Key Product Features

Double-Wall InsulationDouble-Wall Insulation

Double-wall construction with an air-gap design reduces exterior surface temperature by up to 15°C, improving safe handling for hot beverage service.

Leak-Resistant Performance

Reinforced seam bonding is tested to a failure rate of <0.5% under ASTM D4169, while PE/PLA coating helps prevent liquid penetration for up to 4 hours at 95°C.

Sustainable Material Options

PLA-coated variants are industrially compostable under EN 13432, while water-based coated options support recyclability in standard paper streams.

Custom Brand Printing

Flexographic or offset printing supports up to 4 colors, with color accuracy controlled within ΔE ≤ 2.0 according to ISO 12647.
