Embossed Coffee Cups

Pando's Paper Coffee Cup Design Insulates and Provides a Good Grip

As a producer of single-use takeout paper coffee cups, Pando International recently unveiled the Embossed product family. The line of cups for restaurant and beverage businesses is designed as an alternative to paper cup sleeves and double-walled cups. By using a textured layer of material on the outside of the coffee cup, this creates additional insulation and a slip-free area for the fingers to grip without being burned.

By using this Pando paper coffee cup, brands are able to cut costs, since only a single product is required, as opposed to a coffee cup and an insulating sleeve.

The embossed patterns on the cups are completely customizable, which makes the custom printing options even more enticing for brands. As well as being extremely economical, the cups can be coated in PLA to make them fully compostable.
