Our Cups With Heat-Stable Kraft Lining Ensure Superior Performance

Our durable paper cups for beverages are crafted with a heat-stable kraft lining that keeps hot beverages insulated and prevents the outer surface from heating up excessively. This special lining ensures the cups remain comfortable to hold, while maintaining their structural integrity. Even when filled with piping hot coffee or tea, the cups stay firm and do not soften or lose shape.

Moreover, the thermal-resistant kraft barrier enhances durability and reinforces the cup’s inner walls, making it ideal for high-temperature drinks served daily at cafés, offices, and events.

Q: What kraft shade variations buyers should expect in large cup runs?

A: Natural kraft cups vary slightly in tone due to unbleached fibres. High‑volume orders typically show mild shade shifts, which is normal for authentic kraft stock and does not affect print quality.

Q: What print limitations exist when branding kraft paper cups?

A: Kraft absorbs more ink than coated cups, so ultra‑vivid full‑colour imagery is less sharp. Bold vector logos and dark inks deliver the cleanest, most consistent output on natural kraft.

Q: What cup wall thickness is ideal for hot drinks in kraft finishes?

A: 300gsm+ single wall works for warm drinks, but double‑wall or ripple‑wall kraft cups offer better insulation for high‑temperature beverages and reduce the need for sleeves.

Q: How moisture resistance differs between kraft and white paper cups?

A: Kraft cups use the same PE or bioplastic lining, but the outer natural fibres show wear faster in humid environments. This is cosmetic only and doesn’t affect liquid containment.

Q: What lid types fit kraft paper cups most reliably?

A: Standard PS or PLA sip‑lids fit 8oz, 12oz, and 16oz kraft cups with the same rim diameters. Buyers usually match 80mm and 90mm lids depending on cup size.

Q: How does kraft texture impact grip and handling?

A: The uncoated surface offers stronger hand‑feel and better friction than glossy cups, reducing slip risk during takeaway service.

Q: What temperature range kraft cups safely handle?

A: Quality kraft cups maintain structure up to 90–95°C. Above this range, double‑wall or ripple configurations outperform single‑wall builds.

Q: What customisation buyers prefer most on kraft cups?

A: Minimalist black line art, rustic typography, and negative‑space logos are most popular because they align with kraft’s natural aesthetic.

Q: How cup sizing tolerances impact lid fit in kraft runs?

A: Rim diameter tolerances typically stay within ±0.5mm. This protects lid compatibility across large orders and prevents leakage risks.

Q: What sustainability claims are valid for kraft paper cups?

A: Kraft outer walls are recyclable, but PE‑lined cups require specialist recycling. Buyers seeking genuinely compostable options choose PLA‑lined kraft versions.
