Precision-engineered containers designed to meet strict European food packaging standards, optimized for high-speed filling lines used by Baltic dairy, beverage, and catering distributors.
Latvia, acting as the logistical and strategic gateway of the Baltic region (linking Riga to Tallinn, Vilnius, and Northern Europe), is experiencing a structural transition toward circular plastic economies. With the introduction of the unified Baltic deposit-return system (Depozīta Sistēma) in 2022 and the strict enforcement of the European Union's Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD), beverage manufacturers, dairy packers, and quick-service restaurant chains face double pressures: maintaining packaging cost efficiency while meeting rigorous environmental compliance.
Polypropylene (PP) packaging has emerged as the premier material solution. Unlike polystyrene (PS) or standard PET, thermoformed PP boasts high temperature resistance (up to 120°C), making it compatible with hot filling processes, autoclave pasteurization, and hot-beverage applications (such as vending systems and modern convenience store networks). Furthermore, PP is 100% recyclable, fitting neatly into the region's green municipal waste infrastructure.
Guangdong Santai Plastic Industry Co., Ltd. addresses this market demand directly. By integrating raw materials, advanced co-extrusion technology, and cleanroom packaging systems, we deliver food-safe, high-clarity PP cups that ensure Latvian importers avoid the pitfalls of supply chain bottlenecks and non-compliance fines.
Not all plastic cups are made equal. For industrial-scale drink packaging and dairy bottling, micro-variations in polymer alignment dictate the failure rate of lid-sealing, transit stress testing, and printing quality. We adhere to a strict tech roadmap to ensure Baltic buyers receive highly precise specifications.
Our PP cups can withstand hot filling up to 120°C and fast freezing down to -20°C. Perfect for microwave heating and modern hot sealing techniques used in automatic beverage lines.
With precise thermoforming molding tolerance kept within ±0.1mm, our cups achieve flawless ultrasonic welding, heat sealing, and snap-on lid attachment, preventing transport spills.
Equipped with multi-color German-made dry offset printing presses, we support up to 6-color high-definition graphics using food-grade, low-migration UV inks.
Providing high-output thermoformed packaging since 2010. Our facilities boast structural scale designed to sustain international distributor pipelines without delay.
Looking back at Santai Plastic's corporate history, its growth trajectory is marked by relentless perseverance. In the early days, the company barely started in 2010 with just two basic production machines. Facing multiple challenges like limited equipment, insufficient production capacity, and low market recognition, the team remained committed to quality standards, gradually accumulating experience through simple processing of single product categories.
As market demand expanded and technical capabilities improved, the company continuously increased equipment investment and technological upgrades. After years of development, it now operates 30 thermoforming production lines and 20 extrusion production lines, achieving a leapfrog growth in equipment quantity.
Our production space is strategically organized at No.5, Xinjiang Village Industrial Zone, Changning Town, Boluo County, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province. We maintain a completely integrated material extrusion and thermoforming flow, giving us direct quality control over product wall thickness uniformity and chemical stability.
For Latvian markets, adhering to packaging regulations is mandatory to maintain customs clearance and commercial viability. We structure our entire output to match EU directives, protecting your logistics pipeline from regulatory interruptions.
All materials utilize virgin raw polypropylene polymers free of phthalates, BPA, and heavy metals. Certified to meet the European Commission Regulations for direct food contact.
Our factory runs cleanrooms featuring constant temperature, dust filtration, and strict humidity controls to avoid structural microbial or airborne contaminants in finished products.
Our cups utilize monomaterial PP, facilitating seamless optical sorting and separation at Latvian recycling centers (SIA Depozīta Iepakojuma Operators).
As a growing enterprise, Santai Plastics has consistently integrated social responsibility into its development strategy, with sustained efforts in environmental protection. The company actively develops and promotes eco-friendly products, including PLA and paper straws, while progressively adopting recyclable PET and biodegradable PP materials for cup production to reduce traditional plastics' environmental impact. Additionally, it drives green production upgrades by installing solar power systems to supply clean energy for workshops and offices, significantly cutting annual carbon emissions. The company also optimizes wastewater and exhaust gas treatment processes to achieve resource recycling, demonstrating its commitment to "low-carbon manufacturing" and setting an industry benchmark for sustainable development.
Operating out of Guangdong Province—the global hub of plastic molding and high-precision packaging—gives us access to unparalleled supply chain benefits. By implementing Industry 4.0 automation systems, we ensure that bulk orders are produced with maximum efficiency and minimal material waste.
These elements provide Latvian buyers with stable pricing, allowing them to remain competitive in their domestic wholesale and retail distribution markets.
Our premium products and services have not only gained domestic recognition but also received high praise from international clients across diverse geographical regions.

Here you will find technical and logistical details regarding importing food contact packaging solutions into Latvia.
Yes. All PP cups and lids manufactured by Guangdong Santai Plastic Industry Co., Ltd. strictly comply with EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 concerning plastic materials intended to come into contact with food. We issue complete Declarations of Compliance (DoC) and migration test analysis paperwork for Baltic customs clearance.
Our standard manufacturing MOQ for custom-printed PP cups is 50,000 units per size/design. For standard, unprinted clear thermoformed cups, our MOQ is negotiable based on container sharing opportunities, generally starting at 20,000 units. We offer consolidated full-container load (FCL) or less-than-container load (LCL) logistics solutions.
Polypropylene (PP) offers high thermal resilience, retaining its structure up to 120°C. This allows it to handle boiling water, warm coffee, pasteurized dairy products, and microwave applications. PET is highly transparent but begins to soften and deform at temperatures above 60°C, making it suitable only for cold beverages.
We support advanced multi-color dry offset printing methods. We print up to 6 colors using low-migration, food-safe UV-cured inks. This ensures your logo, Latvian deposit system barcode, and product details are crisp, durable, and fully compliant with local labeling directives.
Our standard production time is 15 to 20 days upon receipt of deposit and design approval. Sea transit from Shenzhen or Nansha port to the Port of Riga or Port of Klaipeda ranges between 35 to 45 days. We also support rail freight options via the China-Europe Railway Express for urgent shipments requiring a shorter transit window of 18 to 22 days.
Yes. We supply free physical samples of our existing stock sizes (such as the PP90 and PP95 series) for thickness evaluation, lid compatibility checks, and sealing trials. Importers only cover the international express shipping fee (FedEx/DHL/TNT).
Reduce operational losses and streamline your compliance processes. Our sales engineers are ready to assist you with custom quotes, logistics planning, and technical specifications.
