Case Study

Custom Gift Shop Consolidates to One Machine

A custom personalized gift shop replaced three separate specialty printers with one bottle and cup printer, streamlining their production and saving valuable floor space. The single machine now handles custom stainless steel tumblers, glass water bottles, ceramic mugs, and plastic party cups for their walk-in and online customers. Quick-change tooling lets operators switch between product types in under 10 minutes, so they can mix different order types throughout the day. Print quality is consistently high across all materials, with durable UV finishes that customers love. Consolidating to one machine reduced their equipment costs by 55% and cut operator training time, since staff only need to learn one system.

Promotional Products Company Expands Offerings

a promotional products distributor added our bottle and cup printer to bring drinkware decoration in-house instead of outsourcing. The single machine handles all their drinkware SKUs including sports bottles, travel tumblers, coffee mugs, and disposable event cups, with digital setup that makes custom logo orders fast and economical. They now produce 150–200 custom drinkware pieces per hour with consistent quality, and order turnaround dropped from 5 days to next-day service. Bringing production in-house cut their per-piece decoration cost by 48% and improved quality control. The versatility of one machine covering all their drinkware needs was the key factor in their purchase decision.

Cafe Chain Launches Custom Merchandise Program

a regional cafe chain installed our bottle and cup printer to produce custom branded drinkware and reusable cups for sale in their locations. The machine prints their logo and seasonal designs on stainless steel tumblers, glass cold brew bottles, and ceramic mugs that are sold as retail merchandise. They also use it to print custom disposable cups for limited-time promotional events. Having the printer in-house lets them do small runs of seasonal merchandise without large minimum orders, reducing inventory risk. Merchandise sales have grown 70% since they launched the program, and custom branded cups have become a popular customer loyalty reward item across all their locations.

Customer Testimonials

Amy Foster

We replaced three old specialty printers with this one bottle and cup printer, and it’s been fantastic. It handles tumblers, mugs, bottles, and plastic cups all with great print quality. Switching between products is fast, so we can mix orders all day. It saved us a ton of floor space and reduced our equipment costs significantly. Our operators only had to learn one machine, which made training much easier. Support has been great, and the machine has been very reliable so far.

Carlos Mendez

This bottle and cup printer handles all our promotional drinkware work perfectly. We do everything from disposable event cups to premium stainless steel tumblers on the same machine. Quality is consistent, and the UV finish is durable. Bringing this work in-house has cut our costs almost in half and improved turnaround from 5 days to next day. The versatility was the big selling point for us, and it has definitely delivered. We’re very happy with the purchase and the support from the NOVA team.

One Machine Replaces Multiple Specialty Printers

One Machine Replaces Multiple Specialty Printers

Our bottle and cup printer consolidates the functionality of multiple dedicated specialty printers into a single machine, delivering significant savings in cost, floor space, and training. Instead of separate machines for bottles, tumblers, mugs, and cups, you get one system that handles all of them with quick-change tooling. This reduces your initial equipment investment by 40–60% compared to buying multiple dedicated machines, and it cuts your spare parts inventory and maintenance requirements. It also simplifies operator training, since your team only needs to master one system instead of several. For businesses with diverse product lines, this consolidation delivers a much faster return on investment and more efficient use of your production space and labor.
Fast Changeovers for Mixed Production Scheduling

Fast Changeovers for Mixed Production Scheduling

The quick-change tooling system on our bottle and cup printer enables fast, tool-free changeovers between different product types and sizes, typically in 8–12 minutes. This means you can easily mix different order types throughout a single production shift without long downtime between jobs. For custom order businesses that handle many different SKUs in small quantities, this flexibility is critical for maintaining productivity. Each product configuration can be saved as a preset recipe in the machine’s memory, so recalling settings for a returning product takes just a few seconds. This efficient changeover capability maximizes your machine utilization and lets you profitably handle the small, mixed-batch orders that drive growth in custom and promotional printing.
Uniform Quality Across All Substrate Types

Uniform Quality Across All Substrate Types

Despite handling a wide range of materials, our bottle and cup printer delivers consistent, high-quality print results across every substrate type. The machine automatically adjusts print parameters including droplet size, curing intensity, and rotation speed based on the selected material profile, ensuring optimal ink adhesion and image quality for each product type. Pre-calibrated material profiles for common substrates are included, and you can save custom profiles for your specific products. This means a stainless steel tumbler, a glass bottle, and a ceramic mug all come out with equally vibrant, durable, professional-looking print quality. Uniform quality across your product range builds customer trust and ensures your brand maintains a consistent standard across all your offerings.
