Without bleed we can get white lines visible at the edges of the seam – something nobody wants to see when cup is supposed to be a solid color all around.Bleed is an extra print area added beyond the cutting line giving that extra safety when cups are die cut.One of the common mistakes is forgetting about bleed.Please allow for 1mm movement up and down.Please be aware any bands and patterns running around the cup may not join correctly at the seam due to movement when the cup is formed.A cool idea – but sometimes hard to execute.I have my own rule to not make circles or squares wider than 80% of the base diameter.Generally, the bigger the shape the more awkward it will appear on the cup.It’s tapered towards the bottom making the actual design template to appear curved. Of course a cup itself isn’t cylindrical.
A paper coffee cup is 3D object, which can be very challenging when you want to depict shapes like circles or squares.There are some exceptions like vertical text or circular elements, where warping might affect general proportions of the elements.Ī post shared by CupPrint on at 3:35am PST.
