Disclosed is a paper cup having an integral handle. An extended section is integrally formed at one end of a side wall of a paper cup which one end is overlapped with the other end of the side wall to be heat-fused therewith. At least a distal end of the extended section is heat-fused to the side wall in a manner such that a remaining part of the extended section serves as a detached part which is not heat-fused to the side wall. Cut lines are formed on the detached part of the extended section to define contours of a pair of handle segments. Each cut line includes a perforated line. Folding lines are formed on each handle segment so that reinforcing flaps are created by folding the handle segment along the folding lines. A reinforcing strip is affixed to a connecting portion of the detached part, which is located between the pair of handle segments.
