Application questions

More answers for your project.

Why are tasting cups smaller than regular cups?
The small size design can not only reduce the cost per cup, but also accurately control the tasting portion to avoid waste, while making it convenient for consumers to quickly taste a variety of flavors.
Are there any special requirements for the lamination of paper tasting cups?
Paper tasting cups are mostly used for tasting food and drinks in a short period of time, so they are generally coated on one side with PE, which can prevent liquid penetration and control costs.
What is the common capacity of a tasting glass?
Usually 10-50ml, 20ml is commonly used for supermarket tastings, and 30ml is commonly used for beverage tastings.
Do supermarket tasting cups need to have a double-layer structure?
Usually not necessary, because the capacity is small, the contact time is short and the temperature is not high, a single layer structure can meet the use requirements.

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.
