LeapGreenCup™ — Paper Cups & Bowls | Custom OEM
The Paper Cup That Built Our Reputation
Paper cups are our highest-volume product line — and where precision manufacturing matters most. A cup seems simple until you're producing 180 per minute and every one must hold 90°C liquid for 45+ minutes without softening, leaking at the side seam, or transferring excessive heat. Three wall constructions, five cup sizes (4oz–20oz), five bowl sizes (8oz–32oz). All paper: FSC-certified virgin kraft. Coatings: PE (standard), PLA (EN 13432 compostable), aqueous (repulpable).
Wall Types — Single, Double, or Ripple?

Double-Wall
250–300 GSM combined. Engineered air-gap insulation — no separate sleeve needed. The industry standard for premium coffee shops globally. MOQ: 50,000. Lead time: 18 working days.
Ripple-Wall
240–280 GSM combined. 15% lighter than double-wall with comparable insulation. Textured outer layer provides premium tactile feel. Preferred by specialty coffee brands. MOQ: 50,000. Lead time: 20 working days.
