MAINTAIN A SUSTAINABLE PROCESS

POD maximizes sustainable processes by only printing to fulfill orders. Inkcups’ solution furthers these practices by eliminating plastic, paper, water, and electrical waste. The dye-sublimation process wastes a huge amount of paper. Digital Cylindrical inkjet printing directly jets the image onto the substrate in a helical pattern using FDA compliant UV ink. Read more about how digital printing stacks up to dye-sublimation.

CHOOSE FROM A VARIETY OF DRINKWARE

With Digital cylinder printing you can get adhesion to basically any substrate, which creates amazing options for the marketing team. UV digital printing on drinkware works with a number of substrates from glass to stainless to plastic. Dye-sublimation requires a polyester coated drinkware, which not only limits the decorating options, but also makes the blank goods more expensive.

DIFFERENTIATE AMONG MANY COMPETITORS

Print-on-demand drinkware enables DTG companies to differentiate their product mix. T-shirt production is a highly competitive market and companies continue to settle for low margins. Keeping apparel inventory of different sizes and several different materials poses another distinct challenge for DTG printing. Adding drinkware will increase margins and set you up for new purchase occasions. The market’s shift to an increase in e-commerce has consumers looking for new products to buy and to gift to family and friends. Drinkware makes an excellent and easy gift. And remember, there is only one mouth size!

PRODUCE KICK-ASS GRAPHICS

Stand out from the competition. Increase the depth and feel of your images. Digital cylinder printing takes a file and translates it onto a 3D object in full color, making everything from a simple logo to a complex design eye-catching. Consistently impress customers with seamless graphics or specialty design techniques such as tone-on-tone, spot varnish, mirror print, and more.
