Overseas Success Cases of Plastic Cup Printing Machine
💡 Tip: Real production data and profit improvement are the best proof of equipment strength
In Italy, customer Luca runs a professional packaging OEM enterprise, mainly providing custom plastic cups for local coffee chains and dairy brands. Previously, he used semi-automatic equipment with a printing speed of only 150 cups per minute and a monthly output of only 800,000 pieces. The color deviation was large, the customer complaint rate was as high as 12%, and he faced order deductions many times.
After introducing YG’s plastic cup printing machine, the high speed of 300-400 cups per minute directly increased his monthly output to 2 million pieces, easily coping with peak season orders. The 6-color curved surface printing technology made the pattern reduction rate reach 99%, and the complaint rate dropped to 0. At the same time, the low-consumption design of the machine reduced the printing cost per cup from $0.012 to $0.01. In just three months, the net profit increased by 58%, and he added 3 long-term cooperative chain brand customers.
In Canada, customer Sophia’s promotional gift company focuses on festival custom plastic cups. Previously, due to the cumbersome mold change of the old equipment, it took more than 30 minutes to switch cup types each time, making it impossible to undertake small-batch and multi-style custom orders, and the order conversion rate in peak festival seasons was extremely low.
After choosing YG’s plastic cup printing machine, the 10-minute fast mold change function allowed her to flexibly undertake various small-batch orders. With the small-batch printing advantage of the machine, the order volume in the peak festival season increased by 75% year-on-year, the delivery time was shortened by 40%, customer satisfaction was greatly improved, and she became a high-quality supplier of festival custom plastic cups in the local area.
