Paper cups: Quality and functionality in everyday testing
Why paper cups need to do more today
Paper cups have long since become indispensable in the everyday lives of many businesses and events. Whether in restaurants, offices, events, or trade fairs – they not only have to reliably hold drinks, but also look high-quality and be sustainable. But what really makes a good paper cup?
In this everyday test, we at ProPacking explore this very question and examine how different paper cups perform in terms of quality, functionality, and environmental friendliness.
The requirements for modern paper cups
Various paper cups in sizes and designs
A good paper cup must do more than just transport liquid. Our customers expect:
- Stability even with hot drinks
- Dense coating for leak-proof use
- Attractive design for brand presentation
- Sustainable materials for a good environmental conscience
- Various sizes depending on the application
These factors form the basis of our everyday test.
The everyday test: Different scenarios, real requirements
We tested our paper cups in various everyday situations – including:
- Coffee counter in the office with several hundred hot drinks daily
- Catering at events where cold drinks were also served
- Sales to food trucks , where speed and quality count
- Trade fair appearances where the design had to be convincing
Stability is a deciding factor
A key factor: wall thickness . Thin models tend to become unstable when used with hot beverages. Our high-quality, double-layered paper cups performed exceptionally well here – even after extended use, they remained dimensionally stable and safe to handle.
Result 2: The lid must fit
Nothing is more annoying than a paper cup with an ill-fitting lid. Our test showed that the perfect fit between the cup and lid is crucial for safe transport. Combined with the matching lids from our range, our paper cups offer optimal protection – ideal for take-out businesses.
Design with advertising impact
For many of our customers, design is a key selling point. Whether with a custom logo, seasonal motif, or a simple design, our cups are perfect for printing. Tests showed that the advertising effect at events was measurable. Customers preferred attractively designed cups—a real competitive advantage.
Result 4: Environmental friendliness that convinces
Sustainability isn't a trend, it's a responsibility. Our paper cups are made from FSC-certified raw materials and are available with biodegradable coatings. In our test, customers clearly preferred these options – and they fit perfectly into existing recycling systems.
