The plain white finish provides a clean canvas for branding while the PE lining ensures structural integrity during hot beverage dispensing. Ideal for specialty coffee applications including espresso-based drinks and smaller format beverages, this cup combines functional performance with practical ergonomics for professional café and foodservice environments.
What does PE-lined mean?
PE stands for Polyethylene, a food-safe plastic coating applied to the inside of the paper cup. It creates a waterproof barrier that keeps hot liquids from seeping into the paper fiber.
What is the difference between single wall (SW) and double wall (DW) cups?
Single wall cups feature one layer of paperboard, making them compact, lightweight, and economical. Double wall cups feature an extra outer layer for built-in heat insulation. Single wall cups are often paired with a cup sleeve when serving boiling-hot beverages.
Can these cups be recycled?
Recycling availability for PE-lined cups varies by location. Many commercial recycling programs accept PE-coated paper products. Check your local municipal guidelines for poly-coated paperboard packaging.
