  Disposable hot cups are widely used, as a drinking water tool, for enterprises, it is also a very good propaganda. When designing a disposable hot cup, we should first determine the size and specifications of the paper cup, the use and the printing way, and then carry out the pattern design, and finally carry out the production. Note that the pattern design can not be too full, need to leave a certain amount of space, otherwise it is easy to affect the appearance.

  Designs of disposable hot cups
  First, we need to determine the size and specifications of the paper cup. The commonly used disposable paper cups are generally 220 ml or 180 ml, that is to say, their upper diameter × lower diameter × height are generally 75×53×90 or 70×49×78, and the unit is mm. Of course, its specific size or according to the actual design requirements to determine, calculation, will be on the caliber, caliber, height is determined.
  Determine the use of the cup: disposable paper cups can be divided into cold cups and hot cups. The surface of the cold drink paper cup should be treated with wax spraying or dipping, because cold drinks will make the surface of the paper cup water, resulting in softening of the paper cup. After waxing, it can be waterproof. In general, the wax is very stable and safe between 0 and 5℃, but should not be used to hold hot drinks, otherwise the wax will melt and the paper cup will absorb water and distort. The surface of the hot drink paper cup will be pasted with a special national approved polyethylene film, which is not only heat resistant but also non-toxic in high temperature beverage immersion. We can finish the paper cup according to different design requirements.
  Determine the printing method: the printing method of paper products has offset printing, screen printing and flexographic printing these three, offset printing can be used to do publicity, but can not be used to drink water, although the screen printing is relatively good, but in the processing of patterns and other aspects of the lack of. Flexo printing belongs to green printing, less harm, the production of paper cups can be used to drink water. This kind of printing is now a more common way of printing, and this kind of printing has very good publicity effect, its system is also very simple, and the cost is relatively low, so it is the most common way of printing disposable paper cups.
  Design pattern: disposable paper cup can not design pattern, or according to the demand, design related pattern or advertising. The design on the cup body can give people different drinking mood, and is also a "symbol" to publicize a certain product. Because the product's trademark, name, manufacturer, distributor, etc., can be designed on the surface of the paper cup. When people drink drinks, they can learn about the products from these information. Paper cups provide a platform for people to learn about these new products.
  Production and manufacturing: after all the preparation work in front of us is done, we can carry out production. In the production process, we usually use scutters, die-cutting machines, printing machines, paper cup formers and other machines. In the process of making a hot drink cup, be careful to add vinyl film.
  
  Notice
  Due to the special nature of the entrance of the paper cup, the design should not be too full, and sufficient space should be left. No content should be designed at the mouth and bottom of the cup, so as to avoid ink contamination when the entrance is stacked. In terms of design beauty, a paper cup with too full pattern will make people feel very messy, especially in summer, which is easy to make people feel impetuous and disgusted. Proper publicity, space and Angle, this is the most attractive publicity effect.
  Purple, dark blue, orange and coffee should be avoided, as these four colors are prone to deviation, which can make the design a mess.
  The typesetting of paper cup printing must be careful. If necessary, the text can be transformed into an outline style, so that it is not only good-looking but also can play a certain role in publicity. Because the quality of the typesetting will affect the publicity effect of the paper cup, so this point should not be overlooked.
