What are the core product advantages of hollow paper cups?

2025-11-15

The hollow paper cup is a disposable paper cup with a "hollow insulation layer" designed in the cup body structure. It reduces heat conduction through air barrier and solves the problem of hot water in traditional paper cups when filling hot water. It is both practical and economical.
1. Heat insulation and anti-scalding, improving safety of use (core value)
The air in the hollow layer is a poor conductor of heat and can effectively block heat transfer: when filled with 80°C hot water, the temperature of the outer cup wall can be controlled below 40°C (the temperature of the outer cup wall of a traditional single-layer paper cup can reach over 60°C, making it easy to burn your hands).
It has a wide range of applicable temperatures: it can hold liquids from -10°C (cold drinks) to 95°C (hot water), and the outer cup wall is not prone to condensation at low temperatures (to avoid slippery hands).
2. High structural stiffness and stronger durability
The double-layer cup wall + hollow structure increases the cup body's resistance to extrusion by more than 30% (traditional single-layer paper cups are easy to crush), are not easily deformed after filling with water, and can be held for longer (suitable for office and travel scenarios).
The mouth of the cup is not easy to collapse: the double-layered cup mouth design (the inner cup wall and the outer cup wall are pressed together) are not easily deformed due to force when drinking (traditional paper cups with a single cup mouth are easy to collapse).
3. The appearance is highly malleable and suitable for brand marketing.
The outer cup wall can be printed on the full surface (no wrinkles, more complete patterns), and due to the increased thickness, the printing color is fuller (suitable for brand LOGO and advertising pattern display).
The texture can be improved by differentiating the material of the outer cup wall: such as using kraft paper, embossed paper (to create a retro style), or hot stamping and UV processes (to enhance the high-end feel).
4. The cost is controllable and the price/performance ratio is better than other insulated containers.
It is lighter than ceramic cups and glass cups (suitable for disposable scenes), and the cost is only 10%-20% higher than double-layer cups (without hollow) (but the heat insulation effect is improved by more than 50%).
The production process is compatible with traditional paper cups (only a "hollow layer forming" process is added), and the unit price can be controlled at 0.3-1 yuan/piece (depending on size and material) during mass production.
