What is a Double Wall Paper Cup?

A double wall paper cup uses two layers of food-grade paperboard bonded together with a trapped air pocket between them, instead of one ply wrapped in a separate sleeve. GreenPack India India builds this double layer paper cup construction so the outer surface stays cool to hold even with a 90°C+ fill, cutting out the sleeve entirely. Buyers ordering for retail tea and coffee counters often ask for it as a double wall paper glass same product, different name on the PO.

Key Features – Double Wall Paper Cups:

These are the main reasons why double wall paper cups are preferred for hot drinks:

  •  Dual-Layer Insulation: Two walls with an air pocket make a thermal barrier. This is called dual layer insulation.  It keeps drinks warmer for longer by stopping heat from escaping quickly.
  • Comfort Grip: The outer wall stays cool, making it easy to hold even when filled with hot liquid. It removes the need for an extra sleeve.
  • Leak-Proof Design: A strong seam and high-quality coating ensure zero leakage or sogginess.
  • Sturdy Construction: The cup is made of high-quality paperboard, so it keeps its shape and strength even after being used for a long time.
  • Smooth Finish: The outside layer is clean and printable, making it great for custom logos and branding.
  • Eco-Friendly Options: Available with PLA or PE coatings, these cups are recyclable and suitable for sustainable packaging.
  • Available Sizes: There are small 6oz double wall paper cups for espresso and larger 16oz cups for lattes and other big drinks.
