City alone generates enough plastic lid waste to cover the entire earth THREE times. Most of us have abandoned plastic straws but the next big culprit of our to-go coffees are the plastic lids! About 8.25 million tons of plastic waste enter the ocean each year and these take a million years to decompose causing significant damage to the oceans and marine life.
