3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this specification, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
paper cup
cup-shaped paper container made of base paper by coating (wax) or doused (coated) film, or doused (coated) film and then combined with other materials, printing, cross-cutting, forming and other processes
Note: Printing is not a necessary process. If printing is not required, this process can be omitted.
3.2
paper cup for direct drinking liquid
paper cup in which liquids can be drunk without the need for other auxiliary tools
3.3
paper cup for packaging container
paper cup used as packing container for liquid and solid food, other auxiliary tools (such as spoons, straws, etc.) are needed to hold liquid food before drinking (eating)
4 Rating and Classification
4.1 Paper cups can be classified into superior products, first-grade products and acceptable products in terms of the quality grade.
4.2 Paper cups can be classified into paper cup for direct drinking liquid and paper cup for packaging container in terms of their functions.
4.3 Paper cups can be classified into cold drinking cups, hot drinking cups, ice cream cups, yogurt (milk) cups and solid food cups.
5 Requirements
5.1 Sensory indexes
5.1.1 The mouth and bottom of paper cups shall not sag and wrinkle; doused (coated) film layer, coating (wax) layer shall be uniform, cup body shall be clean without foreign matter.
5.1.2 The printing pattern of paper cups shall be clear in outline, uniform in color and without obvious color spots. The cups shall not be printed within 15 mm (excluding 15 mm) of the cup mouth. Capacity marks with total length not exceeding 10 mm can be printed within 15 mm (excluding 15 mm) of the cup mouth.
Note: The requirement of "shall not be printed within 15 mm (excluding 15 mm) of the cup mouth" is only applicable to drinking paper cups, but not applicable to paper cups for packaging container.
5.2 Capacity deviation
Capacity deviation of paper cups shall meet those specified in Table 1.

Superior product First-grade product Acceptable product
V2 ≤ 300 ±3.0 ±4.0 ±5.0
300 < V2 ≤ 500 ±2.5 ±3.5 ±4.5
V2 > 500 ±2.0 ±3.0 ±4.0
5.3 Physical properties
5.3.1 Leakage resistance of paper cup: the bottom and side shall not leak (liquid), seepage (liquid).
Note: Paper cups for solid food are not tested for leakage resistance.
5.3.2 The body stiffness of paper cup shall meet those specified in Table 2.
