What are paper cups made from
Paper cups are generally 95% (by weight) paper or card and 5% a thin coating. The coating is bonded to the cup in order to prevent the cardboard fibre from absorbing liquid contained within the cup and therefore becoming wet and collapsing. Polyethylene plastic (PE) is the most prevalent coating material.
Can your hot cups be used for cold drinks?
Cold drinks, especially those with ice added, create condensation on the outside of the cup. Paper cold cups have a PE coating on the outside of the cup too to protect the side wall from this moisture. Hot cups do not have PE on the outside of the cup and so we would not recommend their use for cold drinks.
What materials do you use to manufacture your cups?
ForceLeader Cups are manufactured from Virgin SBS (Solid Bleached Sulphate) paper cupboard with a PE (Polyethylene) lining. The paper board comes from trees grown in sustainable forests in Europe and the USA. The board weight and thickness varies according to the size of the cup.
Do I need a Single Wall or a Double Wall cup?
ForceLeader manufacture two types of single wall cups a) those designed for automatic vending machines and b) those used in ‘coffee to go’ applications. We also manufacture three types of double wall cups, that offer increased insulation.
Single Wall cups are suitable for service scenarios where a customer does not travel far from the point of service. Though cup sleeves can be used with single wall cups where boiling water is used to produce a cup.
Double wall cups are ideal for drinking on the move where the increased insulation means that drinks stay warmer and can be held more comfortably for longer.
How do I submit artwork for custom printed paper cups?
Artwork for printed paper cups can be sent directly to our Customer Services team. Artwork is best if it is submitted using AI, EPS or PDF formats as flat vector line work. A colour visual is produced once the artwork has been reworked onto the cup template for you to approve, Origination charges apply to new print jobs.
