Abstract
An insulating beverage cup is produced with an air containing film layer disposed on an inner surface of a food or beverage paper stock. The air containing film layer is extruded or laminated to the paper stock. An additional extruded or laminated layer is applied between the air containing film layer and paper stock layer. The insulating coating layer decreases the energy transfer between the beverage and the user's hands allowing the user to hold onto the cup for an extended period of time without causing user discomfort or pain. The exterior surface of the beverage cup remains highly printable and predisposed to high quality graphics.
