A Coffee Cup Tray Making Machine is specialized equipment designed to manufacture molded pulp trays used for carrying multiple beverage cups. These trays are widely used in coffee shops, fast-food restaurants, and takeaway services to hold and transport coffee cups safely.
The machine uses recycled paper materials such as waste newspapers, cardboard, and cartons to produce eco-friendly cup holders. As global demand for sustainable packaging continues to rise, pulp molded coffee cup trays have become a popular alternative to plastic carriers.

One of the biggest advantages of a coffee cup tray making machine is its ability to recycle waste paper into valuable packaging products. Common raw materials include:
These materials are mixed with water in a pulping system to form paper pulp, which is then molded into durable cup trays.
The production of coffee cup trays typically involves four main systems.
Waste paper and water are processed in a pulper to create uniform pulp. This pulp becomes the base material for molded tray production.
The pulp is pumped to the forming machine where molds shape the pulp into coffee cup trays using vacuum suction technology.
Freshly formed trays contain moisture and must be dried. Drying methods include:
After drying, the trays are stacked and packed for shipment to beverage brands, coffee shops, and food service suppliers.
The trays are made from recycled paper pulp and are fully biodegradable, helping reduce plastic waste.
Waste paper is inexpensive and widely available, making production highly cost-effective.
Modern machines can produce thousands of trays per hour, ensuring stable large-scale supply.
Different molds can produce 2-cup, 4-cup, or customized cup holders depending on customer requirements.
Pulp molded trays provide excellent support for hot and cold beverage cups during transportation.
Coffee cup trays produced by these machines are widely used in:
They are especially common in takeaway orders where customers need to carry multiple drinks safely.
Suitable for small-scale businesses or startups entering the molded pulp packaging industry.
Provides moderate production capacity and requires fewer workers.
Designed for large factories with continuous production, automatic drying, and high output.
