Disposable paper cup

A paper cup is a disposable cup made from paper and usually lined with plastic or wax to prevent the contents from leaking out or soaking through the paper. The cup is typically conical in shape and is used to hold hot or cold beverages such as coffee, tea, juice, or soft drinks.

 

Paper cups are popular in a variety of settings such as offices, restaurants, cafeterias, and outdoor events because of their convenience and low cost. They are also used in vending machines and fast food restaurants for drinks and snacks.

 

The paper used in making cups is typically made from wood pulp and is coated with a thin layer of plastic or wax to make it waterproof and prevent the liquid from soaking through.
