Sytai Biodegradable Ice Cream Paper Cups

In today's increasingly competitive ice cream industry, the cup itself has emerged as a vital medium

for conveying a brand's philosophy. These 16oz Ice Cream Paper Cups Wholesale are custom-tailored for

ice cream parlors, dessert chains, food trucks, and takeout businesses.
The 16-ounce (approx. 473ml) capacity is market-proven: it comfortably accommodates a double scoop of gelato,

a generous serving of frozen yogurt, or an exquisite smoothie dessert. The scientifically balanced

ratio of diameter to height ensures the cups remain stable and upright when placed in

commercial ice cream display freezers, while offering a solid, substantial feel in the hand when served to customers.

The cups are crafted from FSC-certified, food-grade paperboard, featuring either a food-grade PE lining or a bio-based PLA coating.

Compared to traditional pure-plastic cups, these are recyclable or—in the case of the PLA-coated version—biodegradable

in industrial composting facilities; this feature is particularly crucial for businesses navigating the

increasingly stringent plastic bans being implemented across the globe.

This 16oz disposable paper ice cream cup features a design that pays meticulous

attention to both structural integrity and user experience.
First and foremost is the comfort of the grip: the single-wall construction—crafted from high-rigidity kraft

paper or white cardstock—effectively balances cost-efficiency with structural firmness. Even when scooping hard-frozen ice cream,

the cup walls remain rigid without buckling, and the base remains leak-proof.
A uniform PE waterproof coating lines the interior, effectively blocking condensation from cold beverages;

this prevents the outer surface of the cup from becoming soft or damp,

ensuring that customers can hold the cup with a clean and pleasant feel.
