  Paper cups are generally divided into paper cold cups, paper hot cups and ice cream cups, with different materials and different uses. Customers should pay attention to the use of paper cups when buying paper cup products, and choose paper cups reasonably according to different uses.
  There are three main types of paper cups on the market: the first is made of white cardboard, mainly used to hold dry food such as French fries and popcorn, not water; The second type is waxed paper cups, which are waterproof and thick, and are usually used to hold cold drinks. They should not be used to hold hot drinks, otherwise the wax layer on the paper cup surface will melt and mix with food, affecting the safety of use. The last type is the film cup, which is the most widely used and produced by the most manufacturers. Film paper cup cup inside a single layer of film (generally PE film), there is no film outside the cup. Doused paper cup can be used for hot drinks, not recommended for cold drinks, because it is easy to form condensation water on the external wall of the cup, which will easily lead to softening of the cup body, stiffness decline, and paper cup is easy to be deformed.
