The one thing that has become a ritual is the intake of tea and coffee in the morning. People don’t feel energized if they don’t drink tea in the morning. Purchasing custom tea cups for our brand are a very long-term and profit-yielding investment. They have ample space for printing and branding. It carries your name effortlessly and works as a mobile advertisement. When the customers carry our cups through the streets, many more people become aware of your brand’s name. The customers carry the tea cups for roughly 22 minutes. That is sufficient time for prompting the brand. Don’t waste the opportunity by using regular paper cups. This makes the user experience more luxurious and premium. You can also add QR codes that either link to the menu or the payment options.
The structure and strength of the printable paper teacups are determined by the quality of the materials used to make them. Good-quality cups are made using paperboard with premium coating and finishing that protects them. For tea paper cups that can endure high temperatures, a GSM of 280 to 350 is recommended. This makes sure that the walls of the cup don’t break and remain rigid. The following are a few types of materials that are used to make these paper cups:
This is unbleached paper. It gives a natural brown color, which is preferred by brands that want an eco-friendly option.
It is the standard paper used for high-resolution and complex design printing. It is a chemically bleached white paperboard.
It is usually made from post-industrial waste fibers. This is used mostly for the outer layer of the cups that have two layers because this paper needs special treatment to handle the hot temperatures of the cups.
This is the type of paper that is coated with polyethylene (PE). This provides a very strong barrier against water. This is thus best suited for holding beverages without absorbing them.
This is also the type of paperboard that is lined with a coating. The coating is polylactic acid (PLA), which is a bioplastic derived from corn or sugarcane. This coating makes these cups compostable.
This paper type uses a plastic-free water-dispersion coating. This coating makes the liquid stay easily in cups without leaking. But as the coating is not plastic-based, the cups are recyclable.
When you are investing in disposable paper tea cups for your cafe, restaurant, or stall, you should look for the following features of the cups and then make your decision:
The most important feature to look for in paper teacups for hot tea is insulation. Custom double-walled paper cups are the ones that have the most insulation. Due to two walls, the air gets trapped inside them and prevents heat transfer. This mechanism lets the tea remain hot for a longer time.
The paper tea cups for parties are custom-made with different themes. At the get-togethers, they are used so that people can easily carry the beverages without spilling them. These cups are coated with linings and layers to make them waterproof so that they can hold the beverages. This is usually made with plastic, but now many alternatives are also available.
Whenever any business wants to invest in packaging or the culinary for their brands, they always look for products that can give maximum ease to the customers. Paper tea cups with handles are becoming quite popular because many brands now want the customer to carry these paper cups in the same way they carry regular cups. You should also ask for paper cups with handles.
It is really important to select the right cup size, as the wrong size, such as small paper tea cups, can lead to spilling of the tea, or larger cups can cause customers to feel that they didn’t get enough to drink for the amount they have paid. The following is the size guide to help you choose the right cup size according to the quantity of the liquid:
| Size (oz) | Fluid capacity (ml) | Primary use |
| 4 | 120 | Testing and sampling |
| 6 | 180 | Breakfast tea |
| 8 | 240 | Standard small size for cafes |
| 10 | 300 | Medium-sized drinks |
| 12 | 355 | Regular takeaways, medium size |
| 16 | 475 | Large cups |
| 20 | 590 | Extra large drinks |
| 22 | 650 | Jumbo-sized, mostly for iced tea |
| Custom | As required | According to clients’ requirements and needs |
There are different types of tea paper cups. Many differ on the basis of structural integrations, such as those that come with handles or a stirrer to make the drinking process easy for the customers. The following are the different styles of paper cups:
| Style | Structure feature | Best intended use |
| Single wall cup | Lightweight and most commonly used paper cup | Hot or cold drinks, often used with a sleeve for hot drinks |
| Double wall cup | Has a built-in secondary layer | Serving hot teas without any need for an extra sleeve |
| Rippled wall cup | Textured outer layer with organic appearance | High-heat drinks |
| Paper tea cups with lids | Has a lid, which has a hole for drinking tea | For drinking while walking so that the tea does not spill |
When you have to choose the packaging and cups for your cafe brands, you have to choose the dealer very carefully. It is equally important as selecting the right tea leaves.
