When choosing a paper Ice Cream Cup suitable for outdoor activities, the following aspects need to be considered:
Material characteristics
Waterproof: During outdoor activities, melting ice cream may produce liquid, so it is necessary to choose paper ice cream cups with waterproof coatings on the inner walls, such as coated paper cups, which can effectively prevent leakage and keep hands and the surrounding environment clean.
Stiffness and toughness: High quality paper ice cream cups should have sufficient stiffness to maintain their shape and prevent them from collapsing or deforming after being filled with ice cream. At the same time, it should have a certain degree of toughness to avoid easy tearing during the process of taking and passing.
Thermal insulation performance
Double layer or multi-layer structure: A paper ice cream cup with a double layer or multi-layer structure, with an air layer or insulation material in the middle that can provide certain insulation, slow down the melting speed of the ice cream, and allow it to maintain a low temperature for a long time outdoors.
Thermal insulation coating: Some paper ice cream cups are coated with thermal insulation materials on the surface, which have better insulation effect and can resist outdoor high temperature environment to a certain extent, extending the edible time of ice cream.
Capacity and size
Suitable food intake: Choose the appropriate capacity based on individual or group consumption needs. 3 ounces (about 88 milliliters) or 5 ounces (about 148 milliliters) are generally suitable for single consumption; If multiple people share, you can choose a cup with a capacity of 8 ounces (about 237 milliliters) or more.
Portability: Consider whether the size of the cup is convenient for carrying and placing. Cups with smaller diameters and moderate heights are more space saving, convenient to place in backpacks or picnic baskets, and less prone to tipping over.
Appearance and Design
Easy to access: The cup body with embossed or frosted treatment can increase friction, making it convenient to access and less likely to slip off. A design with cup ears or easy to grip is even better, especially in outdoor environments where hands may be wet or there may be debris.
Hygiene design: Choose paper ice cream cups with sealed lids to effectively prevent dust, mosquitoes, and other contaminants from contaminating the ice cream, ensuring food hygiene and making it easy to carry and store leftover ice cream.
