Vision Inspection for Consistent Quality
During high-volume production, maintaining cup quality can be challenging. Defects such as forming issues, missing prints, color variation, black spots, and other printing defects can affect brand consistency.
Based on years of application experience, CAI’s inline vision inspection technology detects and rejects defective cups during production, helping manufacturers reduce waste and maintain consistent quality across large-volume coffee cup orders.
White Base Printing Technology
CAI’s integrated printing white base technology allows key beverage brands to control and maintain the accuracy and consistency of logo colours on clear PET, rPET and PLA cups. It neutralizes the effects of transparency, light reflection and beverage color to achieve bright and uniform brand graphics by applying a white base in the very same printing process.
