Cold Drink Paper Cup Forming Solution

Designed for juice, iced tea, soft drinks, cold coffee, and other chilled beverages

Cold drinks pose unique challenges to paper cup performance due to condensation and prolonged holding time. This solution helps customers select the right cup structure and material to ensure the final product is durable, leak-proof, and comfortable to hold in cold beverage scenarios.

1. Common Applications

Cold drink paper cups are widely used in:

-Convenience stores and take-out cold drinks

2. Recommended Sizes & Paper Weight

All cold drink paper cups must use double-sided PE coated paper to effectively block condensation water penetration and prevent the cup body from softening or leaking.

The larger the capacity, the higher the grammage of the paper is recommended to improve the stiffness of the cup body and the stability of holding.

3. Key points for cold drink drinking cups

✅ Why must double-sided PE be used?

Cold drinks will produce condensation on the outer wall. If single-sided PE paper is used, the uncoated outer layer will absorb water and soften, causing deformation or leakage. Double-sided coating can effectively prevent moisture, seepage, and keep dry.

✅ How to choose the right weight?

The larger the capacity, the higher the liquid weight. 280gsm is the basic standard. It is recommended to use 300gsm and above for 16oz and above to ensure that the cup body is crisp, leak-proof and not deformed.

✅ Improve the hand-held experience

Double PE is not only impermeable, but also improves the feel of the cup body, keeps the outer wall dry, and avoids wetness and slipperyness that affects the consumer experience.

4. Summary and suggestions

All cold drink cups must use double-sided PE coated paper to prevent condensed water from softening the cup body

Weight matching suggestions are as follows:

8oz: 230gsm

12–16oz: 280–300gsm

20oz and above: ≥320gsm

The cup taper, paper rigidity and sealing should be optimized in combination with actual beverages and sales scenarios

Avoid using single PE or light weight paper to prevent risks such as leakage and complaints

Through reasonable structure and material configuration, cold drink paper cups can maintain stability in humid environments and long-term use, helping brands improve user experience and product reliability.
