Paper Cup

Paper cups are disposable cups made from paper and lined with plastic or wax to prevent liquid from leaking out or soaking through the paper. They are typically cylindrical in shape, with a lip to facilitate drinking, and a flat bottom that allows them to stand upright. Paper cups are used for hot and cold beverages, and can be found in a variety of sizes and designs. They are often used for single-use purposes and are an economical and hygienic option for serving beverages.
