Double Wall Paper Cups Market Growth Opportunities

The ever increasing food and beverages industry and the safety associated concerns to the products during their transport are the factors expected to bolster the growth of double wall paper cups. The growth of these packaging systems is driven by the growing demands from food and beverages industries, as well as ease of use for end users. Due to the durability and hygiene of double wall paper cups, they are preferred by end-users, resulting into steady demand. The base paper for these cups is called “cup board” and they are manufactured on special multilayered ply paper machines and this paper has a waterproof barrier coating. 

Double wall Insulated Coffee Paper Cups feature a extra layer on the outside, a Heavy weight paperboard cup for extra insulation and a PE coated board on the inside, which provides a thermal barrier making them ideal for hot beverages like tea and coffee.

The Barrier Insulated paper cup offers high performance insulation.The specially-treated paper cup allows a steady warming of the fingers, ensuring the consumer is aware of the heat of their drink during enjoyment of their beverage.

Generally, single walled paper coffee cups used for hot beverages as take out coffee containers are available in sizes from 4oz to 20oz. They are manufactured from high quality food grade paper. Some of the big coffee houses started using these paper cups in place of plastic foam cups. Single walled paper cups are generally used in Europe and United states whereas in Australia, for example, many of the coffee retailers use double walled paper cups. Double walled paper cups is the best option for mobile drinks or take home drinks. 

These double walled paper cups are manufactured with an air barrier between the inner and outer wall that creates an insulated air pocket which will keep the drink warmer for a longer time and will protect the consumer from scalding in case the beverage is very hot. This will also offer stability facilitating movement with the drink. Double walled paper cups can be differentiated from single walled paper cups by indentation. The former has indentations at the bottom. To maintain the hygiene and meet various standards, paper cups are made from virgin materials which are not recycled.

Carrying beverages in double walled insulated paper cups is not just easy but also a convenient option. With increasing consumer demands for healthy and hygienic beverages, there is likely to be major opportunities for the manufacturers prevalent in the double wall paper cup industry. As not all double walled cups are biodegradable or recycled, a higher manufacturing cost could restrain this market. The end users in this industry are the food and beverage industries on a whole, where they can be used by beverage outlets, restaurants, fast food outlets, food delivery services and for individual home use. 

Who Made That Plastic Zipper Food Bags

“It seems hard to believe it now, but people did not know how to open the Plastic Zipper Food Bags,” Steven Ausnit, developer of the original Zipper, recently told an audience at Marquette University. He recalled that sometime around the early 1960s, his company persuaded Columbia Records to try a plastic sleeve with the zipper on top for albums. “At the final meeting, we were all set to go. The guy called in his assistant, handed her the sealed bag and said, ‘Open it.’ I thought to myself, Lady, please do the right thing! The more she looked at it, the more my heart sank. And then she tore the zipper right off the bag.”

Ausnit, who fled Communist Romania with his family in 1947, had been experimenting with plastic zippers since 1951. That was when he, his father (Max) and his uncle (Edgar) purchased the rights to the original plastic zipper, designed by a Danish inventor named Borge Madsen, who had no particular application in mind. They formed a company called Flexigrip to manufacture the zipper, which used a plastic slider to seal two interlocking grooves together. When the slider proved costly to manufacture, Ausnit, a mechanical engineer, created what we now know as the press-and-seal type zipper.

In 1962, Ausnit learned of a Japanese company called Seisan Nihon Sha, which had figured out a way to incorporate the zipper into the bag itself, which would cut production costs by half. (Flexigrip was attaching its zippers to bags with a heat press.) After licensing the rights, the Ausnits formed a second company called Minigrip; their big break came when Dow Chemical asked for an exclusive grocery-store license, ultimately introducing the zipper food bags to a test market in 1968. It wasn’t an immediate success, but by 1973, it was both indispensable and adored. “No end of uses for those great Ziploc bags,” Vogue told readers that November. “From holding games to keep the young occupied on the long drive to the mountains, to safe storage places zipper cosmetics bags, first-aid supplies zipper bags and stand up plastic zipper food bags. Even your wig will be happier in a Ziploc.”
