The processes for printing traditional patterns on thermos cups mainly include the following methods:

1. Screen printing
Screen printing is the most common printing process for thermos cups. By making a screen template with a pattern, ink or pigment is scraped on the template, and then the ink or pigment is transferred to the cup by pressure to form a pattern. This method is suitable for mass production and can provide good color saturation and detail performance.

2. Thermal transfer
The thermal transfer process prints the printed pattern on the transfer film first, and then uses high temperature and pressure to transfer the pattern to the surface of the thermos cup. This method can achieve complex patterns and rich colors, and the patterns are more durable. Thermal transfer is suitable for personalized customization and can provide higher image resolution and color reproduction.

3. Water transfer
The water transfer process is to print the printed pattern on a water-soluble film, then immerse the thermos cup in water, and transfer the pattern to the surface of the cup by water pressure. Water transfer printing can produce very delicate patterns and natural gradient color effects

4. Digital printing
Digital printing technology can directly print patterns from the computer to the thermos cup, which can achieve very delicate and complex patterns. Digital printing can also achieve personalized customization and produce personalized patterns according to customer needs

5. UV inkjet printing
UV inkjet printing technology uses quick-drying UV ink for printing, and uses UV lamp cold light source to quickly solidify ink dots to form printed patterns. It has the characteristics of high precision, environmentally friendly ink, and support for small batch production, which is suitable for e-commerce customization, business customization, etc.

6. 3D printing
3D printing technology can complete pattern printing on the surface of the water cup without plate making, and 5D printing can meet the pattern printing of various special-shaped water cups. 3D printing can make the pattern relief three-dimensional, and can pass the dishwasher test, with high durability
