The best paper cups are leak-free

Paper coffee cups are made with about 140-10 pieces per minute. Making them leak-free is not easy, but it defines the quality of the paper cup. Who wants to spill hot coffee or thee on your outfit.

Paper cups production

For our cups we always use virgin fiber material. While the paper has an open seam inside the cup, the beverage can have migration with the inside of the paper. When recycled material is used, there might be leftovers of paint, glue or anything else in the paper, which gives a possibility of migration.

The cup consist out of two parts. The bottom and the side wall. The first step is to make the side wall in the shape of a cup. This shape is being made by heat sealing the ‘blank’ of the coffee cup paper to itself. When the side wall has a closed side seam, the bottom can be inserted. This bottom is often a bit heavier in grammage than the wall of the cup, since this part needs to carry the complete content of the cup.

Leak-free paper cups

The thickness of the board, the type of barrier that is used, the time that the producer takes to apply the heat sealing and the drying time determine the quality of the coffee cups. The quality is often defined by how it feels when in your hand, how hot the cup gets and of course if the paper coffee cup is leak-free.

Extensive testing of coffee cups

During the production of the paper cups, we constantly test the cups on their quality. By pouring hot and cold beverages like cappuccino, espresso, thee or lemonade in the cup, we can adjust the settings of the machines accordingly. This extensive testing takes place during the complete production, the whole day. There is no difference in the amount of tests or the extensiveness of the tests for 4 oz, 6 oz or for example our 8 oz paper cups
