What are the advantages of using paper cups?

Sep 12, 2025

Advantages of Using Paper Cups
As a core category of disposable food packaging, paper cups offer multi-dimensional value in the food service industry, specifically encompassing the following areas:
1. Environmental Sustainability
Paper cups are made from recyclable materials, aligning with Zhejiang Jie Yu Plastic Products Co., Ltd.'s brand commitment to sustainable development. Their production process reduces reliance on non-renewable resources, and discarded paper cups can be recycled back into the production chain, reducing long-term environmental impact and aligning with the current market trend of "green consumption."
2. Optimized User Experience
Insulation and Safety: Paper cups have natural insulation properties, preventing cold drinks from losing their temperature quickly and preventing discomfort from direct contact with cold drinks, enhancing consumer comfort.
Portability and Ease of Use: Their lightweight design makes them easy to hold and carry, making them suitable for a variety of scenarios, including takeout, dine-in, and retail, meeting the demands of modern, fast-paced life.

3. Application and Functional Adaptability
Diverse Application Coverage: The paper cup design balances functionality and aesthetics, meeting the packaging needs of diverse scenarios, including catering, takeout, and retail.
Brand Visual Extension: The paper cup surface can be customized with printing, serving as a vehicle for brand communication and strengthening consumer awareness.
Choosing Paper Cup Sizes from Zhejiang Jie Yu Plastic Products Co., Ltd.
As a professional supplier of disposable food packaging, Zhejiang Jie Yu Plastic Products Co., Ltd. offers PET cold drink cups in a variety of sizes, including 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 ounces. When choosing a cup, consider the following factors:
1. Beverage Type and Volume Required
Small-Capacity Beverages: 7-8 ounce paper cups are suitable for small-portion drinks like espresso and short tea, meeting the need for "lighter drinking" and avoiding over-diluted drinks and waste.
Large-Capacity Beverages: 9-12 ounce paper cups are suitable for larger drinks, such as juices, smoothies, and coffee with milk, ensuring consumers receive a sufficient amount in one go and improving satisfaction.

2. Consumer Group and Targeting Scenarios
Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) Portable Scenario: For efficiency-focused scenarios like convenience stores and food delivery platforms, small 7-8 ounce paper cups are easier to hold and carry, aligning with the "grab and go" consumer trend.
In-Room Social Scenario: For dining in restaurants or social gatherings, large 9-12 ounce paper cups enhance the sense of ritual and customer experience.
3. Brand Visuals and Design Presentation
Size and Visual Balance: Small 7-8 ounce paper cups are more refined and suitable for high-end coffee brands; large 10-12 ounce paper cups are more visually impactful and suitable for mass-market beverage brands.
Printing and Logo Design: Consider the presentation of brand logos, slogans, and other design elements on the corresponding cup size, ensuring clarity and aesthetics, and avoiding loss of detail due to the smaller size.

4. Cost and Supply Chain Management
Procurement Costs: Raw materials and production costs vary for different paper cup sizes. You need to choose the size with the best value for money based on your budget.
Inventory and Logistics: Small-sized paper cups require less inventory space and lower logistics costs. While larger-sized paper cups may require larger purchases, the feasibility of warehousing and transportation must be assessed to achieve a balanced "cost-efficiency" balance.
