The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a disposable board drinking cup ( 10 ) and to the cup produced by the method. The cup is manufactured by folding a board blank between the cup mantle ( 5 ) and the collar ( 6 ), by bending and seaming the folded blank into a cone, the folding point forming the cup mouth ( 8 ), and by providing the thus seamed blank with a bottom. The cup thus formed comprises both a mantle ( 5 ) and a collar ( 6 ) bent downwardly from the cup mouth ( 8 ) and acting as a grip surface, making it easier to enjoy especially a hot drink from the cup. The shape of the cup mantle ( 5 ) and the collar ( 6 ) may be conically expanding, allowing the cups to be nested. The lower edge of the collar ( 6 ) can be equipped with a projection ( 12 ) for maintaining an air slot between the collar and the cup mantle.
