Warnings:

  • Such a paper product is absolutely not suitable for hot drinks such as tea or coffee, because it is possible to burn your hands. In addition, boiling water is able to roll polyethylene inside the cup, which you used to give the product durability.
  • This hand-made article is not intended for long-term drinking. It is able for a short time to absorb the liquid and fall apart.
  • If you are planning to make a drink cup, do not use a material where something was written or printed, because the ink is capable of being absorbed into the water.
