CREATING SAFE PAPER CUPS

There are plenty of ideas on how paper cups are produced, and how they impact the environment. As you read further, you will find out how paper cups must be made. There is a proper way to dispose of them and you will know about it here. They influence the environment a lot, which is why it is important to know more about them.

Being on the lookout for which branded custom printed paper cups to produce is the manufacturer’s responsibility. Bio Paper Cups has adapted to environmentally-friendly ways to produce branded paper cups. We know that we must meet customer expectations. That is especially when it comes to cost and sustainability. There are many types of paper cups and critical factors to consider before we make them.

MANUFACTURING OF PAPER CUPS

We are not unclear on how we produce our paper cups. Bio Paper Cups is happy to elaborate on the safety, production, and recyclability of our paper cups. We distribute them to the public because they are safe to use. Manufacturing paper cups use raw materials, coating styles, and production processes. In addition, raw materials are the only ones we include the innovation. Since paper cups are an old concept.

By producing biodegradable paper cups, we do not have to worry about how they will go through the recycling process. These cups do not require a separate recycling machine and no distinct process is necessary. Our disposable paper cups are completely recyclable and compostable, our baseboard is bioboard, this is made from cornstarch, totally natural raw extract.

100% BIODEGRADABLE PAPER CUPS – PE VS. PLA

PE is polyethylene, and it is for making packaging, plastic bags, and containers. Additionally, they use it for a paper cup coating so they are stronger and waterproof. PE is petroleum-based, which affects how long a cup breaks down. The PE-lined paper cups are still recyclable. They must go through a recycling process that is different from other recyclables.

PLA comes from plant-based materials like sugar cane or cornstarch. This is a bioplastic since the materials used are renewable sources. PLA is completely biodegradable and compostable. PLA naturally breaks down due to environmental exposure. It also does not leave toxic residues.

Our company began offering PLA-coated paper cups in early 2016. It was after many of our customers requested it. Like any other business, customer demands are always prioritized. They wanted a compostable bioplastic, and PLA was the answer to that.

PLA’s level of heat resistance is the same with PE’s. PLA can handle anything that PE could. As of now, there is still a higher demand for PE than PLA, but that’s because people lack awareness.

Unlike the PE-lined cups, PLA-lined cups do not have to go through a separate recycling process. That is because they can be thrown into the composting bin right away. Thus, reducing landfill. PLA production also uses the same equipment for plastic. That makes it cost-efficient to manufacture.

PAPER CUPS PRINTING

A lot of paper cups are used for marketing, which is why they print the company logo on them. There are many printing methods, and each one is specialized. It will depend on the efficiency and usefulness to customers.

Offset printing is a common printing method, especially for large quantities. The printing plate is the more expensive part of the process. It ensures that each cup has the same printing. The process also ensures reasonable prices. The prices become lower as the amount increases.

Flexographic Printing – This type of printing is the modern letterpress version. It is for printing on almost any kind of substrate. That includes plastic, paper, cellophane, and metal.

The advantages of flexo printing include being able to run on very high press speeds. Flexo is also for printing on a huge range of substrate materials.

The disadvantage is the high cost of printing plates. But, if they are properly maintained, they can be for printing millions of impressions. Furthermore, if a complex job is important, they consume several hours on printing set up.

Digital Printing is a common and efficient method of printing. The documents or color pictures onto paper or other material become easier. Digital printing is cheaper and faster, so they use it more in newspapers. This is because the cost of printing plates is cheaper.

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING PAPER CUPS

The paper cup’s design is essential because they are now used for branding, and it is influential. If you have eco-friendly paper cups, focus on the design as well. You must also consider ink safety when you buy the branded paper cups. The water-based ink dry-out and will not contaminate beverages.

The manufacturer’s credibility is important because they must use sustainable solutions only. Bio Paper Cups practices sustainability and we only produce biodegradable paper cups.

The paper cups we make do not harm the environment and they are better for your business as well. With the millions of paper cups being thrown daily in the UK, we want to help the environment. You can read about how our products support FSC’s movement.
