The factory in Al Seeb
Paper arrives as sheets and leaves as cups, on one floor in Al Seeb. Come and watch a run. We say nothing we cannot show you.

How a cup is made
Paper, then print, then cut, then form, then the run. Five stages on our floor in Al Seeb.
-
01 Press The press starts. Sheets go in printed six blanks to a sheet. -
02 Print Your artwork on the sheet, cut along the die into fan blanks. -
03 Form A blank wraps around the mandrel and the seam is sealed. -
04 Cup The base goes in, the rim is rolled, and the cup comes off the machine. -
05 Run Cups stack as they come off, counted into sleeves and cartons.
