Generally speaking, disposable paper cups are often stacked together and sealed in plastic packaging during the sales process. Although they can be seen and touched, most people don’t know the quality. So how to test the quality of disposable paper cups? The editor of Guangdong Paper Cup Factory will tell you about it.
1. Look at the packaging and labels: Generally, paper cups should be sealed in plastic packaging bags, and the packaging bags should not be damaged. Paper cups that are not tightly packaged are easily polluted by the environment, and hygiene cannot be guaranteed. The product packaging should indicate the name and address of the manufacturer, the implementation standard of the product, the date of production, and the expiration date. The technical performance of paper cup products should implement the “Paper Cup” standard, and can also implement enterprise standards. However, the hygienic indicators must implement the “Hygienic Standards for Base Paper for Food Packaging”.
2. Check the appearance: The appearance of the paper cup should be quite wide and should not be deformed. In addition, choose paper cups with better cup body stiffness. Paper cups with poor body stiffness are very soft when squeezed by hand. After pouring water or beverages, they will be severely deformed when picked up, or even cannot be picked up, which will affect the use. When choosing a paper cup, you can gently squeeze the sides of the cup with your hands, and you can roughly know the stiffness of the cup body.
Pay attention to the hygiene of the paper cups: the cups are in direct contact with the mouth, so hygiene is particularly important. GB11680-1989 “Hygienic Standards for Base Paper for Food Packaging” has corresponding regulations on the content of heavy metals, fluorescent whitening agents and some pathogenic bacteria. The health status of paper cups can only be accurately tested in the laboratory. Consumers cannot judge from the appearance, but to buy products from regular manufacturers through regular channels, the hygienic status can generally be guaranteed.
