Case Study

Promotional Products Giant Meets Peak Season Demand

A leading promotional products distributor installed two NOVA high speed cup printers to handle Q4 holiday demand. The machines produce a combined 60,000 cups daily, enabling the company to fulfill large corporate orders with two-day turnaround. The high-speed continuous rotary motion and instant curing cut production time by 50% compared to their previous stop-and-go printers. The white ink system runs at full speed without reduction in opacity, a major bottleneck in their old machines. The company's ability to meet tight deadlines led to a 25% increase in repeat business from Fortune 500 clients.

Stadium Cup Supplier Wins Major League Contracts

A supplier of souvenir cups for professional sports leagues relies on a NOVA high speed cup printer to produce team-branded cups for multiple stadiums. The printer produces 4,000 cups per hour with complex, full-wrap team graphics and sponsor logos. The speed allows them to fulfill orders for entire seasons within weeks. The UV prints are extremely durable, withstanding the rigors of stadium use and repeated washing. The supplier reports a 30% reduction in per-cup cost compared to their previous outsourced screen printing, enabling more competitive bidding.

Quick-Service Restaurant Chain Launches Promotional Cups

A major quick-service restaurant chain partnered with a printer using a NOVA high speed cup printer to produce limited-edition collectible cups. The campaign required 2 million cups in six weeks. The high speed printer delivered, running near-continuously and meeting the tight deadline. The variable data capability allowed sequential numbering on each cup, driving collector behavior and increasing sales by 18% during the promotion. The printer's reliability at sustained high speed was critical to the campaign's success.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum speed of the high speed cup printer?

It achieves up to 4,500 cups per hour. Exact speed depends on cup size and print coverage. A typical 16oz cup with full-wrap art prints at approximately 4,200 per hour.
No, the printer uses stationary printheads and a continuous rotary motion, achieving 1200 dpi resolution at full speed. The instant UV pinning ensures crisp, bleed-free images even at maximum throughput.
It handles plastic, paper, and metal cups with diameters from 60mm to 120mm. The machine includes quick-change tooling for different sizes.
The printer features a high-flow white ink recirculation system specifically designed for high-speed operation. It maintains perfect opacity without the need to slow down the machine.
The printer includes automated daily cleaning routines. We recommend quarterly preventive maintenance. The continuous motion design reduces stress on mechanical parts, extending service intervals.

Continuous Motion Printing Architecture

Continuous Motion Printing Architecture

Unlike traditional machines that stop the cup for each color pass, the NOVA high speed cup printer uses a rotary turret that spins cups past stationary printheads in one smooth motion. This eliminates acceleration and deceleration delays, dramatically increasing throughput. A national promotional distributor measured a 40% increase in net output per shift after switching to this technology. The continuous motion also reduces vibration and mechanical wear, improving print consistency and extending the life of motion components.
High-Capacity Ink Delivery For Long Runs

High-Capacity Ink Delivery For Long Runs

To support high-speed, high-volume production, the printer is equipped with a bulk ink delivery system that draws from 20-liter tanks. This eliminates frequent bottle changes that interrupt long print runs. The ink is continuously recirculated and degassed, maintaining perfect condition at the printheads. A cup supplier running 20-hour shifts only pauses to change ink once per week, maximizing valuable production time.
Integrated Automated Feeding And Ejection

Integrated Automated Feeding And Ejection

The high speed cup printer includes an automated cup feeder and outfeed conveyor. Cups are loaded in bulk, automatically oriented, and fed into the printing turret. After printing and curing, they are ejected onto a conveyor for packing. This reduces manual labor to simply loading blanks and removing finished pallets, allowing one operator to manage the entire high-output process.
