Choosing a 12 oz Double Wall Cup Making Setup for Kenya

This Kenya customer selected a plain white 12 oz double wall cup. We built the equipment recommendation around three decisions: the inner-cup material, a matched sleeve stage and a clear route from forming to collection.

Selected equipment: high-specification MYC-OCM12 + MYC-D Cup Sleeve Machine

The intended output is an assembled cup, not an inner cup alone.

Confirm the starting material

Record the inner-cup paper first

The customer’s inner-cup fans are 300 GSM. The selected cup capacity is 12 oz. Together, these give a starting point for reviewing the paper feed and cup tooling.

Our guidance: add the cup drawing and coating details to the specification. Do not carry the 300 GSM figure over to the sleeve material without checking it separately.

Select the forming stages

A 12 oz double wall cup making setup needs both jobs covered

High-specification MYC-OCM12 selected to form the Kenya customer’s inner cup — Inner-cup forming: MYC-OCM12.

Make the inner container

The high-specification MYC-OCM12 forms the single wall cup. We recommend finalising its tooling from the actual cup shape, not from the 12 oz capacity alone.

MYC-D sleeve machine selected to add the second wall in the Kenya setup — Outer-wall forming: MYC-D.

Specify the matching sleeve

The MYC-D adds the outer layer. Its sleeve setup should be reviewed with a formed inner cup, so the two parts are specified as one finished product.

Plan the connection

Include transfer and collection in the layout

The order is MYC-OCM12 → transfer station → MYC-D → collecting table. Our recommendation is to keep this route in the layout review, including access for loading paper and removing cups.

Overview used to plan the Kenya MYC-OCM12 and MYC-D machine connection — The project layout includes an intermediate station and a separate collection end.

Review the assembled product

Check the join between the two stages

Inner cup and sleeve positions identified on the MYC-D forming section — Review the sleeve against the cup it actually covers.

The source footage identifies the inner cup and the sleeve at the MYC-D stations. For sample approval, we suggest checking the sleeve position, cup rim and base against the agreed drawing.

The video shows finished cups, but does not give measured cup dimensions or a liquid-test result. Those checks should be agreed separately if required for your product.

Confirm the package

Define the equipment around the finished cup

The selected package combines inner-cup forming, sleeve forming, transfer and collection. A line trial should use the actual materials for both layers; a standalone machine speed is not a confirmed output rate for the full setup.
