In most cases, a paper cup is suitable for both hot and cold. What is more important is the composition of the drink, the contact time with the liquid and the dispensing format. Below we offer some important tips for users on how to choose the right product that will fully meet your needs, among a wide range of names.
Drink and internal barrier
Carbonated, sour, very cold drinks with ice (due to condensation) are usually “heavier” to package. If the drink stays in the glass for a long time, the quality of the internal barrier becomes critical.
Menu volume
Start with 3 basic volumes and add a fourth only when there is stable demand. This reduces inventory and staff errors.
Comfort in the hand
For hot drinks, there are three practical options: single-layer + thermal belt, double-walled, or corrugated. If you need solutions “under the thermal belt/lid/mixer”, pay attention to accessories for paper cups, which are an important component for full-fledged work and provision of quality services in the complex.
Seam and bottom: places where problems most often occur
A responsible manufacturer of paper cups will always guarantee the quality of its products. In addition, it declares signs of normal quality: a smooth seam, a dry bottom after 10–15 minutes, a stable shape in the hand.
Do not rush to purchase a large amount of goods that have not been used before. First, order a small batch of a new product. The best check is practical tests on one set from the warehouse before a large order.
“Coffee to go” format
Disposable coffee cups are often used for sales in the “takeaway” format, because speed of delivery and a minimum of complaints are important here. Most often, the problem is not in the glass, but in the compatibility with the lid, so be sure to choose the lids and other little things along with the main product categories.
Bottom line: paper cups are chosen for the drink and the scenario, not “for luck”. This saves time and reduces the number of problems at the checkout.
