LM-W3-75E Embossing Outer Wall Machine
LM-W3-75E embossing outer wall machine: 4-20 oz, embossed outer wall plus plain cup, 70-100 pcs/min, 5 kW.
Quick Answer: What Is The LM-W3-75E?
The LM-W3-75E is an embossing outer wall machine that applies a printed outer wrap or sleeve around finished cups at 70-100 pcs/min (60-75 pcs/min for embossed cups). It is powered by 380 V / 5 kW, needs 0.4 m³/min of compressed air, and ships in 30-35 working days. It is built for cup factories that ship printed, double-wall style cups.
The LM-W3-75E takes a plain inner cup and bonds an embossed outer wall to it, producing the premium double wall coffee cup used by specialty coffee brands. It covers 4-20 oz cups at 70-100 pcs/min.
The embossed pattern is not printed, it is pressed into the board, so the cup gains both insulation and a tactile surface that reads as a premium product.
What Is An Embossing Outer Wall Machine?
A embossing outer wall machine is an automatic finishing unit that sits downstream of a cup or bowl forming machine. It takes already-formed containers and applies a printed outer wrap or sleeve around finished cups, so the line keeps running at the speed of the forming machine instead of being limited by manual handling.
On the LM-W3-75E the whole cycle is servo-driven and monitored from one panel: an operator loads material, sets the count and the machine runs unattended. That is what turns a forming line into a finished, packable output for cup factories that ship printed, double-wall style cups.
Feature:
- Embossed outer wall – pressed pattern, not printed
- 4-20 oz cups – espresso to large coffee sizes
- 70-100 pcs/min – 60-75 pcs/min with logo registration
- 190-300 gsm board – embossing grade outer wall
- Combines embossed wall with plain cup – true double wall build
- Only 5 kW power – low operating cost
- Same platform as LM-W3-100 – shared parts and service
Application:
The LM-W3-75E is the choice for:
- Specialty coffee roasters and cafe chains
- Premium private label cup programmes
- Hospitality and airline cup supply
- Brands replacing printed sleeves with embossed walls
Embossed cups remove the need for a separate cardboard sleeve, which saves material and labour in the packing line.

How Does The LM-W3-75E Work?
The LM-W3-75E runs a continuous, fully automatic cycle. One operator loads material and monitors the panel; the stations below run in sequence:
- Cup infeed: Finished cups are fed in line from the forming machine or a hopper.
- Wrap feeding: The printed outer wrap or sleeve is cut and positioned around the cup.
- Wrapping: The wrap is wound onto the cup body at the wrapping station.
- Sealing: The seam is bonded with hot melt glue or heat so the wrap stays tight.
- Discharge and stacking: Wrapped cups are counted and stacked for packing.
Main Machine Features:
- Pressed Not Printed: the pattern is embossed into the board, so it does not fade, smear or need extra ink.
- Removes The Sleeve: an embossed wall replaces the separate cardboard sleeve, cutting material and packing cost.
- Better Grip And Insulation: the raised pattern keeps heat away from the hand and feels secure to hold.
- 5 kW Running Cost: embossing adds almost nothing to your energy cost per cup.
- Shared Platform: same family as the LM-W3-100 wrapper, so spare parts and training are common.
What Can The LM-W3-75E Produce?
| Product | Typical Size | End Use |
| Embossed espresso cup | 4-8 oz | Specialty coffee bars |
| Embossed coffee cup | 8-12 oz | Cafe chains |
| Embossed large cup | 12-16 oz | Takeaway coffee |
| Embossed premium cup | 16-20 oz | Hospitality, airlines |
Output Planning: What Can You Expect Per Shift?
Use these numbers to size the machine against your order book:
| Production Window | Running Time | Output At Rated Speed |
| Per hour | 60 min | 6,000 cups |
| Per 10-hour shift | 10 h | 60,000 cups |
| Per day (2 shifts) | 20 h | 120,000 cups |
| Per month (26 days, 2 shifts) | 520 h | 3,120,000 cups |
Figures are calculated at the rated top speed of 70-100 pcs/min (60-75 pcs/min for embossed cups) and assume steady material supply and normal changeover time. Running smaller sizes or heavier board will sit at the lower end of the range.
Is The LM-W3-75E The Right Machine For Your Factory?
Choose the LM-W3-75E if:
- You want printed, double-wall style cups without paying for double-wall board.
- You need 70-100 pcs/min (60-75 pcs/min for embossed cups) of wrapping capacity to keep up with your forming machine.
- You sell premium coffee or tea cups where the outer wrap carries the brand.
Consider a different model if:
- You ship plain single-wall cups: a wrapper adds cost with no selling benefit.
- Your volumes are low: manual sleeving is still cheaper at small scale.
Send us your container sizes, board specification and target output per month. Our engineers will size the right model and confirm the tooling before you order.

FAQs:
What does the LM-W3-75E do differently from a standard wrapper?
It bonds an embossed outer wall to the cup, so the pattern is pressed into the board rather than printed, giving both insulation and a premium tactile surface.
What speed does the LM-W3-75E reach?
It runs at 70-100 cups per minute, or 60-75 cups per minute when a logo registration system is used to align the embossed pattern.
What cup sizes and board does it use?
It covers 4-20 oz cups using 190-300 gsm outer wall board, with 380 V / 5 kW power and 0.4 cubic metres per minute of compressed air.
What is the lead time and how is the LM-W3-75E shipped?
Standard lead time is 30 to 35 working days after the deposit. The machine is packed in a fumigated export wooden case with moisture protection, shipped by sea as a full container or groupage, and delivered with a full spare parts kit, tooling set and English manuals.
Do you provide installation, training and after-sales service for the LM-W3-75E?
Yes. Every machine is tested with your container size before shipment, and we provide installation guidance, operator training videos and remote commissioning support. Engineers can be dispatched for on-site commissioning, and wearing parts are stocked for long-term supply.
Can the LM-W3-75E be customised for special sizes, board or voltage?
Yes. The tooling set is made for your target size range, and the electrical system can be built for the local voltage and frequency of your country. Optional units such as online inspection, paper blank feeders and embossing can be added at the time of order.
