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

In the article yesterday, the editor gave a relatively popular explanation of the current surface printing process for thermos cups, including what printing processes are there? What processes are there for color printing? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these processes? http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10382.htmlEtc. The editor will not repeat them here. If you want to know more, please read the article published by the editor yesterday. Today, the editor will tell you which process is more cost-effective based on the advantages and disadvantages of the process mentioned yesterday.

Air dye printing can also achieve 360° wrapping, and the final effect is very close to water transfer printing. However, due to the process, once the air dye printing pattern is printed on a water cup with different upper and lower diameters, http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10382.htmlobvious creases will often appear at the position with a smaller diameter on the finished product. Air dye printing adopts a semi-manual and semi-mechanical production method, with higher production efficiency than water transfer printing and lower production cost.

Water stickers are applied to the surface of the water cup by hand, so 360° printing can be achieved. Not only that, water stickers can meet the printing needs of various special-shaped patterns, and can also achieve the integrity of the pattern in the case of handle obstruction. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10382.htmlHowever, since water stickers are almost entirely done manually, the production efficiency is the lowest among the above processes, and the production cost is the highest.

3D printing, technology upgrade can also be called 5D printing. Currently, it is still impossible to achieve 360° continuous pattern printing, but due to the continuous upgrading of printing equipment in recent years, the printing accuracy, printing speed and printing area have been significantly improved, which is why the editor rewrote this article. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10382.htmlAlthough the accuracy of the pattern achieved by the existing printing equipment cannot be 100% consistent with the pattern film used for water stickers, it is getting closer and closer to the accuracy of the film pattern. Although the printing efficiency cannot be achieved as thermal transfer, the existing production efficiency has surpassed water transfer, gas dyeing, water stickers and other processes. 3D printing technology does not require plate making to complete pattern printing on the surface of the water cup, and 5D printing can meet the pattern printing of a variety of special-shaped water cups.

3D printing can make the pattern embossed three-dimensional, which can also be achieved by water stickers, but water stickers cannot achieve the three-dimensionality of each detail of complex patterns, but 3D printing can. Not only that, the pattern achieved by 3D printing can pass the dishwasher test, which is also impossible for some of the above processes. Under the premise of the same number of cups with the same pattern and the same shape, the current single printing cost of 3D printing is second only to gas dyeing and thermal transfer, but the color saturation of gas dyeing patterns is insufficient, and the pattern cannot be 100% restored. The time and cost of thermal transfer plate making are too long and the cost is too high, resulting in high proofing costs. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10382.htmlAt the same time, the thermal transfer pattern cannot achieve a three-dimensional embossed feeling. Therefore, under the conditions of many patterns and styles, the same water cups, and a number of about several thousand, and under the premise of high requirements for the pattern, 3D printing has the highest cost performance.
