For example, in the case of a polyethylene resin, a high-density polyethylene resin having a high softening point is used as the thermoplastic resin on the back surface.

The method for manufacturing a heat-insulating paper cup according to the present invention is as follows. First, a laminate in which a thermoplastic resin layer is laminated on both front and back surfaces of a base material layer 11 is punched into a fan-shaped blank of a paper cup body 3. It is processed into a plate, and then formed into a paper cup body together with the bottom by a paper cup forming machine. A laminate having a foaming thermoplastic resin layer also at the bottom can be used. This paper cup body can be manufactured by a general paper cup molding machine. By heating the molded paper cup body, the moisture in the paper evaporates, and the vapor pressure and the thermal expansion of the air are added to act to generate a foamed structure in the thermoplastic resin layer on the surface. In the case where the convex portion 6 is provided on the surface, the surface of the base material layer 11 is printed in advance, and the heated portion further promotes foaming by heat processing, thereby forming the convex portion 6. .

After the paper cup body 2 is heated and foamed, a paper winding section 5 is provided around the outside of the paper cup body 3. As shown in FIG. 6, one method of winding is to form a tapered cylindrical paper winding portion 5 in a separate step in advance, insert the paper cup body 2 into the cylindrical paper winding portion 5, Fit. Since the front surface of the paper cup body 3 and the back surface of the paper winding portion 5 are foamed layers, they are in a state where they hardly come off after fitting. It may be partially adhered with an adhesive. As another method, as shown in FIG. 7, there is a method in which a blank of the paper winding unit 5 is partially wound around the paper cup body 2 while being bonded with an adhesive, and both ends of the blank are bonded and fixed. In either case, since the foamed surfaces are in contact with each other, the paper cup body 2 and the paper winding portion 5 are integrated in a state in which the paper cup body 2 is hard to come off.
