The production process turns PE-coated paper into finished cups through cup wall forming, side sealing, bottom forming, and bottom knurling. Therefore, paper weight, PE coating, cup dimensions, and required output all affect the machine configuration.
For 3 to 16 oz cups, different models handle different paper specifications and production speeds. YG-800 runs at 65–75 pcs/min, while YG-C800 reaches 70–80 pcs/min and YG-S800 reaches 75–85 pcs/min. In addition, a high-speed configuration can reach 100–120 pcs/min for higher output requirements.

YG-800 YG-C800 and YG-S800 Compared
All three models produce 3–16 oz cups, but their production conditions differ. YG-800 handles a narrower paper weight range, whereas YG-C800 accepts 150–300 gsm ±20 gsm one-sided PE coated paper. Meanwhile, YG-S800 supports 160–300 gsm ±20 gsm paper and works with either one-sided or two-sided PE coating.
More specifically:
- YG-800: 65–75 pcs/min with 150–180 gsm ±20 gsm one-sided PE coated paper
- YG-C800: 70–80 pcs/min with 150–300 gsm ±20 gsm one-sided PE coated paper
- YG-S800: 75–85 pcs/min with 160–300 gsm ±20 gsm one-sided or two-sided PE coated paper
The sealing systems also differ between the models. YG-800 uses copper bar heating for side sealing, while YG-C800 and YG-S800 use Evergreen Ultrasonic. For bottom knurling, YG-800 and YG-C800 use heating, whereas YG-S800 uses a hot air system.
Paper Cup Forming Process
A paper cup forming machine takes prepared PE-coated paper through several connected production steps. First, the machine feeds the paper and forms the cup wall. Next, it seals the side joint and forms the bottom. Finally, bottom knurling completes the cup before the machine discharges the finished product.
The main production sequence includes:
- Paper feeding
- Cup wall forming
- Side sealing
- Bottom forming
- Bottom knurling
- Finished cup discharge
Meanwhile, the mold determines the finished cup dimensions. Therefore, the top diameter, bottom diameter, and cup height need to match the required cup size when preparing the machine configuration.
Paper Cup Making Machine for Different PE Coated Paper
Paper weight and PE coating directly affect material compatibility. For this reason, each model covers a specific paper range.
YG-800 and YG-C800 process one-sided PE coated paper. The former handles 150–180 gsm ±20 gsm, while the latter handles 150–300 gsm ±20 gsm. In comparison, YG-S800 handles 160–300 gsm ±20 gsm and supports either one-sided or two-sided PE coated paper.
For double PE coated paper, YG-S800 provides the applicable standard configuration within the stated material range. However, buyers should still confirm the actual paper specification before selecting the machine.
Side Sealing and Bottom Forming
The three models use different methods for cup side sealing and bottom knurling:
| Model | Side Sealing | Bottom Knurling |
| YG-800 | Copper bar heating | Heating |
| YG-C800 | Evergreen ultrasonic | Heating |
| YG-S800 | Evergreen ultrasonic | Hot air system |
On YG-800, copper bar heating seals the cup side. By comparison, YG-C800 and YG-S800 use Evergreen Ultrasonic for this step. At the bottom, YG-800 and YG-C800 use heating, while YG-S800 uses a hot air system.
As a result, the sealing and bottom forming setup varies according to the selected model and compatible paper specification.
High Speed Paper Cup Machine 100–120 pcs/min
For production lines that require higher output, the high-speed configuration can reach 100–120 pcs/min.
However, output speed is only one part of the machine configuration. The final setup also depends on the required cup size, paper specification, PE coating, voltage, and production conditions. Therefore, buyers should confirm the complete configuration instead of selecting a machine from speed alone.
For a high-speed configuration, provide:
- Cup size and dimensions
- Paper weight in gsm
- One-sided or two-sided PE coating
- Required output
- Local voltage and frequency
Once these details are available, YG can match the production requirements with the applicable machine configuration.
Custom Machine and Cup Molds
Different cup sizes require corresponding forming molds. Therefore, the machine and mold configuration can be prepared according to the finished cup dimensions and production requirements.
For a custom configuration, provide:
- Cup capacity
- Top diameter
- Bottom diameter
- Cup height
- Paper gsm
- PE coating type
- Required production speed
- Local voltage and frequency
For non-standard cup sizes, a cup drawing or complete dimensions can further clarify the mold requirements. Based on these details, YG can determine the corresponding forming setup.p sizes, a cup drawing or complete dimensions can further clarify the mold requirements. YG can then use the specified dimensions to determine the corresponding forming setup.
Paper Cup Machine Price
Several factors affect the final machine price, including the model, mold, production speed, paper specification, PE coating, and machine configuration. In particular, cup capacity alone does not determine the price because different cup dimensions may require different molds.
For a quotation, provide the following information:
- Cup size: capacity, top diameter, bottom diameter, and height
- Paper specification: gsm and PE coating type
- Production output: required pcs/min
- Power supply: local voltage and frequency
After receiving these specifications, YG Machinery can confirm the suitable machine and mold configuration and provide the corresponding price within 24 hours.
