A pulp-molded coffee cup holder is an eco-friendly packaging product designed to hold beverage containers such as coffee cups. It boasts numerous advantages and is widely used in the foodservice industry. Below is a detailed introduction to this product:

Ingredients It is primarily made from renewable plant fibers such as bagasse pulp, bamboo pulp, wood pulp, and waste paper pulp. These raw materials are widely available, environmentally friendly, and pollution-free, meeting the requirements of sustainable development.
Category Structurally, cup holders can be categorized into single-cup holders, double-cup holders, and quad-cup holders. Among these, both double-cup and quad-cup holders come in tearable and non-tearable varieties. From a manufacturing perspective, cup holders can be divided into dry-pressed and wet-pressed types. Dry-pressed cup holders are thicker, heavier, and generally have higher overall strength; wet-pressed cup holders, on the other hand, are thinner, have a smoother surface, and are lighter in weight.
Features ：
- Environmental friendliness Biodegradable and compostable, it can decompose in the natural environment after use, avoiding the long-term environmental pollution caused by plastic cup holders and aligning with today’s eco-friendly principles.
- Security Made from natural virgin pulp, this product contains no harmful chemical additives throughout the entire production process. It is non-toxic, odorless, and harmless to human health, making it suitable for containing food.
- Thermal insulation Pulp itself is a poor conductor of heat, and the molding process creates numerous tiny air pockets. The air trapped in these pockets inhibits the rapid transfer of heat, giving the material excellent thermal insulation properties that can prevent burns to human hands.
- Stability Through rational structural design—such as incorporating stiffening ribs and thickening the support layer—a three-dimensional, stable supporting structure can be formed, effectively bearing the weight of coffee cups and reducing the risk of beverages spilling or overflowing.
Production process First, the raw materials are mixed with water and crushed and stirred to form a uniform pulp. Then, using methods such as vacuum suction, the wet pulp is adsorbed onto a mold to take shape. Next, the molded wet trays undergo preliminary drying and further drying treatment. Finally, depending on requirements, they are subjected to hot pressing to make the surface and edges of the trays smoother, thereby completing the entire production process.
Application scenarios Primarily used in the food delivery industry for packaging beverages such as coffee and milk tea, it’s also suitable for restaurants, cafes, homes, and other settings, offering a convenient and eco-friendly way to carry drinks.
Product Specifications Dimensions and weight vary depending on the specific type. For example, the detachable four-cup holder measures approximately 230mm long × 185mm wide × 45mm high and weighs between 36g and 38g; the detachable double-cup holder measures approximately 220mm long × 110mm wide × 45mm high and weighs between 20g and 22g.
