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.
• Curing Considerations: For thin disposable cups, avoid forced hot air to prevent warping. UV LED is recommended to mitigate warping risks with conventional UV curing systems, which allow precise control over UV exposure.
