Tea Beverage Paper Cup Forming Solution

Tea beverages come in various types—from hot black and oolong teas to cold brew fruit teas—each requiring different levels of temperature resistance, moisture protection, and grip comfort. Based on our years of experience in equipment manufacturing and paper cup production, this solution provides scientific recommendations on cup capacity, structure, and paper specifications to meet diverse tea drink packaging needs.

1.Capacity & Paper Configuration Suggestions

Common tea beverage cup sizes range from 8oz to 22oz, with different structures and coatings recommended based on temperature and usage:

✅ Hot tea: Use double-wall or thickened single-wall cups to improve heat insulation and holding comfort.
✅ Cold tea: Must use double-sided PE-coated paper to prevent softening and leakage caused by condensation.

3. Cup Structure Recommendations

✅Hot beverage cups: Double-wall cups are preferred. The outer sleeve can be kraft or printed paper for better insulation and branding.

✅Cold beverage cups: A thickened single-wall cup is sufficient, providing durability and moisture resistance.

✅Rim Diameter: Commonly Φ80mm / Φ90mm, compatible with standard plastic lids.
