Technical characteristics
Green Field production premisses
We have built our production facility in the Kyiv region, in Hostomel — a town that, along with nearby Bucha, became widely known around the world because of the war. STEP BY STEP PAPER CUPS PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY
- Paper The paper we use is supplied from Europe in large reels. The raw material originates mainly from Scandinavian countries such as Sweden and Finland, where the climate is ideal — wet and cold enough that the wood grows slowly, producing the highest-quality cellulose. These countries have dedicated forest plantations and a well-developed forestry industry. They are also committed to environmental sustainability, planting seven trees for every one harvested.
- Cutting into sheets The offset printing technology we use requires us to cut the large reels into sheets. This allows us to produce each customer's design in relatively small quantities — up to 5,000 pieces per print run.
- Printing To start printing, we need to separate the artwork into individual colors using CMYK or Pantone. Each color is then applied separately to its own aluminum plate. Printing is the second step, after cutting — which is obvious to professionals, but worth explaining to everyone else. Sometimes clients ask us to simply place a small logo on a white cup. We explain that it doesn't work that way: the design has to be printed on the flat white sheet before the cup is formed.
- Punching of blanks Special equipment, such as a die-cutting machine, punches the printed paper into blanks of the specific cup size.
- Printing The design is printed on the paper sheet, which contains from 5 to 24 blanks, depending on the cup size.
- Cup “twisting” The machine cuts out the bottom piece and forms the blank into a cup shape. Glue is not used — the parts are joined by heat-sealing the laminated (PE) layer.
Materials and Suppliers for Paper Cup Production
Paper, or more correctly, cellulose cardboard, is the basis for this business. As an educational note for our customers, we want to let you know that, unfortunately, no manufacturer currently produces base paper for cups in Ukraine. We would be very happy to support a Ukrainian manufacturer, but unfortunately this is unlikely to happen in the near future.
The fact is that cups require very high-quality, flexible, and pliable paper with a high cellulose content (up to 90%). For this, special tree species with dense wood — mainly larch — are used, as this tree grows slowly in cold climates. Unfortunately, Ukraine's climate is not entirely suitable for this.
The best growing conditions are found on the Scandinavian Peninsula — Finland and Sweden — a region also known as the territory of "green gold."
