The Manufacturing Process of Paper Cup Fan Blanks
The paper cup "fan" is the pre-cut, fan-shaped piece of paper that is rolled into a cone and becomes the body of a paper cup. Its manufacturing is a precise and automated process, primarily involving the following steps:
Raw Material Preparation: Large rolls of paper (paperboard) are used. This paper is often coated with polyethylene (PE) or polylactic acid (PLA) to make it waterproof.
Printing (Optional): If the cups require patterns or logos, this is the stage where the paper web is printed using flexographic or offset printing presses.
Lamination (If applicable): For cups requiring extra insulation or a different internal/external finish, an additional layer of film might be laminated to the paper.
Die-Cutting: This is the core step for creating the "fan" shape. The large roll of printed and coated paper is fed into a die-cutting machine. A specialized steel mold (die), shaped like a fan or trapezoid, stamps out the individual fan blanks from the paper web at high speed.
Waste Stripping: The leftover paper skeleton (the "matrix") from the die-cutting process is rewound and discarded for recycling.
Counting and Stacking: The correctly cut fan blanks are automatically counted and stacked into neat piles.
Packaging and Shipping: The stacks of fan blanks are packaged in cartons or shrink-wrapped to protect them from moisture and damage. They are then shipped to paper cup manufacturers.
At the cup factory, these fan blanks are fed into a cup-forming machine where they are rolled into a cone, the side seam is sealed, the bottom is attached, and the rim is curled to form a complete cup.
