BioShield Compostable Paper Cups
Product Spotlights
Wuhan Century Kingxin Co., Ltd., established in 2018, is a dedicated manufacturer and exporter of eco-friendly disposable packaging. With annual exports of US$2.5–5 million and an overseas office, we supply high-quality BioShield Compostable Paper Cups to markets in North America, South America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. These cups combine practical performance with environmental responsibility, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic-lined cups without compromising on strength, insulation, or leak resistance.
Our BioShield cups are made from responsibly sourced paperboard and lined with a PLA (polylactic acid) coating derived from renewable plant starch. This design ensures full compostability in industrial facilities (meeting EN13432 standards), while providing excellent heat retention and a comfortable grip. Whether you run a coffee shop, a catering service, or an office breakroom, these cups help you reduce plastic waste and enhance your brand’s green image.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Are these cups truly compostable at home?
Our BioShield cups are designed for industrial composting facilities that maintain temperatures above 55°C for extended periods. In home compost heaps, degradation will be slower and may not fully break down within a reasonable time. We recommend checking local composting guidelines.
2. Can these cups hold hot liquids without leaking?
Yes. The cups feature a double‑rolled rim and a heat‑sealed PLA lining that creates a leak‑proof barrier. They are tested for hot water at 95°C for up to 30 minutes with no leakage.
3. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom printing?
For custom printed cups, the MOQ is 50,000 pcs per size. Plain white or kraft cups (no printing) have a lower MOQ of 10,000 pcs per size.
4. Do you provide free samples?
Yes, we provide free samples of plain cups. You only need to bear the freight cost (express collect). Printed samples are available for a small fee, refundable with bulk order.
5. Are the cups safe for microwave use?
The cups can withstand microwave heating up to 100°C for short periods (e.g., 1–2 minutes). However, we recommend transferring liquids to a microwave‑safe container if heating exceeds 3 minutes, as the cup structure may weaken over time.
6. What certifications do you have?
We are ISO9001 certified. Our cups comply with EN13432 industrial compostability standards and FDA food contact requirements. We can provide third‑party test reports upon request.
7. How are the cups packed and what is the lead time?
Standard packing: cups are bulk packed in clear poly bags inside export cartons (typically 100 cups/bag, 10 bags/carton). Custom retail packaging is possible. Lead time for plain cups is 15–20 days; for custom printed cups it is 25–35 days depending on artwork complexity.
8. Can I mix different sizes in one container to reduce shipping costs?
Yes, we allow mixed sizes per container as long as the total quantity meets the minimum volume (e.g., 20’ or 40’ container). Our sales team will help you calculate the best carton arrangement to maximize space.
