Our ever-popular Art Series Cups always spark conversations with customers who are curious about the designs. We have an enormous amount of talented artists across the globe who submit their artwork to be featured on our cups, and it’s always so special to see when they find ‘their cup’ at their local coffee shop.
Aqueous is a new cup coating technology that uses a water-based coating to coat coffee cups. The coating is printed like water-based ink, allowing it to be absorbed into the paper fibres, rather than sitting on top as an additional layer. This reduces the amount of material needed – while still providing the same leak and grease-proof benefits as other coatings. These dispersion paper cups are certified home compostable to AS5810 standards and certified industrially compostable to European (EN13432) and Australian standards (AS4736).
These art series coffee cups are almost identical to our regular art cups but feature a double wall for extra protection. Our double wall art cups are great for hotter drinks like long blacks or tea and do the same job as a cup sleeve. You can tell a double wall cup from a single wall by the ridges on the outside of the cup, which don't take away from the beauty of the unique art design.
If you're striving for more sustainable business practices, it's important to consider that the extra layer in this insulated cup increases the environmental impact of the paper cup both in production and transportation. Still, they are a much more environmentally friendly option compared to conventional plastic lined cups.
