What is a plastic cup?

Material and Features

Plastic cups are made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a material with high transparency that clearly displays the color of the beverage, enhancing its visual appeal. The high transparency of the PET cup allows consumers to visually check the status of the drink in the cup, enhancing the drinking experience.

PET is lightweight and durable, making the PET cup lightweight and unbreakable, making it easy to carry and use. Its durability ensures it resists damage during daily use, extending the product's lifespan.

PET is environmentally friendly and recyclable, aligning with the concept of sustainable development. PET cups can be recycled after use, reducing environmental impact and meeting modern environmental standards.

Versatile Applications

Plastic cups are widely used for a variety of cold drinks, including carbonated beverages, juices, milk tea, and smoothies. Their versatility makes them an indispensable beverage container in the food and beverage industry and in everyday life.

PET cups are suitable for a variety of settings, including food and beverages, entertainment venues, and events, as well as for everyday drinking and entertaining at home. Their versatility meets the needs of different occasions.

Plastic cups come in a variety of capacities and designs, catering to varying drinking volumes and individual needs. Zhejiang Jie Yu Plastic Products Co., Ltd. offers a wide range of capacities and designs, ensuring customers can find the most suitable solution.

Cost Advantages

The low cost of PET material gives PET cups a significant price advantage. Compared to cold drink cups made from other materials, PET cups are more economical and suitable for large-scale use.

The low production cost of PET cups effectively reduces operating costs for the catering industry and event venues. This affordability makes plastic cups the preferred choice for many businesses.

The plastic cup offers a high cost-performance ratio, meeting both functional and economical requirements, making it an ideal choice for cold drink storage.

How does the plastic cup seal?

Ring Design

The plastic cup's rim is designed to fit snugly, perfectly fitting the matching lid and creating a secure seal. The carefully designed rim ensures a tight fit, preventing liquid leakage.

The tight-fitting design of the rim prevents spillage during transport, preserving the freshness and taste of beverages. Consumers can carry plastic cups with confidence, without worrying about spills.

The tight rim design also effectively prevents external contaminants from entering the cup, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the beverage.

Wall Thickness

The wall thickness of the PET cup can be customized to ensure both load-bearing and thermal insulation performance. Different wall thicknesses can be selected to meet different usage scenarios and needs, ensuring product stability and practicality.

The customized wall thickness allows the plastic cup to withstand varying weights and temperatures, further enhancing its sealing and practicality. Consumers can choose the appropriate wall thickness based on their specific needs.

The appropriate wall thickness design also enhances the PET cup's thermal insulation, maintaining beverage temperature and enhancing the drinking experience.

Sealing Performance

The plastic cup has an excellent seal, and when paired with the lid, it effectively prevents liquid leakage, ensuring that the beverage does not spill during transport. The seal has been rigorously tested to ensure a good seal in various usage scenarios.

Improved sealing makes PET cups not only convenient to carry but also helps preserve the freshness and taste of beverages. Consumers can use plastic cups with confidence, without worrying about spoilage or spills.

The improved sealing also extends the shelf life of beverages, preserves their flavor and nutrients, and enhances the consumer drinking experience.
