PE coated paper cup fans, specifically in the 6oz and 7oz sizes with a weight of 190gsm (grams per square meter), are popular choices in the food and beverage industry for serving a variety of drinks, including hot and cold beverages. These cups are known for their durability, insulation properties, and suitability for different drink applications.
The 6oz and 7oz sizes are commonly used for single servings of coffee, tea, or other beverages. The 190gsm weight indicates the thickness and sturdiness of the paper, ensuring that the cups can effectively contain liquids without losing their structural integrity.
1. Material Composition:
The cup fans are typically composed of two layers – a paper layer and a polyethylene (PE) layer. The paper is derived from wood pulp, often sourced from responsibly managed forests. This paper provides the main structure and strength of the cup.
The PE layer, applied to one or both sides of the paper, acts as a barrier against moisture and liquids. This is essential for preventing the cup from becoming soggy, especially when used for hot beverages like coffee and tea.
2. Manufacturing Process:
The manufacturing process involves coating the paper with a thin layer of polyethylene through extrusion coating. This coating is carefully controlled to balance protection against moisture and the flexibility of the paper.
The coated paper is then dried and cut into fan-shaped sheets. These sheets serve as the starting point for forming the cups.
3. Heat Resistance:
One of the significant advantages of PE coated paper cup fans is their ability to resist heat. The polyethylene layer acts as a heat barrier, ensuring that the cups remain comfortable to hold even when filled with hot beverages.
4. Printing and Customization:
The smooth surface provided by the PE coating allows for high-quality printing. Cup manufacturers can customize these cups with attractive designs, branding, and informative content, enhancing the overall visual appeal.
5. Versatility and Convenience:
The 6oz and 7oz sizes cater to a variety of beverage serving needs, making them versatile for both hot and cold drinks. Their disposable nature adds to the convenience factor for consumers on the go.
