Water Transfer Painting (also known as hydro dipping) is an advanced printing technique that allows intricate, vibrant designs to be transferred onto stainless steel surfaces. The process involves:
Film Activation: A pre-printed PVA film is placed on water, and a chemical activator dissolves it, leaving the ink floating.
Dipping: The stainless steel cup is dipped into the water, allowing the ink to wrap seamlessly around its curved surface.
Curing: The design is heat-treated to ensure scratch resistance, fade resistance, and long-lasting vibrancy.
✅ Unmatched Aesthetic Appeal: From wood grains to marble effects, WTP enables limitless customization to match market trends and brand identity.
✅ Durability: The cured coating resists scratches, UV fading, and daily wear—ideal for reusable cups.
✅ Cost-Effective Production: WTP is more affordable than traditional engraving or laser printing, making it perfect for bulk orders.
✅ Eco-Friendly: Unlike spray painting, WTP reduces VOC emissions and waste.
