What are the three printing methods for paper bowls?
There are three main printing methods for paper bowls:
Offset Printing: This is one of the most common ways of printing paper bowls. Offset printing utilizes flat printing technology to transfer patterns through the mutual repulsion of ink and water. The pattern is first transferred to a rubber sheet and then to a paper bowl. This method is suitable for mass production and has high printing quality.
Gravure Printing: Gravure printing is a deep gravure printing technique that delivers ink through grooves. This printing method is suitable for high-quality patterns on smaller areas, such as detailed patterns and text on paper bowls. Gravure printing is characterized by high printing quality and delicate patterns, but it is not suitable for uniform color over a large area.
Flexographic printing: Flexographic printing uses a flexible rubber plate that can adapt to irregular surface shapes. This printing method is suitable for some paper bowls with curved surfaces, which can better adapt to the shape of the bowl and ensure uniform printing results. Flexographic printing is also more suitable for short runs and small batch production.
Each of these three printing methods has advantages and disadvantages, and which method to choose usually depends on production needs, the complexity of the printed pattern, and the scale of production.
