Optima Cup Paper & PET drinkware from Türkiye

Paper cup production: videos from our own line

Our paper cups are made on our own line in Istanbul. The clips below show the line as it really runs, from reel feeding and printing to forming and dispatch preparation.

Every video on this page was filmed in our own production hall during normal running. No stock footage, no animation, no other plant.

How the line runs

The board reel is fed into the line and the cup wall is printed in up to six colours on the flexo unit. The printed board is rewound and taken to the cup machines. In the forming unit the wall and the base are joined and the rim is curled; the finished cups are counted and sleeved.

Cartons are palletised, wrapped and held in the warehouse in dispatch order. Manufacturing, quality control, packing and shipping all sit inside one company, so the buyer has a single counterpart.

If you would rather see it yourself

Buyers who want to watch a run before committing are welcome at the plant in Istanbul by appointment. An hour beside the line settles questions that several emails cannot.
