Case Study

Promotional Products Company Scales Custom Tumbler Production

A promotional products company producing custom tumblers for corporate gifts struggled with slow pad printing that limited daily output to 500 units. Installing NOVA's tumbler printer with 360° rotary UV technology increased production to 2,500 tumblers daily. The system handles both straight-walled and tapered tumblers with consistent quality, while variable data printing enables personalized names and logos on every unit. Within one year, the company tripled their custom tumbler revenue and reduced per-unit costs by 60%.

Stainless Steel Tumbler Factory Eliminates Decoration Bottlenecks

A stainless steel tumbler factory using traditional screen printing faced quality issues on curved surfaces and long setup times for design changes. NOVA's digital tumbler printer eliminated screens entirely, printing full-color designs directly onto powder-coated and bare stainless steel surfaces. The UV-cured prints resist scratches and dishwashing, meeting food-grade safety standards. The factory increased production capacity by 300% and reduced decoration rejects from 12% to under 2%.

E-commerce Brand Launches Personalized Tumbler Line

An e-commerce brand wanted to offer personalized tumblers with customer names and custom artwork but lacked production capability. NOVA supplied a tumbler printer with an intuitive job management system that processes individual orders automatically. The printer produces 200 personalized tumblers per hour with unique designs on each. The brand launched their personalized line within three months and achieved 150% sales growth in the first quarter.
