Without bleed we can get white lines visible at the edges of the seam – something nobody wants to see when cup is supposed to be a solid color all around.Bleed is an extra print area added beyond the cutting line giving that extra safety when cups are die cut.One of the common mistakes is forgetting about bleed.Please allow for 1mm movement up and down.Please be aware any bands and patterns running around the cup may not join correctly at the seam due to movement when the cup is formed.A cool idea – but sometimes hard to execute.I have my own rule to not make circles or squares wider than 80% of the base diameter.Generally, the bigger the shape the more awkward it will appear on the cup.It’s tapered towards the bottom making the actual design template to appear curved. Of course a cup itself isn’t cylindrical.
A paper coffee cup is 3D object, which can be very challenging when you want to depict shapes like circles or squares.There are some exceptions like vertical text or circular elements, where warping might affect general proportions of the elements.Ī post shared by CupPrint on at 3:35am PST.In this case, we also recommend creating a new image layer and adjusting the edges of the image to fit the pattern.This approach is also used when positioning images.Finally, the text must feature the same curvature as the provided grid pattern to ensure that the printing results appear optically correct and linear.Ideally elements need to be arched so envelope distortion matches horizontal and vertical lines of the grid.Use our gridlines to adjust elements using warping effect in Illustrator to make elements appear straight on the cup.This is due to uncoated paper which ‘soaks’ in some of the ink.Line thicknesses below 0.5pt might differ from screen appearance, especially on matt finish cups with dark backgrounds and bright graphic elements.If it’s not readable when you print it on your printer, it won’t be on the cup.Please take care with small imprints and symbols like: © ® and ™.Text 6pt and below might not be legible.READ ABOUT CUP PRINTING FINISHES Small Text Sizes and Tiny Elements To print black we advise using K100% only, additionally to achieve deep black Cyan boost between 40-60% can be used.Black mixes using all 4 Process Colors are not recommended as they might print as dark brown due to high ink coverage.If a designer created your brand and logo, you should ask for vector master files so you can produce a wide range of versions for a range of use for signage, advertising and of course branded paper cups!Ī post shared by CupPrint on at 12:03am PST

Vector files – Adobe Illustrator (AI), EPS and the right types of PDF can be more easily manipulated, resized and colour corrected while maintaining higher resolution for a better quality appearance in print.
