Disposable Paper Cups

Ekoroll disposable paper cups are wholesale paper cup solutions for cafés, coffee chains, takeaway businesses and horeca distributors across Europe and international markets. Available in single wall, double wall, kraft and ripple wall formats, all Ekoroll paper cups are produced with water-based coating instead of conventional PE or PLA lining — making them fully recyclable in standard paper streams and compatible with next-generation plastic-free lid systems.

For operations requiring a fully integrated plastic-free cup system, Ekoroll paper cups can be paired with compostable molded fiber lids as a complete cup and lid solution. For operations seeking an integrated lid format with no separate lid required, explore our lid-free hot paper cups and lid-free cold paper cups.

Why Water-Based Coating Matters

Most disposable paper cups on the market use PE (polyethylene) or PLA (polylactic acid) lining to make them liquid-resistant. PE is a fossil-derived plastic. PLA is a bio-based plastic. Both prevent the cup from being recycled in standard paper streams and have been documented to release microplastic particles into hot beverages during use.

Ekoroll disposable paper cups use water-based coating — a plant-derived barrier technology that provides the same liquid and heat resistance as PE lining without any plastic content. This means:

• Fully recyclable in standard paper recycling streams — no specialist infrastructure required
• No microplastic release into beverages under normal use conditions
• Compatible with compostable lid systems for a complete plastic-free cup solution
• EU packaging regulation aligned for current and upcoming requirements
• PFAS-free — no per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance contamination

Paper Cup Formats

Ekoroll supplies disposable paper cups across the four main formats used in European café and horeca operations. All formats are available with water-based coating and custom printing.

Single Wall Paper Cups

Single wall paper cups are the standard format for espresso, coffee and cold beverage service. Their lightweight construction makes them the most cost-efficient option for high-volume café and takeaway operations.

Best suited for: coffee shops, offices, vending operators, bakeries and high-volume takeaway service where cost per serve is a primary consideration.

Kraft Paper Cups

Kraft paper cups feature a natural unbleached brown exterior that communicates an environmentally conscious brand identity. The kraft finish is widely associated with sustainable and specialty café positioning across European markets.

Best suited for: specialty coffee shops, eco-focused cafés, farm-to-table restaurants and premium takeaway brands building a natural brand aesthetic.

Double Wall Paper Cups

Double wall cups use a dual-layer construction that provides significantly improved heat insulation compared to single wall formats. The air gap between the two layers reduces heat transfer, protecting customers' hands while maintaining beverage temperature for longer.

Best suited for: premium cafés and takeaway coffee chains serving hot specialty drinks where customer comfort and cup presentation are priorities.

Ripple Wall Paper Cups

Ripple wall cups incorporate a textured outer layer that provides enhanced insulation and a distinctive premium grip. The corrugated ripple structure is visually distinctive and communicates a premium positioning at point of service.

Best suited for: specialty coffee service, premium takeaway operations and café brands where cup presentation is an important part of the customer experience.

Standard Cup Sizes

All Ekoroll paper cup formats are available across the standard size range used in European café and horeca operations.

• 4 oz — espresso and small hot beverages
• 8 oz — standard coffee servings and americano
• 12 oz — medium takeaway drinks and flat white
• 16 oz — large coffee, specialty beverages and cold drinks
• 20 oz — extra large cold drinks and specialty beverages

Custom Printed Paper Cups

Ekoroll supplies custom printed paper cups for café brands, coffee chains and horeca distributors requiring branded takeaway cup solutions. Custom printing is available across all four cup formats and across the standard size range.

• Full wrap and spot printing available depending on format and volume
• Any file format accepted — AI, PDF, JPG, PNG or raw design concepts
• MOQ for custom printing: 10,000 units
• Design support available for brands without existing cup artwork

Compatible Lid Systems

Ekoroll disposable paper cups are compatible with both conventional and next-generation plastic-free lid formats, giving buyers flexibility depending on their sustainability program requirements.

• Compostable molded fiber lids — certified compostable alternative to plastic snap-on lids, compatible with standard cup rim sizes
• Conventional plastic lids — standard snap-on lids available for operations not yet transitioning to plastic-free lid formats

For operations seeking a complete plastic-free beverage system without a separate lid, our lid-free hot paper cups integrate the closure directly into the cup structure.
