Paper cups
Customised paper cups
From coffee to soup, from soft drinks to ice cream: every paper cup must be leak-proof, sturdy, food-safe, and perfectly suited to your application. At Van de Velde Packaging, we combine high-quality, environmentally friendly, and 100% recyclable materials with advanced production expertise. The result? Consistent quality you can rely on—even at high volumes.
In collaboration with GKB International, part of Van de Velde Packaging and the largest producer of paper cups in the Benelux, we manage the entire process: from raw material to finished product.

Whether you are looking for a standard paper cup or a fully customised solution, we tailor every solution to your specific needs.
Our wide range of paper cups includes:
- Cups for hot beverages such as coffee, tea, and hot chocolate
- Cups for cold applications such as soft drinks, ice cream, and desserts
- Food cups for soup, snacks, and other prepared foods
- Single-wall and double-wall solutions
- Printed and personalised cups with your branding (available from 1,000 units)
Every paper cup is designed with ease of use, maximum stackability, efficient shipping, and attractive presentation in mind.
Environmentally responsible paper cups
In a circular economy, environmentally responsible packaging is essential. By choosing environmentally friendly, recyclable or reusable packaging, you reduce your environmental footprint, create a positive impact, and actively contribute to a more sustainable future. As a sustainability-focused packaging producer, this is one of our core priorities. It’s not only expected of us, it’s part of our DNA.
Our paper cups are made from high-quality cardboard, carefully tailored to the requirements of your specific application. Depending on the intended use, we select the most suitable coating:
- PLA coating: made from renewable resources, ideal for those prioritising renewability and compostability
- PE coating: provides strong barrier properties and can be efficiently separated during the recycling process
We work together with you to actively find the ideal balance between functionality, regulatory requirements, and environmental impact. You’re choosing more than just a paper cup—you’re choosing a sustainable solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are paper cups recyclable?
Yes, depending on the coating and local recycling streams. PE-coated cups can generally be efficiently separated during the recycling process. Van de Velde Packaging is happy to advise you on the best solution for your specific market.
What’s the difference between a PLA and PE coating?
PLA is made from renewable resources, and is often chosen as part of a sustainability-focused approach. PE offers strong functional properties, and is more widely recyclable within existing waste management systems. The right choice depends on your application and objectives.
Can you fully personalise the paper cups?
Absolutely. From printing to size and finish: Van de Velde Packaging customises each paper cup entirely to your brand and intended use.
Are large volumes a possibility?
Yes. Thanks to our in-house production capacity, we can supply large volumes with consistent quality and reliable lead times. Custom-printed paper cups are available from 1,000 units.
Do you also provide support with design and development?
Certainly. We collaborate with you from the initial concept through to the final product, including material selection, design, and production.
