Milk Tea Cup Solution

Milk tea paper cup forming solution


Applicable to popular drinks such as hot and cold milk tea, milk tea with milk cap, cheese tea, etc.


As a drink that can be consumed both hot and cold, milk tea has certain requirements for the capacity, structure, impermeability and thermal insulation of paper cups. In order to meet the needs of store sales and take-away drinking, milk tea paper cups should scientifically match paper materials and structural forms according to the temperature, capacity and usage scenarios of the beverage. Mingyuan Machinery Co., Ltd. will customize a reasonable solution based on the specific application needs of the customer and recommend a suitable paper cup making machine

3. Recommendations for hot and cold drinks


Hot milk tea adaptation suggestions


-Use single PE coated paper


-Single-layer structure can be used when the capacity is ≤16oz


-For bags ≥16oz or for long-term takeout, it is recommended to use a hollow double-layer structure to improve thermal insulation.


4. Summary and suggestions


-For cold drinks, be sure to use double-sided PE coated paper to prevent condensation from affecting the cup body


-It is recommended to use single PE coated paper for hot drinks, which can be matched with double layer structure to prevent scalding.


-The paper weight increases with the capacity, usually 250-320gsm


-The scientific configuration of structure and materials helps improve user experience, cup forming rate and stability

Application questions

More answers for your project.

What is the principle behind the ripple design of the anti-scalding milk tea cup?
The corrugated design creates a layer of air between the cup wall and your hand, which is both heat-insulating and non-slip, making it more comfortable to hold.
What size of milk tea paper cups are commonly used?
The most commonly used capacities are 12oz, 16oz, 22oz and 24oz, and some brands will customize extra-large cup sizes of 700ml or 1000ml.
Are milk tea paper cups suitable for holding cold drinks for a long time?
Suitable. With double-sided lamination structure and high-weight paper, the cup body can remain stable and not soften even if ice cubes are placed in it for a long time.
What are the general options for the capacity of milk tea cups?
Common capacities of milk tea cups are 300ml (small cup), 500ml (medium cup) and 700ml (large cup). 500ml is the mainstream size in the market, while 700ml is mostly used for added beverages.
What is the most commonly used paper weight for milk tea cups?
Most milk tea shops use 12oz or 16oz milk tea cups, and the paper cups usually weigh 250 to 300gsm.
Does the milk tea cup deform easily after being filled?
No. The paper weight is over 300gsm, and the cup body is stiff enough, so it won't collapse or slip even if you hold it full.

Your requirements will help us recommend equipment and prepare a quotation.
Which machine is suitable for my cup?

Start with the cup structure, dimensions, paper and output target. The forming machine and any connected equipment can then be discussed.

Do I need printing and die cutting equipment?

It depends on your starting material. A business buying ready-made cup fans has a different equipment scope from one preparing fans from paper rolls.

Can a forming machine make double wall cups on its own?

Double wall projects need the inner cup and outer sleeve to match. Confirm the forming and sleeving combination for the selected cup.

How should I compare the production output?

Confirm the cup, material, tooling, run conditions and accepted output. Forming speed and packaging speed are different measures.
