Custom Small Paper Cups

Custom Small paper cups are commonly used in Canada, and the moment a customer holds the cup, it tells a story. A brand that believes in quality. The brand that knows how to balance aesthetics and functionality side by side. Every leaked drop, crumpled bottom and blurred printed design creates a bad impression of your brand. 

At Waxpaperca, we manufacture mini paper cups, helping reduce these risks permanently. We use materials that provide top-notch structure to your paper cups. The heat-resistant base eliminates the requirement for additional sleeves or double cups. You can get your custom cups that comply with Canadian food safety laws.

Composition of Paper Cups 

Before selecting a small paper cup, you must be aware of the structural composition of the cup. A standard paper cup has a base material that creates its basic rigid structure. It also has a protective coating that acts as a barrier between the paper material and the beverage and protects the beverage from soaking into the cup. Select your cup material based on the usage, as the cup required for tasting samples would be entirely different from small paper cups for hot drinks. 

Base of Small Paper Cups

The base material for small paper cups affects the stability and the thermal insulation of your cup. We offer materials that are strong enough to maintain the shape when stacked. These cups stay in shape and save storage space as well. The most common materials are: 

• Bleached Paperboard: This is the white base that is ideal for printing in CMYK or PMS colour schemes. 
• Unbleached Kraft Paper: This is a natural, rustic base; an ideal organic option to make custom coffee cups. Single and dark colour prints look good on this base. 

Coatings

A plain paper base is likely to absorb liquids and collapse. To avoid this, special coatings are used. These coatings instantly make your custom small paper cups waterproof and resistant to any type of leakage. These are the most commonly used coatings: 

Combination of Base with Coatings 

Pairing the combination of the base material and coatings may result in unpredictable mishaps. As a small paper cups bulk manufacturer, we suggest the following combinations to our customers to ensure maximum stability of these cups: 

Wall Structure 

At WaxPaper, we provide you with different wall structures for your paper cups. The wall of the cup affects heat retention and determines whether there is a requirement for additional external sleeves or not. 

Single Wall Paper Cups

• Single wall paper cups use a single layer of paperboard. 
• Easy to print and gives vibrant finishes
• Economical option as the unit cost is lowest
• Offers limited thermal insulation and requires external sleeves when used as custom coffee cups 

Double Wall Paper Cups

• Double wall paper cups have a double-layered structure that creates a thermal barrier. 
• Layers create a rigid structure 
• No sleeves required 
• Quite heavier than single-wall cups

Ripple Wall Paper Cups

• Custom Ripple Wall Paper Cups Premium Structure 
• Textured or corrugated structure of the outer layer, creating a highly insulated thermal barrier
• Printing could be difficult because of the structure
