As a leading manufacturer with a strong commitment to sustainable packaging solutions, Wuhan Century Kingxin Co., Ltd. proudly presents our premium Biodegradable PLA Coated Disposable Paper Cups. Established in 2018 and serving a global clientele across North America, Europe, and Asia, we understand the evolving demands of the foodservice industry for products that are both practical and environmentally responsible. Our 12oz cup represents a perfect fusion of functionality and eco-conscious design, offering a reliable alternative to traditional plastic-lined cups without compromising on performance.
This cup is engineered for businesses seeking to enhance their brand image with sustainable disposables. The core innovation lies in its lining. Instead of conventional polyethylene (PE) plastic, we use a coating derived from Polylactic Acid (PLA), a biopolymer typically made from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane. This fundamental shift in material science delivers a cup that is designed to break down under industrial composting conditions, contributing to a circular economy. We operate under the stringent ISO9001:2015 quality management system, ensuring every batch meets consistent standards for safety and performance. Our annual export value of US$2.5-5 million underscores our capability and reliability in supplying high-volume orders to markets worldwide.
Key Features and Technical Advantages:
- Superior Eco-Profile: The PLA coating is industrially compostable, significantly reducing the environmental footprint compared to petroleum-based plastic linings. It represents a responsible choice for cafes, offices, and events aiming to reduce plastic waste.
- Excellent Functional Performance: Do not let the "green" label fool you. This cup provides robust leak resistance and a reliable barrier against both hot and cold liquids. It effectively prevents sogginess and maintains its structural integrity, ensuring a positive customer experience.
- Versatile Application: Ideal for serving a wide range of beverages. Its design is suitable for hot coffee and tea, as well as cold soft drinks, iced water, and smoothies. The neutral lining does not impart any taste to the drink.
- Brand Enhancement Tool: Available in standard white or customizable printing options. Featuring your logo or design on a biodegradable cup powerfully communicates your brand's commitment to sustainability, resonating with eco-aware consumers.
- Supply Chain Reliability: With our manufacturing base in Wuhan and multiple shipping ports including Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Ningbo, we ensure flexible and efficient logistics. Our 51-100 person team is dedicated to maintaining smooth production and timely delivery, even for large orders.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q1: Are these PLA-coated cups truly biodegradable?
A1: Yes. The PLA (Polylactic Acid) lining is designed to biodegrade under specific conditions found in industrial composting facilities. It is important to note that commercial composting provides the necessary heat, moisture, and microbial activity for timely breakdown, which may not be replicated in a home compost pile or landfill.
Q2: Can I use these cups for both hot and cold drinks?
A2: Absolutely. These cups are versatile and suitable for a range of beverages. The PLA coating provides an effective barrier for cold drinks like iced coffee and soda, as well as for hot beverages such as coffee and tea, typically up to temperatures around 85°C (185°F).
Q3: How does the cost compare to standard PE-plastic lined paper cups?
A3: PLA-coated cups generally involve a moderate price premium compared to traditional PE-lined cups, reflecting the cost of the bio-based raw material and its processing. However, this cost difference is often justified by the marketing and environmental benefits, and pricing becomes more competitive with larger volume orders.
Q4: Do you offer custom printing on these cups?
A4: Yes, custom printing is available. We can print your logo, brand colors, or specific designs on the cup surface. This is an excellent way to promote your brand while showcasing your commitment to sustainability. Please contact our sales team to discuss minimum order quantities and design specifications.
Q5: What is the lead time for production and delivery?
A5: Lead times vary based on order quantity, customization requirements, and destination. For standard 12oz cups, typical production lead time is 15-25 days after order confirmation. Shipping time depends on the chosen port and final destination. We provide detailed timelines with each quotation.
Q6: What certifications do your products have?
A6: Our manufacturing facility is certified to the ISO9001:2015 standard for quality management systems. This ensures consistent processes and product quality. Specific compostability certifications for the PLA material can be provided upon request, subject to the resin supplier's documentation.
Q7: How are the cups packaged for shipping?
A7: The cups are typically packed in sleeves (usually 25 cups per sleeve) and then placed in corrugated master cases. The exact count per case can be customized. We use sturdy export-grade cartons to ensure the products arrive in perfect condition.
Q8: Do you offer other sizes besides 12oz?
A8: Yes. While the 12oz is a popular size, we can produce PLA-coated paper cups in various capacities, such as 8oz, 16oz, and 20oz, to meet different menu and serving needs. Inquire about our full range of sustainable cup options.
