Abstract:
1. A method for forming a disposable cup with a straw, the method comprising: providing a blank for a cup including: rolling the body portion to form a cup body so that the outer surface of the first extending portion is in registration with the inner surface of the second extending portion; sealing said inner wall of the first side edge of the body portion to said outer wall of the body portion and sealing said outer wall of the second side edge to said inner wall of the body portion to form the cup body with a built-in straw on the inner wall of the cup body with the second cut-away inside the cup body; and sealing said first extending portion to said second extending portion along their side edges, thereby forming a built-in straw upper portion extending beyond the top edge of the cup body; further comprising inserting a stirrer into the straw in the rolled cup body during manufacture, thereby maintaining the straw in an open orientation and preventing crushing or deformation of the straw during packaging and transportation.
