Is plastic or stainless steel better for stainless steel thermos cup lids? (Part 1)

Hello everyone, "Dong Dong Talk Cup" is here. Most of the stainless steel thermos cup lids sold on the market are made of plastic, and some are made of stainless steel. What is the difference between these two materials? http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10408.htmlIn the years that I have been working in the industry, I have come into contact with customers from all over the world with various needs.

Some high-end buyers are looking for thermos cups made entirely of stainless steel, believing that such stainless steel thermos cups are safer, healthier, more environmentally friendly, and more upscale. Is this true? http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10408.htmlToday, I will share with you the differences between plastic cup lids and stainless steel cup lids, and what are their advantages and disadvantages?

The choice of stainless steel thermos cup lid material is mainly determined by the function of the cup, and is also affected by factors such as the cup mouth structure and the cup capacity. http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10408.htmlThe editor starts with the plastic cup lid:

What are the advantages and disadvantages of plastic cup lids?

Advantages:

Lightness: Due to the density of plastic material, the cup lid of the same style and size is lighter than the stainless steel cup lid.

Easy to shape: Plastic is easier to shape through molds than stainless steel to achieve the desired shape and structure. The more complex the structure and shape, the more the advantages of plastic can be reflected. http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10408.htmlIn addition to the difficulty of production, the manufacturing cost of stainless steel will be much higher if it wants to achieve the same shape and structure.

Cost-effectiveness: Plastic materials are usually of lower cost, which makes the thermos cup with plastic cup lid more cost-effective.

High freedom of color and design: Plastic material is easy to color and shape, http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10408.htmlso cup lids of various styles and colors can be designed to meet the aesthetic needs of different consumers.

Disadvantages:

Poor high temperature resistance: Some manufacturers who lack design and production experience may make mistakes in materials or structures, which may cause the plastic cup lid to be affected by the high temperature water in the cup and deform or reduce the sealing performance.

Lower durability: This is the result of comparison. http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10408.htmlCompared with stainless steel cup lids, plastic cup lids are relatively less durable. For example, they are less resistant to falling, less resistant to bumps, and more prone to aging.
