Stable Mechanical Structure for Reliable Production
PP injection-molded cups have relatively rigid walls and fragile rims, making them prone to scratches and rim breakage during high-speed printing. CAI optimizes the mechanical structure, cup handling and transfer process to minimize surface scratches, deformation and rim damage, ensuring smooth and stable production. In real-world applications, CAI equipment has achieved stable printing at 460 cups/min for 700 ml thermoformed PP cups, demonstrating reliable performance even with demanding cup sizes and production speeds.
Mature Integrated Production Solutions
With extensive experience in inline production, CAI develops integrated solutions tailored to each customer’s production line. Based on the upstream forming machine, we can design and customize dedicated infeed systems for seamless cup transfer into the printing machine. The printing line can also connect directly with downstream packaging equipment, enabling an integrated process from forming and printing to packing. Combined with CAI’s self-developed vision inspection system, the entire production line can achieve automated quality control, reduce manual intervention and move toward a highly automated, unmanned factory.

From Precision Printing to Intelligent Production
CAI offers solutions that go beyond merely providing cup printing machines. As a company that is well-versed in high-capacity production and precision engineering, we are equipped to ensure accurate registration, stable mechanical structure, reliable ink adhesion, and optimizing of the cup handling. Our solutions can be customized for integration with both upstream forming machines and downstream systems including packaging and cartoning systems. Merging our in-house developed vision inspection technology enables manufacturers to exercise real-time quality control while minimizing the necessity of manual intervention. From product sampling, through machine customization all the way to complete line integration, CAI aids in establishing reliable and efficient production systems.
Global Printing Cases for PP Cups
Mixue’s annual cup consumption reaches hundreds of millions, creating demanding requirements for printing consistency and production stability. Its large-area white graphics require particularly precise ink curing and uniform ink transfer to maintain consistent color and coverage across high-volume production. CAI printing machines have been selected by multiple customers for Mixue cup orders, delivering stable performance and reliable print quality. The S Series can maintain a stable speed of up to 460 cups/min, supporting continuous production and helping customers meet large-scale delivery requirements.
A Russian customer uses CAI equipment to print 500ml injection-molded PP cups with an especially rigid cup body and fragile rim. This combination creates higher requirements for cup handling, mechanical stability and rim protection during high-speed printing. After extensive testing and production verification, CAI’s S Series successfully passed the customer’s acceptance testing and was delivered with a stable production speed of 450 cups/min. The solution enables reliable continuous printing while minimizing scratches, deformation and rim breakage throughout production.
The CAI S Series can achieve stable printing speeds of up to 460 cups/min. While the machine can run faster under suitable conditions, we recommend around 450 cups/min for consistent, long-term production stability.
Changeover time depends on the product. Replacing the cup mould and adjusting cup infeed and outfeed typically takes around one hour. Color changes require additional time for ink and printing system adjustments.
Yes. CAI very warmly welcomes customers to visit its factory located in Suzhou, China, and see how cup printing is done. Besides, the customers are welcome to bring the samples of their cups for testing and technical discussions.
CAI offers high-speed PP cup printing machines with a strong price-to-performance ratio, supported by China’s mature manufacturing and supply chain advantages. Compared with European machines with similar performance, CAI can offer competitive equipment pricing. The final price depends on the machine model, printing configuration and optional functions.
