The demand for sustainable packaging has tremendously increased. Custom preferences and regulatory bans have made it essential for brands to select sustainable packaging materials. The use of custom double-walled paper cups is one such necessity. These cups have a dual paperboard layer with an insulated air layer that offers superior protection and branding potential. Three factors have led to the expected surpassing of the custom paper cups business to $27 billion by 2030:
- Coffee culture boom
- Eco-conscious packaging trends
- Government restrictions on plastic
Double-walled paper cups are printed with food-grade inks that allow you to give your packaging a strong identity for your brand. From cafes to restaurants and event organizations, these cups hold significant importance. You can use them in:
Cafes and Coffee Shops
Cafes and coffee shops are the largest users of custom double-walled paper cups since they serve hot beverages daily in high quantities. The insulation is provided by a double wall, meaning that customers can easily carry a hot drink like coffee or tea without needing an extra sleeve, saving the business operational costs.
Restaurants And Food Courts
Cafeterias and food courts will find value in using double-walled paper cups due to their versatility in handling both hot and cold refreshments. In busy food courts, the acceptable packaging for customers is practical, safe, and easy to carry, particularly for drinking liquid containers. The double-wall cups are insulated to contain hot coffee and tea and to prevent condensation with cold drinks as well.
Company Events And Conferences
The office and corporate events often use the double-walled paper cups as serving receptacles of hot and cold beverages in business premises. These cups have a plush touch and can be custom imprinted with company logos, event logos, and/or motivational messages. At family or corporate functions, conferences, or training sessions, the use of cups to reinforce corporate identity and professionalism of a business is far beyond the utility.
Festivals
Festivals and takeaways require beverage packaging that is both easy to handle and convenient to carry. Double-walled paper cups satisfy these requirements as they provide thermal insulation to hot beverages and are resistant to spillages.
Why Choose Double-Walled Cups?
Custom double-walled cups are quite useful when it comes to serving hot or cold drinks. Due to its durability and thickness, the material provides perfect insulation and helps maintain the drink’s temperature. Some common reasons to choose these cups are :
Cost Effective
Custom-made double-walled paper cups do not require extra paper sleeves to serve an attractive appearance. The classic single-wall cups usually need sleeves to cushion the hands of the customers against the hot liquids.
Comfortable Grip
Comfort is a major aspect of customer satisfaction in the case of beverage packaging. There is nothing more uncomfortable than trying to hold a hot coffee or tea that is not comfortable, which can easily ruin the experience of a customer, no matter how high-quality the drink itself is. What’s different is that the double-walled paper coffee cups are specifically designed to provide a grip, as the outer layer is at a manageable temperature.
Hot Drinks Last Longer
One of the primary functions of a good cup is the maintenance of the temperature of beverages. Double-walled cups perform well in this aspect because they offer improved insulation compared to single-walled cups. Two-layered construction provides an insulating layer of air between the paperboard layers.
Branding
In the modern competitive world, there is no such thing as a mere container because packaging is also a branding opportunity. The 16-oz double-wall paper cups are ideal for obtaining high-quality printing. This enables businesses to print their logo and slogan, along with promotional campaigns and interactive designs like QR codes.
Material Composition
Paper cup board is used for the manufacturing of double-walled paper cups for coffee. This material is resistant to heat and can withstand pressure and liquid. The sustainable and food-grade nature of the material is also one of the major reasons it is widely used.
Base Paperboard
The base material is paper that is manufactured either from virgin wood pulp or from recycled paper. Paperboard ensures high stress and smooth printing, making it ideal for use as a promotional tool.
Grammage (GSM)
To manufacture custom printed cups with a double wall, we use a paper of 300 to 350 GSM for the inner wall. For the outer layer, a material of 200 to 250 GSM is used, which gives durability and insulation to the cups.
Coatings
We offer a range of coatings that can give customised double-walled paper cups an alluring and attractive look. Aside from being beautiful, these coatings enhance the overall durability of cups. We have:
- PLA coating that is plant-based and is derived from corn and sugarcane. This coating is compostable under high temperature and pressure.
- Aqueous dispersion coating is water-based and offers easy recyclability.
- Polyethylene coating is used for moisture resistance, but it is not a sustainable option.
Structural Design
As one of the top double-wall paper cup manufacturers in the USA, we manufacture the cups with extreme care, keeping in mind customer comfort. The cups are durable due to the double-walled layer. These two sheets of paper give a thermal barrier to the beverages, keeping them hot for a long duration.
The gap between the two walls reduces the requirement for sleeves as they keep the exterior normal in temperature. After this, we mechanically curl the rim in the outward direction to provide drinking comfort. This outward curling is quite useful for
A base disk with a reinforced bottom with a thickness of 0.23 to 0.25 mm is heat-sealed with a custom compostable cold cup to withstand the pressure of hot liquids.
Printing For A Catchy Presentation And Branding
We use several printing processes based on the design requirements and the budget of the company. Your branded double-walled paper cups will make it easy for you to get a strong brand identity in the market. We use food-safe inks so that there is no chance of any kind of contamination to your product. I am running a few minutes late; my previous meeting is running over.

Lid Options
Lids are a vital component of beverage packaging, particularly for services that are takeaway (to go). Various lid types can be used on the double-wall paper cups, depending on brand values and customer needs. In recent years, paper lids have gained increasing acceptance as a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic lids, pollutants, or even a more eco-friendly, spill-proof lid alternative.
Finishing
The appearance of the cups contributes to a positive customer perception of your brand. Matte to gloss coatings are all available to us that enhance mainly the appearance and overall aesthetics of your cups. You can also go with foil stamping on textured finishes that will create a luxury experience.
Certificates and Standards
To make sure that your brand does not encounter any kind of issue, we give certification of the material used to manufacture double or custom single-wall paper cups. Some of the certifications are:
FDA Accepted Food Contact
Safety and FDA approval are not negotiable when manufacturing a food product package, since paper cups that make direct contact with beverages can also spoil them. FDA compliance ensures that no harmful chemicals, such as BPA or heavy metals, are used in the materials used, including the paperboard and coatings. It is also non-toxic and safe.
FSC-Certified Paperboard
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international certification system that assures that forests are well-tended. By making FSC-certified paperboard double-wall paper cups, raw materials have been utilized to come up with an outcome that is environmentally sound and economically viable.
Compostability Standard
Companies that wish to take their sustainability one step further can get official certification in compostability, such as:
- ASTM D6400 (in the U.S.)
- EN 13432 (in Europe)
These standards certify that industrial composting processes can degrade materials incorporated in the manufacture of the double-walled paper cups within a given duration of time.
