PE-Coated and PLA-Coated Food-Grade Paper Cup Raw Material for Pre-Printed

As a leading manufacturer and supplier of paper cup raw materials, we offer a complete range of high-quality paperboard solutions specifically designed for the production of disposable beverage cups, food containers, and packaging products. Our materials are manufactured from sustainably sourced virgin wood pulp, combining superior mechanical strength with excellent converting performance. Whether you are a cup manufacturer, a converter, or a packaging distributor, we provide customizable raw material options to meet your specific production requirements and end-use applications.

We supply two primary categories of paper cup raw materials to support diverse manufacturing processes:

Our raw materials are engineered for trouble-free high-speed converting (up to 250 cups/min):

• Consistent Caliper Tolerance: ±0.015mm ensures precise die-cutting, creasing, and curling without paper jams.
• Superior Stiffness (Taber Value): High bending resistance provides cup wall integrity, preventing collapse when filled with hot liquids (up to 95°C) or ice-cold beverages.
• Smooth Surface Finish: Top-side PPS roughness ≤ 2.0µm ensures vibrant, high-definition printing results with minimal ink consumption.
• Sealability: Excellent heat-seal adhesion performance on both PE and PLA coatings, ensuring leak-proof cup bottoms and side seams.
• Cobb Value: ≤ 30 g/m² (for PE/PLA coated) guarantees reliable liquid barrier protection.

We understand that food contact compliance is your top priority. All our paper cup raw materials strictly adhere to:

• US FDA (21 CFR 176.170) for direct food contact.
• EU Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and German BfR XXXVI for European markets.
• FSC® Certification (available on request) – supporting your corporate sustainability commitments.
• ISO 22000 / HACCP for food safety management throughout the production chain.
• Heavy metal and migration testing reports provided with every shipment.

Beyond standard products, we offer comprehensive customization to differentiate your cups in the marketplace:

• Grammage & Width: Adjustable to fit different cup sizes (from 2 oz espresso cups to 22 oz large soda cups) and converting machinery.
• Coating Type & Weight: PE (low-density/medium-density), PLA, or water-based dispersion coatings – single or double side.
• Printing Design: In-house pre-printing service with full-color CMYK + spot colors, including food-safe varnishes.
• Packaging Format: Available in master reels, slit rolls, or flat sheets, wrapped with anti-moisture kraft paper and reinforced pallets for ocean shipping.

• Annual Production Capacity: 120,000+ metric tons, ensuring reliable supply for long-term contracts and peak-season orders.
• Flexible MOQ: As low as 3 metric tons for standard grades; negotiable for customized specifications.
• Lead Time: 10–20 days after deposit confirmation (samples ready within 5 days).
• Global Shipping: Well-connected to major international ports with professional export documentation (CIQ, CO, Form A/E, Phytosanitary Certificate, etc.).
• Quality Assurance: Each batch undergoes strict incoming pulp testing, in-process monitoring, and final roll inspection prior to dispatch.

Our paper cup raw materials are suitable for a wide variety of foodservice packaging applications:

• Single-wall and double-wall insulated paper cups
• Ripple-wall cups (with corrugated sleeves)
• Soup and noodle containers (heat & grease resistance required)
• Ice cream cups and yogurt portion cups
• French press coffee cups and vending machine cups
• Retail takeaway food boxes and deli containers

• Factory Direct Pricing: No middlemen – competitive rates with consistent quality.
• Technical Support: Our engineering team offers on-site or remote troubleshooting to optimize your cup-forming production efficiency.
• Traceable Production: Full batch traceability from virgin pulp sourcing to finished rolls.
• Sustainability Commitment: We actively invest in recyclable and repulpable coating technologies to help you meet future environmental regulations.
