Paper cups have been documented in ancient China, where paper was invented by 2nd century BC. Paper cups were known as chih pei and were used for the serving of tea. Textual evidence of paper cups first appears in a description as one of many possessions owned by a Chinese family in ancient China.

The modern paper cup was developed in the 20th century. In the early 20th century, it was common to have shared glasses or dippers at water sources such as school faucets or water barrels in trains. This shared use caused public health concerns.
