Soup Paper Cup Forming Solution

Soup-based products are typically served hot, often containing oil or food particles. These features demand strong heat resistance, oil resistance, and structural strength from the paper cup. Common applications include dine-in packaging, takeout, food courts, and self-service buffets.

Based on our years of experience in paper cup forming, this solution provides practical recommendations for soup cup capacity, structure design, and paper material configuration. We offer customized solutions and can recommend suitable paper cup forming machines to meet the rigorous packaging needs of hot food products.

1. Application Scenarios

-Soup cups are commonly used in:

• -Takeout soup, porridge, and stew packaging
• -Self-service restaurants and institutional catering
• -Chinese food delivery packaging
• -Ready-to-eat soup retail products

Applicable for contents such as hot broth, chicken soup, miso soup, beef stew, herbal tonics, seafood chowder, or porridge.

2. Capacity & Paper Configuration Recommendations

The most common capacity range is 8oz–20oz, and paper weight and coating selection should be adjusted according to the product’s temperature, oil content, and delivery conditions:

✅ For oily hot soups, double-sided PE coating is recommended to prevent cup softening or leaking under high temperatures.
✅ For stew or chunky contents, use ≥280gsm paper for added structural strength.

3.Summary Recommendations

✅ Recommended Capacity: 8oz–20oz, covering both dine-in and delivery needs

✅ Recommended Structure: Single-wall thick paper cup or double-wall insulation structure

✅ Paper Weight: 260–320gsm, paired with single or double PE coating as needed

✅ Cup Shape: Standardized for efficiency, sealing compatibility, and strength

With properly selected materials and configurations, soup cups can deliver excellent heat resistance, oil barrier performance, and overall structural integrity, making them an ideal solution for hot food packaging across various foodservice and retail channels.
