Thermal transfer cup technology

1 Digital thermal transfer cup technology
When it comes to thermal transfer cup technology, you may think of personalized thermal transfer baking cups, coating cup technology, etc.

Digital thermal transfer cup technology is to print the image on a thermal transfer paper through a computer, then stick it on the cup, and transfer it through a baking cup machine after low-temperature heating. After about 3 minutes, the pattern is evenly printed on the cup, and it becomes a unique personalized cup in the world.

In fact, what I want to introduce to you today is another thermal transfer cup technology, which is very different from the above process.

2 Traditional thermal transfer cup technology
The printed patterns on plastic cups, beverage cups, glass water cups, etc. that we can see everywhere are clear, exquisite, and timeless.

The thermal transfer cup technology is:

The first step is to design and produce high-resolution printed artwork according to the appearance size of the cup;

The second step is to separate the colors and layers according to the size of the artwork, and produce a dot-type gravure electric engraving plate;

The third step is to print the exquisite patterns on the gravure plate on the coated PET polyester film through a gravure printing machine, that is, to print it into a thermal transfer printing film, which can print thousands of meters of finished patterns in one hour;

The fourth step is to transfer the exquisite patterns on the thermal transfer printing film to the corresponding cup through a thermal transfer machine. The operation process is simple, the pattern is formed at one time, and no color matching is required.

In this way, cups with realistic patterns, rich layers, bright colors, and durable wear are "born".

3 Traditional cup thermal transfer technology and digital cup thermal transfer technology
Compared with personalized thermal transfer baking cup technology, this type of thermal transfer cup technology is more suitable for the production of high-demand, large-scale thermal transfer cups. Personalized thermal transfer baking cups are only suitable for the production of a very small number of personalized crafts and cannot form a large-scale production;

Because the production efficiency of thermal transfer cup technology is extremely high, its advantages in cost control are also incomparable to personalized thermal transfer baking cups.
