Real Case: How Thai Customer Sarah Increased Capacity by 30%?
Sarah runs a food packaging factory in Thailand, supplying paper cups to chain coffee shops. Previously using an ordinary paper cup logo printing machine, she faced slow speed (30m/min) and large overprint deviation, leading to frequent customer returns.
In 2024, she purchased 2 YG flexo printing machines for paper cups, connecting them with existing die-cutting machines. The 50m/min speed increased daily capacity from 50,000 to 70,000 cups, and ±0.15mm accuracy eliminated returns. Meanwhile, multicolor printing met customers’ gradient logo needs. Within 6 months, cooperating coffee shops grew from 8 to 15, and net profit increased by 40%.
Flexo vs Digital Paper Cup Printing Machine: How to Choose?
Many customers hesitate between the two models—key differences at a glance:
- Batch demand: Flexo for daily capacity 50,000+, digital for small-batch customization
- Cost structure: Flexo has high initial plate cost, low later unit cost
- Printing effect: Flexo has saturated colors, digital for variable data (QR codes)
- Application scenario: Flexo integrates with production lines, digital for single small orders
Tip: Have both high-volume and small orders? Combine the two devices!
This combination works best if your clients include both chain brands and niche custom orders.
