Why Our Custom Kraft Paper Cups Outperform Standard White Alternatives

Cafe owners often deal with 'wall collapse,' when a cup softens after only ten minutes near steam. Our cups are made from high-density natural kraft board, so they feel thicker and sturdier. The textured surface also gives a better grip compared to the smooth, bleached finish of standard single wall cups. This goes beyond looks; it creates a sensory experience that shows your customers their drink was made with quality materials.

Natural Heat Insulation That Protects Your Customers

A common complaint in the coffee industry is the waste from using two cups at once. Our kraft material naturally insulates, so less heat passes to the outside. We still recommend using lids for safety, but our kraft walls often remove the need for a separate sleeve. This helps you save on inventory and reduce waste.

Precision Printing That Won’t Bleed or Fade

We use food-safe, soy-based inks that soak into the kraft fibers. On plastic-coated cups, logos can peel or smudge if condensation forms, but our printing keeps your logo clear and sharp. This matters most for logo paper cups, where brand recognition is key.

Built to Last in Busy Cafés

During the morning rush, your baristas need cups that separate easily and hold up under pressure. We tested our cups in busy cafés to make sure they keep up. The rolled rims on our Kraft line are reinforced for a secure, reliable fit with every lid.

If you use double wall paper cups for extra-hot lattes, our Kraft cups give you the same heat protection with a more natural, handmade look that today’s customers love. They stay quiet in car cup holders and won’t add a cardboard taste to your coffee.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Kraft Paper Cups

We’ve answered the most common technical and logistical questions from our customers to help you find the best option for your business.

Can these cups be used for both hot and cold drinks?

Yes, you can use them for both. They’re great for hot coffee and tea because they keep drinks warm, and the lining inside stops condensation from making the paper soggy, so they work well for iced lattes and cold brews too.

Are your Kraft cups fully compostable or just recyclable?

We have two options. Our standard PE lining can be recycled in most local facilities. If you want a cup that’s fully compostable, we also offer a PLA (plant-based plastic) lining that breaks down in industrial composting.

Do I need to buy specific lids for the Kraft series?

No, you don’t. Our cups use standard sizes. For example, the 8 oz, 12 oz, and 16 oz cups all have a 90mm rim, so you can use the same lid for all three and save space.

How does the "natural" look affect my logo colors?

Because Kraft paper is brown, lighter or pastel colors might look a bit darker or less bright. We suggest using bold, high-contrast colors like black, white, or deep green for the best results.

Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?

Yes, you can. We think it’s important for you to experience the texture and heat retention firsthand. You’re welcome to ask our sales team for samples so you can check the quality before making a bigger order.
