Abstract:
1. A method of making a cup holder, comprising: providing a first sheet made of a first flexible material, having a first side and a second side defined by a first straight edge, a second straight edge opposite the first straight edge, a first curved edge and a second curved edge opposite the first curved edge, the first and second straight edges being generally perpendicular to the first and second curved edges; providing a second sheet made of a second flexible material, having a first side and a second side defined by a first straight edge, a second straight edge opposite the first straight edge, a first curved edge and a second curved edge opposite the first curved edge, the first and second straight edges being generally perpendicular to the first and second curved edges; disposing a first insert made of a sheet of insulating material in between the first sheet and the second sheet, wherein the first insert comprises at least one of a sensor for making payments and a barcode for identifying a predetermined order; heat sealing the first curved edge and the second curved edge of the second sheet to the first curved edge and the second curved edge of the first sheet, respectively, to form a first pair where the first straight edges of the first and second sheets form a left side and the second straight edges of the first and second sheets form a right side; providing a third sheet made of the second flexible material, having a first side and a second side defined by a first straight edge, a second straight edge opposite the first straight edge, a first curved edge and a second curved edge opposite the first curved edge, the first and second straight edges being generally perpendicular to the first and second curved edges; providing a fourth sheet made of the first flexible material, having a first side and a second side defined by a first straight edge, a second straight edge opposite the first straight edge, a first curved edge and a second curved edge opposite the first curved edge, the first and second straight edges being generally perpendicular to the first and second curved edges; disposing a second insert made of a sheet of insulating material between the third sheet and the fourth sheet, wherein imprinted on the second insert is at least one of a logo, a personal name area, a request area and a product preference area; heat sealing the first curved edge and the second curved edge of the fourth sheet to the first curved edge and the second curved edge of the third sheet, respectively, to form a second pair where the first straight edges of the third and fourth sheets form a left side and the second straight edges of the third and fourth sheets form a right side; and heat sealing the left and right sides of the first pair to the left and right sides of the second pair respectively to form the cup holder.
