What to know about plastic cups
• Affordable Branding Solution: Plastic cups—whether for home, disposable, or souvenir stadium use—offer an efficient and affordable way for customers to market their brand at events or meetings.
• Ink Choices for Plastic Cups: Choose between UV inks for instant curing (ideal for the T8-SS with integrated UV) or solvent-based inks that can be air dried or expedited with forced air/IR. UV inks provide an instant cure, allowing immediate packaging, while solvent inks require additional drying time.
• Pretreatment Not Always Needed: Pretreatment for ink adhesion is not typically necessary for disposable plastic cups, but may be considered for reusable cups, especially if they are dishwasher safe.
• Model F1-DC for Plastic Cups: The Model F1-DC offers a semi-automatic solution for plastic cup printing. Once printed, cups can be cured with a conveyor oven or the Model UVSP for efficient production.
• Precision Fixtures for Optimal Results: It’s crucial to have fixtures that fit your plastic cups snugly to avoid image distortion during printing. Systematic Automation provides precision manufacturing and test prints to ensure quality before shipping.
