What’s the Best Screen Printing Machine for Plastic Bottles

It can be challenging to print on plastic bottles of varying levels of thickness and sizes.  Plastic can be especially difficult to print on due to the nonporous nature of the surface which hinders ink adhesion. When printing on plastic cups, a pretreatment application such as with a flame treater may be required to improve the ink adhesion to the plastic surface.

It is best to check with an experienced screen printing specialist for guidance on selecting the right cup printing machine for your application.
