Screen Printing – Classic & Reliable

The most common method for custom cups. Ink is pressed through a mesh screen onto the cup surface.

Durable, long-lasting

Cost-effective for medium to large runs

Best for simple logos and text

Heat Transfer – Full-Color, Complex Artwork

Your design is printed on a film, then heat-pressed onto the cup.

Full-color, gradients, photos

Good for detailed artwork

Works on most cup shapes

IML (In-Mold Labeling) – Premium, Seamless

The label is placed inside the mold before the cup is formed. Plastic bonds to the label during molding.

Print goes edge to edge (no unprinted gaps)

Cannot peel or scratch off

Premium look and feel
