In daily life, we often come into contact with paper cups with various exquisite patterns. By printing patterns on paper cups, enterprises not only play a good role in publicity, but also bring good visual enjoyment to drinkers. So, in what ways can the pattern on the paper cup fans be printed? Find out with Paperjoy.
First of all, there are three printing methods suitable for corporate disposable promotional paper cups, namely offset printing, silk screen printing and flexo printing.
1. Offset printing
The image and text are transferred to the substrate through the blanket cylinder. The advantage of offset printing paper cups is that the pattern color is full, bright, and high definition. Whether it is a gradient color or a small and fine line, it can be well displayed, making the appearance of the paper cup more beautiful and more attractive to customers. But offset printing paper cups are not suitable for water and beverages, because offset printing ink is not very environmentally friendly.
2. Screen printing
Because the layout is soft and elastic, it has great flexibility and applicability. It is not only suitable for printing on soft items such as paper and cloth, but also suitable for printing on hard items, such as glass, ceramics, etc., and is not limited by the surface shape and area size of the substrate. However, the advantages of screen printing paper cups cannot be well reflected, and screen printing has great limitations on the reproduction of graphics and texts, and it is difficult to process gradients and high-precision images.
3. Flexo printing
Known as “green printing” due to the use of water-based inks. Now many companies’ product packaging is developing in the direction of flexo printing. Compared with the huge body and high cost of offset printing machines, the structure of flexo printing machines is simpler. In terms of cost, the equipment investment of a flexo printing machine is lower than that of an offset printing machine of the same size. In terms of appearance, offset printing is better than flexo printing. But because flexo printing is green and environmentally friendly printing, flexo printing is currently the mainstream process used in paper cup printing.
Flexo printed Paper Cup Fans
Different printing methods will have different characteristics and effects. Therefore, customers and friends need to choose the printing process of disposable paper cups according to their own needs, so as to save unnecessary printing costs. In addition, you must choose a good printing company when customizing disposable paper cups, so as to ensure the quality and safety of paper cup printing.
