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

1. Application scenarios
-Drinking and take-away at milk tea stores
-Drink supply in shopping malls, food courts, and exhibitions
Applicable beverage types include:
-Cold drinks: iced milk tea, iced milk tea, cheese fruit tea
-Hot drinks: hot milk tea, hot soy milk, heated cheese milk tea, etc.

2. Capacity specifications and paper weight recommendations
Volume
Typical Use
Recommended Structure
Suggested Paper Weight
12-16oz
Standard milk tea/ hot milk tea
Single layer / Double layer
Hot drinks: 250–280gsm (single PE)
Cold drinks: 280gsm (double PE)
16-22oz
Iced milk tea/ large cheese tea
Single layer / Double layer
280–320gsm

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

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.
Double wall projects need the inner cup and outer sleeve to match. Confirm the forming and sleeving combination for the selected cup.
Confirm the cup, material, tooling, run conditions and accepted output. Forming speed and packaging speed are different measures.
