Which processes can achieve colorful patterns on the surface of thermos cups? Which one is more cost-effective? (II)

Hello everyone, Dong Dong is here to talk about cups. Thank you for liking my article and thank you for following me. http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10376.htmlToday I will continue to share with you which process is more cost-effective for printing color patterns on the surface of thermos cups?

Water transfer printing, by rotating the water cup, the pattern adsorbed on the water surface is printed on the water cup, and the whole cup body can be printed. http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10376.htmlAdvantages: For special-shaped water cups, the pattern can be complete and continuous. Disadvantages: Low production efficiency, most patterns will be deformed in the final effect.

Water stickers are made by hand, and the printed pattern is pasted on the surface of the water cup according to the final requirements. After high-temperature baking, the integrity of the pattern is finally achieved. http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10376.htmlAdvantages: The pattern water cup can be fully wrapped, which can meet the printing needs of various special-shaped water cups, and the pattern is realistic and saturated. Disadvantages: Low production efficiency and high production cost.

3D printing, using a large printer to print the pattern on the surface of the water cup. Advantages: high production efficiency, high-definition and realistic patterns. Disadvantages: It is impossible to fully wrap the water cup pattern. http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10376.htmlAt the same time, due to different equipment and different precision of the printer inkjet needle, the final effect of printing the same pattern on different equipment is different.

Well, I have shown these achievable color printing processes in a straightforward and simple way, so which process is more cost-effective? http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10376.htmlTomorrow, I will explain the advantages and disadvantages of these processes in more detail by giving examples, and objectively analyze which process is more cost-effective.

Before I start, I would like to ask you to search for "Dong Dong Talks about Cups" on the entire Internet and follow "Dong Dong Talks about Cups". http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10376.htmlIn the video account of "Dong Dong Talks about Cups", there is an introduction to the production of plastic accessories for thermos cups, the production of stainless steel cup bodies, how to test stainless steel water cups, and how to print and package various types of food. Interested friends can intuitively understand how water cups were created.

Thermal transfer, water transfer, air dye printing, water stickers, and 3D printing can all restore high-definition color patterns on the surface of water cups. If the pattern made by thermal transfer is not specially treated, there will be obvious glue marks on the edge of the pattern, http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10376.htmlwhich is determined by the principle of thermal transfer technology. The cost of thermal transfer plate making is the highest among the above processes.

Thermal transfer has high production efficiency, accurate positioning, and high pattern saturation. Thermal transfer cannot achieve 360° pattern printing, such as the bottom of the water cup, the blocked position of the water cup handle, and some special anisotropic positions. http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10376.htmlDue to the low production cost of thermal transfer pattern film and the simple transfer method, combined with the plate making cost, it is suitable for printing a large number of water cups. The more the number, the lower the cost of a single print, and the more the number, the more cost-effective thermal transfer is among all the above printing methods.

Water transfer printing can achieve 360° wrapping of patterns, but because water transfer printing is currently mostly done manually, the production efficiency is relatively low. Even if the printing process is very skilled, the printed pattern will be deformed regardless of whether it is a rolling transfer or a direct insertion transfer, especially for patterns with texture lines, such as tree patterns, well patterns, and similar patterns. http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10376.htmlAlso, due to the use of manual labor, the labor cost of water transfer printing will be very high, and the plate fee is close to that of gas dyeing printing and water stickers. Under the same pattern, the cost of a single print is only lower than that of the water sticker process.
