When it comes to serving piping hot coffee or tea, Sytai Packaging’s Ripple Wall Paper Cups (also known as Corrugated Cups) provide the highest level of thermal protection on the market. Featuring a distinctive textured exterior, these cups eliminate the need for sleeves while offering a secure, non-slip grip. Designed for premium coffee houses and busy takeaway environments, our ripple cups ensure your customers enjoy their drinks at the perfect temperature without any discomfort.
The secret to the ripple cup’s superior performance lies in its sophisticated Triple-Wall construction:
Inner Layer: High-quality, food-grade paperboard that maintains the flavor and integrity of the beverage.
Insulating Middle Layer: A structured air pocket created by the corrugated design that traps heat inside the cup.
Ripple Outer Layer: A durable, textured kraft or white paper wrap that acts as a heat shield, keeping the outer surface cool to the touch.
Physical Advantage: By reducing the surface area in contact with the hand, the ripple design allows air to circulate, effectively dissipating heat faster than standard cups.
Sytai offers versatile configurations to suit your brand’s aesthetic and functional needs:
Ripple Patterns: Choose between Vertical Ripple (classic and clean) or S-Shape Ripple (modern and dynamic) to match your brand's personality.
Eco-Friendly Linings: Available with traditional PE lining, biodegradable PLA lining, or our 100% recyclable Aqueous (water-based) coating.
Heavy-Duty Build: These are our thickest cups, offering unmatched rigidity—they won't soften even after extended use.
Standard Sizes: 8oz, 12oz, 16oz, and 20oz, designed to fit all standard universal lids.
Unmatched Thermal Safety: Ideal for beverages served at 95°C - 100°C. It is the "safest" cup for customers on the go.
Superior Anti-Slip Grip: The textured surface provides a firm hold, significantly reducing the risk of accidental spills or drops in fast-paced environments like drive-thrus.
Premium Brand Experience: The 3D tactile feel of a ripple cup provides an immediate sense of luxury and quality that flat-surface cups cannot replicate.
No Sleeves Required: Save on inventory costs and storage space by using a single-unit solution that outperforms the cup-and-sleeve combo.
As a vertically integrated manufacturer with 20+ years of experience, Sytai Packaging provides:
Precision Corrugation: Our automated production lines ensure the ripple layer is perfectly bonded, preventing delamination or "peeling" at the seams.
Vibrant Custom Printing: While printing on textured surfaces is challenging, our advanced Flexo and Offset processes ensure your logo remains sharp and visible across the ridges.
Raw Material Advantage: Because we produce our own Paper Raw Materials, we guarantee the stiffness and heat resistance of the corrugated layer, ensuring the cup stays sturdy even in humid conditions.
Sustainability is at the core of Sytai’s innovation:
FSC-Certified Sourcing: We only use paper from responsibly managed forests.
Plastic-Free Options: Our Aqueous-coated ripple cups are 100% recyclable in standard paper waste streams, helping your brand meet global sustainability targets and plastic ban regulations.
Q: Are ripple wall cups more expensive than double wall cups?
A: Due to the triple-layer structure and the extra material used in the corrugation, ripple cups have a slightly higher price point. However, they provide the best insulation and eliminate the need for sleeves, often making them more cost-effective for premium service.
Q: Can I print my logo on the textured surface?
A: Yes! We specialize in custom-printed ripple cups. We recommend bold logos and high-contrast designs for the best visual impact on the textured surface.
Q: Which ripple pattern provides better insulation?
A: Both Vertical and S-Shape ripples provide identical insulating properties. The choice is primarily aesthetic—Vertical ripples offer a traditional "industrial" look, while S-Shape ripples offer a more fluid, modern design.
