Kraft Cup Drink Carrier with Handles solves the problem of beverage transportation through multi-dimensional innovation. Its solution integrates the deep logic of material science, ergonomics and scene adaptation. In terms of structural design, the carrier adopts an independent cup holder system, and each cup position is physically isolated by a precision die-cut arc groove or corrugated cardboard support. This design not only prevents the direct contact between adjacent cups and causes collision and rollover, but also adapts to different cup diameters (such as standard cups of 8-22 ounces) through the elastic deformation of the groove. The cup holder layout has been optimized through fluid mechanics simulation, and the symmetrical arrangement of 2x2 or 3x2 ensures that the overall center of gravity is stable at the geometric center of the carrier, and it can maintain balance even when fully loaded with 6 cups of beverages. The specially designed anti-slip pattern on the bottom adopts a micron-level embossing process, and the friction coefficient on smooth surfaces (such as marble countertops) is 40% higher than that of ordinary cardboard, effectively preventing accidental sliding during transportation.
The handle design breaks through the load-bearing limitations of the traditional single handle and adopts an ergonomic double grip structure. The grip height is set to 12-15 cm after ergonomic calculations, matching the elbow height of Asians, so that the forearm naturally droops to form a labor-saving lever. The connection adopts a honeycomb cardboard reinforcement structure, and the stress is dispersed to the entire carrier through a 45-degree bevel lock design. It can withstand a static load of 12 kg without deformation. Some high-end models even introduce a foldable handle design, using a memory metal spring sheet to achieve one-handed opening and closing. The thickness after folding is only 1.8 cm, and the storage space utilization rate is increased by 60%.
In terms of material selection, Kraft kraft paper is specially treated and covered with food-grade PE coating on the surface, meeting the GB 4806.8-2016 food contact material standard. The three-layer composite structure (face paper + corrugated core + bottom paper) gives the carrier excellent compressive resistance. After testing by the MIT burst tester, it can withstand 800kPa pressure without breaking. In terms of environmental protection, the carbon footprint of the entire carrier is only 1/5 of that of the EPS foam carrier of the same specification, and it is 100% recyclable and recyclable, meeting the EU EN 13432 biodegradable standard.
In actual applications, this carrier shows strong scene adaptability. In the takeaway delivery scene, the rider can hold 4 cups of hot drinks (total weight of about 6kg) in one hand and keep riding for 30 minutes without spilling; in a business meeting, the service staff can carry 8 cups of cold drinks (including ice cubes) through narrow passages at one time; in the family scene, consumers can easily carry a mixed drink combination for the whole family. The measured data of an international coffee chain brand shows that after using this carrier, the breakage rate of drinks during delivery has dropped from 3.2% to 0.8%, and customer satisfaction has increased by 18%.
