Biodegradable PLA Coffee Cups: A New Trend Among Consumers

In 1980s, paper coffee cups began to replace plastic foam cups due to growing environmental awareness. About a decade later, things changed again.

Meanwhile, according to a study launched by NRF, young consumers do care about more sustainable products.
 

Therefore, if you are considering customizing coffee cups for your brand, try to reach manufacturers who offer biodegradable paper cup solutions.

For example, Zidan, with over 30 years of experience in food packaging, provides tailored solutions for all your food and beverage packaging needs, regardless of the design or materials.

Beyond Sizes, What Else to Consider?

We have published a complete guide about disposable coffee cup sizes, click the link to learn more about it. When customizing paper cups, the size is just the start. Consider the following as well:

Double Wall or Single Wall Takeaway Coffee Cups

Paper coffee cups are primarily categorized into two types: single wall and double wall. The key distinction lies in their construction. Single-wall cups consist of a single layer of paper, while double-wall paper cups feature two layers, providing superior heat retention and enhanced insulation against high temperatures.

The single-wall coffee cups are more sustainable than double wall types since they consume less paper and are more cost-effective as well. If you choose the single wall packaging idea, using extra cup sleeves can counter the heat problem.

Custom Cup Sleeve for Single Wall Paper Cups

Choosing single wall cups can be a smart move for sustainability and budget. Far from being just a functional accessory, custom cup sleeves offer a fantastic opportunity to boost your brand presence and enhance the customer experience.

Printed Logo on Your Coffee Cup

Your coffee cup isn't just something to hold coffee; it's a walking billboard for your business. So, when you're putting your logo on it, think smart, not just pretty.
 

Your Brand, Front and Center: Make sure your logo, your colors, and that catchy phrase you use are all clear as day. No squinting allowed. If you're running a fancy, high-end place, a clean, simple design usually looks best. But if you're a speedy, bustling coffee spot, don't be shy—bright, bold colors will get noticed.

Smart Ordering, Smart Business:

Buy Big, Save Big: Don't nickel and dime on cups. Order in bulk. The more you buy, the cheaper each cup gets. It's just good business sense. Remember, Zidan paper packaging offers bulk discounts to help you out. Reach our sales team to get a tailored solution.
