When looking for reliable and functional disposable drinkware, PE coated paper cups are a standout choice for both hot and cold beverages. The polyethylene (PE) lining provides an excellent barrier, preventing liquid from seeping through the paper and ensuring your drink stays securely in the cup. This makes them versatile for various settings, from coffee shops and offices to parties and events. For specific applications, you might also consider our Cold Drink Paper Cup, which is optimized for chilled beverages, our rustic Kraft Paper Cup for a natural look, our environmentally-friendly Compostable Paper Cup for sustainable disposal, and our PLA Lined Paper Cup which uses a biodegradable polylactic acid liner as an alternative to traditional PE coating.
The PE Coated Paper Cup is engineered with precision to meet high standards of performance and safety. Its construction begins with high-quality paperboard sourced from sustainable forests, providing a sturdy base. This paperboard is then extrusion-coated with a layer of food-grade polyethylene (PE), which acts as a waterproof barrier. This lining is crucial as it prevents the cup from becoming soggy and maintains the structural integrity, whether holding a steaming hot coffee or an icy cold soda. The PE coating is FDA-approved, ensuring it is safe for direct food contact and does not impart any unwanted taste or odor to the beverage. The cups are designed for excellent heat retention for hot drinks and condensation resistance for cold ones, offering a comfortable user experience. The smooth interior surface also allows for easy drinking and prevents liquid from sticking. Furthermore, the PE Coated Paper Cup is compatible with most standard lids, ensuring a secure fit and preventing spills during transport.
