How PE Coated Paper Roll is Made into Paper Cups?

PE coated paper roll is commonly used in the production of paper cups because it provides a waterproof layer that prevents leakage of liquids. The process of making paper cups from PE coated paper involves the following steps:

1.Printing

The PE Coated paper rolls used in making paper cups are typically printed with a flexographic printing machine. The machine uses flexible rubber plates that are etched with the design, which is then transferred onto the paper roll. The ink used in printing is typically water-based and food-grade safe. Flexographic printing can produce high-quality graphics, images, and text on paper cups.

The printed PE coated paper roll is then fed into a rotary cutting machine, which cuts the roll into flat sheets of paper cup fan. The size of the sheets may vary depending on the cup size required.

3.Forming

The paper cup fan  are then fed into a cup-forming machine. The machine uses a series of rollers to shape the paper into a cylindrical form. The bottom of the cup is formed by folding the paper into a disc shape and then sealing it with a thin layer of polyethylene film. The polyethylene film provides a water-resistant layer and prevents any leakage from the bottom of the cup.

4.Sealing

The sealed bottom of the cup is then trimmed and cut to the required size. The top edge of the cup is then formed by rolling the paper outwards to create a smooth edge for drinking.

5.Curling

The top edge of the cup is then curled outwards to prevent spillage and provide a comfortable drinking experience.

6.Quality control

The finished paper cups are then inspected for defects or imperfections. The cups are checked for correct size, shape, and seal strength. Any defective cups are removed from the production line.

7.Packaging

The finished cups are then stacked and packed into cardboard boxes for shipping to customers.
