Two Easy Steps to Form a Handle   1. Works as traditional Cup Sleeve Simply use the PK Sleeve just like traditional cup sleeve and holding it with one hand. Even so, PK Sleeve provides a better thermal insulation to protect your hand.2. To Lift the Cup  Two Easy Steps to Form a Handle: (Besed on our experience, it is easier to  form the handle while the cup is nested) Step 1: Tear and pull up both strapsStep 2: Interlock the straps That's it !  Lift the cup now The Correct Way to Carry a Hot CoffeeWe have done hard researches to improve the strength of PK Sleeve just to let our users feel comfortable and safe while carrying the hot beverages. Please keep in mind that the PK Sleeve can withstand more than 2,700 grams which is about the weight of 6.5 times of 16 oz cup can fill.  The holding space is about 4.0 cm x 7.5 cm which is sufficient for 3 to 4 fingers to hold the handle. Therefore, the handle should be held with hand rather pinched with two fingers. https://www.pksleeve.com/hot_337898.html Two Easy Steps to Form a Handle 2021-12-17 2022-12-17

Mechanics of PK Sleeve Most people at the first sight of PK Sleeve will normally say "What a good idea !" . But they have never realized that inside the appearance it has taken years of research. The mechanics of PK Sleeve involves the study of strength of a narrow corrugated cardboard strap subjected to the combined stresses of tensile and shear. Until the invention of PK Sleeve, the corrugated cardboard has never been applied as a tension material since there are so many cheaper and stronger materials available. But since the PK sleeve is totally made of corrugated cardboard, to satisfy a liftable yet reliable function, a careful study is inevitable.The first PK Sleeve prototype, cut by hand, could not withstand 100 grams. Now, it can handle at least 2,700 grams and allow more than 500 times back and forth swinging while carrying 16 oz of coffee. So, It is not just a "good idea", it is a "technology"                       A Perfect Coupling of Aesthetics and Mechanics by NatureThere are at least 7 key technologies behind the looks. Ignoring any of them may result in the sleeve unusable, damaged, costly, or inconvenient to use. Corrugated cardboard used for cup sleeve is commonly consisting of a face liner( for printing), a base liner and a flute layer. It is a composite material and presenting anisotropic property in the aspect of strengths. It means that the tension and anti-tearing strengths are significantly different in machine direction and cross direction. In order to achieve the best performance of the straps, we have used three dimensional numerical method to analyze the stress distribution and developed a strap with gradient arc shape.  This particular shape would warrant the straps with the longest length and strongest strength. The bonus is when two straps buckled, it forms a beautiful handle. We have no intention to design the strap by this shape, it is called by nature. So we always said PK Sleeve is A Perfect Coupling of Aesthetics and Mechanics by Nature Single-loop versus Double-loop Handle Structure A liftable facility such as a plastic bag with two ears (loops). When we hold together these two ears it becomes a strong handle. If we tear off one of the fixed ends of each ear and tie the two straps together it will form a much longer single-looped handle than the oringinal (Double-loop). Therefore, the single-loop structure will generate almost twice the length than that of double-loop for the same sleeve size. This is important since for the regular size of cup sleeves, the double-loop structure can never provide sufficient space for lifting.Single-loop is weaker than Double-loop ? To most of the applications, single-loop structures are weaker than the double-loop. But It is not true in this application. Due to the configuration of the double-loop structure, the fixed-ends of the straps are comparatively rigid that would subjected to excessive moment stress when the cup is shaked or swinged laterally.  This moment stress will turn into a tearing force along the cross direction of the corrugated cardboard and damage the fixed-ends of the straps. The single-loop structure, in our design, at the end of the strap is similar to a hinged-end device thus minimize the moment stress. The hinged-end device is implemented by cutting an inclined  angle at the end of the strap. Unfortunately, the double-loop can not do the same due to the limitation by its configuration.PK Sleeve Allow Carring Two to Three Cups with One HandSingle-loop structure inherents a very flexible handle. The handle can be easily moved in all directions. Therefore we can carry 2 to 3 cups of coffee with one hand easily.  https://www.pksleeve.com/hot_337721.html Technology about PK Sleeve 2021-12-17 2022-12-17

Manufacturing Process of PK Sleeve Manufacturing process of PK Sleeves are similar to those of traditional paper cup sleeves, which including die making, printing, flute laminating, die cutting and gluing. But since the PK Sleeve involves strength issue, therefore the material testing and the strength tests of final products are included. Due to the existence of extra straps die line, the accuracy of every single process would need a higher standard.   1. Material testing Material testing includes : Grammage measurement, Water content, tension strength, tearing strength of the papers to be used. Papers will include the face liner, base liner and the flute layer. The strengths in the machine direction and cross direction will be tested separately. The testing methods are in accordance with the specifications of ASTM. Material testing is important since the papers may include many kinds with certain range of grammage such as kraft papers, white kraft papers, clay coated papers, etc. Since the papers are produced form Paper and Pulp Factories worldwide and same type of paper with the same grammage might perform differently in the aspect of strength. We tested the tension and tear strength to make sure that the final products will meet the standard before the mass production started. 2. Die-Cut Making A dieboard would consist of numbers of die module based on the size of the papers used. We will normally arrange as many as modules to lower down the cost. Unlike PK Sleeve, die-cut for traditional cup sleeve is relatively simple as picture shown below. As one can see, the dieboard is filled with ejection rubbers for PK sleeve. This is arising another problem. The cutting pressure would need to increase greatly in order to cut through the corrugated cardboard but when we do so the corrugated cardboard would be pressed too thin and the structure of flute medium would lose its major function - heat insulation. Therefore the control of the cutting pressure and the selection of the ejection rubbers are very important. 3. Printing PK Sleeves provide both sides for printing that can be a good advertising tool unlike traditional cup sleeves, in which one side is for gluing joint and normally left blank or for less important information. 4. Flute LaminatingThe corrugated medium is often 0.026 pounds per square foot (0.13 kg/m2) basis weight in the US; in the UK, a 90 grams per square meter (0.018 lb/sq ft) fluting paper is common. At the single-facer, it is heated, moistened, and formed into a fluted pattern on geared wheels. This is joined to a flat linerboard with a starch based adhesive to form single face board. We then joined a second flat linerboard adhered on the top of the first linerboard to form single wall corrugated board (3 layers totally), by a laminator. The first Linerboard is recycled paper and the second linerboard (face liner) may be kraft papers, white kraft papers or other preprinted papers. Common flute sizes are "A", "B", "C", "E" and "F" . Traditional cup sleeves normally use “E” flute. And this is also adopted for making PK Sleeves. 5. Die-cutting Die-cutting for PK Sleeve involves a high level of attention to detail and meticulous still this is not easy to master. Die-cutting technicians will need to try several cuts and adjust the pressure for each module by adhesive tape. PK Sleeve is sensitive to the thickness of the corrugated cardboard. If the pressure is too high it will press the cardboard too much and lower down the strength of the sleeves. Besides, a very thin cardboard cannot provide a good thermal insulation and lose the most important function of cup sleeves. On the other hand, if the pressure is too low it will not cut thought the cardboard and cause lots of problems for later folding and gluing process or even cause difficulties to our users while tearing off the straps. Therefore, we arranged different types of ejection rubbers to control the thickness of the products.   6. Folding and Gluing   This is the final stage of PK Sleeves making. The standard Gluing machine would encounter difficulties if there is no adjustment made. The machine is custom made for producing PK Sleeves only. With this machine, the folding and gluing process can be accuate and fast.To further illustrate how the gluing machine folds and glues PK Sleeves. We like to share a short film below. This is a test-run of gluing machine. The maximum speed of production can be up to 34,000 pieces per hour.One-stop manufacturing in Taiwanwe are one-stop manufacturer for PK Sleeve production. This would allow the impementing of quality control and lower down the cost. The film below contains :(1)process of transforming the coffee cup sleeve into Portable (2)factory operation:  https://www.pksleeve.com/hot_337816.html Manufacturing of PK Sleeve 2021-12-17 2022-12-17

Quality Assurance Program Traditional cup sleeves can tolerate a big range of manufacturing errors because they have only one purpose which is thermal insulation. PK sleeves , however, provide additional function which is liftable. Therefore, the quality management is very important to us and to our users.   We have established a Standard Operation Process to inspect and test the final products to make certain that the PK Sleeves will have the best quality when they are in our customer’s hand.   The following is the plan of our QA/QC. It is implemented and traceable for each batch of production.   1 Visual Inspection : At the end of the conveyer of gluing machine we eliminated some obviously damaged or largely misaligned products. This is easy to detect since they normally occur in groups due to certain malfunction of gluing machine. 2. Die Cutting and Gluing Quality Tests: Randomly pick 5 for every 100,000 products and nest them with paper cups to check the integrity of the products. The straps shall not pop out, the glued area shall not burst open, the pre-cut K-lines shall not split apart. Then fill the paper cups with broiled water to check if the glue can withstand the heat. After that, tear and pull the straps up, it should be easy and the edge of the straps should be smooth. 3. Strength Tests: The selected samples then tested for their static loading capacity and swing, vibration and impact durability. Product Standards and Testing Methods :                        Static Loading Capacity : 2700 grams minimum and last for 60 min. Swing Durability: Fill with 450 grams of water (about 95% of 16oz), the  PK Sleeve shall withstand 500 cycles of back and forth swing with a rate of 40 cpm and 30 degree of amplitude                                                           Vibration Durability: Fill with 450 grams of water, the PK Sleeve shall withstand 1000 cycles of vertical vibration with an amplitude of 0.5 cm                                   Impact Capacity : Fill with 450 grams of water, the PK Sleeve shall withstand free swing of 30 degree with an arm length of 70 cm, and impact to a rigid vertical surface laterally for more than 50 times.                                                                   Take a look at the video of Impact Test for PK Sleeve: Take a look at the video of Vibration Test for PK Sleeve:Take a look at the video of Swing Test for PK Sleeve: https://www.pksleeve.com/hot_337899.html Quality Assurance and Product Standards 2021-12-17 2022-12-17

PK Sleeve is a traditional corrugated paperboard cup sleeve with an additional function – “ it can be lifted “ through a handle that is teared apart from the cup sleeve body. How the PK Sleeve is invented ?   On the Christmas day of 2018, Paul carried a heavy bag and went into the convenience store to take out two cups of coffee, one for Kevin. The clerk asked Paul if he wished to buy a plastic bag for carrying the coffee. He declined it simply because it would become a garbage 5 minutes later. So Paul carefully held two cups of hot coffee by both hands, with the bag hanging on the left elbow, and walking out the store. After walking about 100 yards, his arms were so sour and both palms were suffering from unbearable heat. He needed a break eagerly and looked around to find a nice place to release the pain. All of a sudden, the phone rang. Paul intended to pick up the phone and caused the left hand crooked a little bit, the coffee was about to pour out. Instutively, his right hand came over to help and hit the left hand hardly. The coffee spilled out and burned his left hand. Paul, by instinct, loosened both hands and the coffee spilled all over the ground.   Paul, with nothing in his hand, despondently went to meet Kevin and told him what just happened. They were chatting about the topic: Why the coffee shops offered free cup sleeves, but they were unable to lift by fingers ? Why we need additional plastic bags, pulp trays, or paper bags to carry the coffee ? The same day, Paul and Kevin started conceiving and drawing the first funny prototype of PK Sleeve. Two years later, the portable cup sleeves were :      . https://www.pksleeve.com/hot_338549.html How the PK Sleeve is Invented ? 2021-12-17 2022-12-17

PK Sleeve – Reduce Waste and Cost Saving PK Sleeve is a Green product. The Clay Coated Liners are made of 100 % recycled materials and the corrugated layer is also known as a product of recycled papers. The printing ink used for PK Sleeve is vegetable based and VOCs free. The entire product is so called ECO-friendly.At present, there are many kinds of Portable devices on the market . These devices can be categorized into three groups:   Group I : Reusable with thermal insulation function. Expensive and require carrying by oneself Group II : Portable but no thermal insulation function. Made of paper cardboard or pulp. Some of them may need extra paper bag to keep it stable. Relatively expensive. Cup sleeves will still be needed for hand protection. Group III : Liftable but no thermal insulation function. Made of materials that may be hazardous to environment. Cup sleeves will still be needed. A Simple Arithmetic PK Sleeve is an environmental friendly product. For the case, when someone wishes to carry two cups of coffee, he needs only two PK sleeves rather then, for instance, 1 pulp trays + 1 paper bag + 2 traditional cup sleeves. It’s cost saving and waste reducing. https://www.pksleeve.com/hot_338716.html PK Sleeve - Reduce Waste and Cost Saving 2021-12-17 2022-12-17

PK Sleeve for Iced Beverages  Iced beverages include soda, iced tea and iced coffee. There are three major features for take-out iced beverages, i.e., (1).Bigger containers (2) heavier weight and (3)with ice.                           Hence, the PK Sleeve must be designed to accommodate the relatively large size and heavy weight. This is not difficult to achieve by simply modifying the configuration slightly so that the handle of PK Sleeve can provide a very comfortable length. The strength is still remaining it’s capability of carrying 2.7 to 3.6kg of weight under such modification. Although the size of cold beverage may go up to 800 grams (28 oz.), a minimum safety factor of 3.3 can still be maintained.   The real problem is caused by ice. The ice in the beverage will generate remarkable condense water outside the container say paper cup, particularly during the hot and humid summer time. Water is harmful to the paper products and so is to the PK Sleeves. To resolve this problem, we have applied a layer of waterproof corrugated cardboard to protect our products. The waterproof coating is conformed to the standards of food grade. It is quite easy to verify the effects from the picture below. The use of waterproof corrugated cardboard has made our PK Sleeves capable of applying in the cold beverage industries.  https://www.pksleeve.com/hot_339969.html PK Sleeve for Iced Beverages 2021-12-17 2022-12-17
