Eco-Friendly Paper Cups for Coffee & Takeaway Brands

Yes. All Papacko paper cups are made from durable, food-grade paperboard with a PE or PLA coating that resists heat and moisture. They maintain shape for hot coffee, tea, and chocolate, and remain condensation-proof for iced beverages and soft drinks served on the go.

Our eco-friendly paper cups use FDA-approved food-grade paperboard and PE or PLA liners for leak resistance and temperature stability. All materials comply with FDA food contact safety standards and are regularly tested for migration, odor and strength, giving importers confidence in long-term supply.

Absolutely. Custom printed paper cups are one of Papacko’s core services. We offer single-color or full-wrap designs using food-safe offset or flexographic inks, with pre-production proofing to ensure brand consistency. You can match your existing brand guidelines, seasonal campaigns, or private-label designs — learn more about our printing options on the Services page.

Papacko provides sizes from 4oz tasting cups to 22oz takeaway drink cups, covering espresso, regular coffee, milk tea, soda and dessert applications. The standard MOQ for custom printed designs is 5,000 pcs per design, and we support mixed-SKU export orders so distributors can combine different sizes and series in one container.

Production usually takes 3–4 weeks after artwork approval, including plate making and printing. Export orders to Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania typically arrive within 4–6 weeks depending on route and consolidation schedule. For repeat orders, lead times can often be shortened because artwork and tooling are already in place.

Papacko operates under strict ISO 9001:2015 quality management and ISO-certified procedures (dofollow) to ensure consistent safety and reliability for global export. Third-party tests by SGS confirm food-contact compliance, cup strength and leak performance, which helps distributors meet local regulatory requirements and audits.

Yes. Papacko uses recyclable paperboard and offers kraft and unbleached cup options for natural branding. PLA-coated variants support compostable initiatives, aligning with modern sustainability trends in food and beverage packaging. We can share guidance on how different markets handle collection and recycling so you can communicate clearly with your customers.

Yes. Our export workflow includes all documentation — packing list, invoice, origin certificate, and HS code — plus logistics coordination and shipment tracking. We can work with your appointed forwarder or recommend partners we already cooperate with. You can review our export process in detail on the Papacko Services page.

Of course. We provide paper and plastic lids, sleeves, cup carriers, stirrers and other packaging accessories that perfectly fit our paper cups. Ordering from one supplier keeps color tones, printing style and sizing consistent, which is especially important for franchise chains and multi-store coffee brands.
