Injection Molded PP Bubble Tea Cup In-Mould Label

The injection molded PP bubble tea cup featuring in-mold labeling represents a breakthrough in takeaway drinkware. Designed specifically for modern bubble tea shops, this cup leverages polypropylene’s lightweight durability and the IML process to deliver vibrant, scratch-resistant graphics that stay flawless through condensation, handling, and repeated use. As an IML PP Plastic Boba Tea Injection Cup, it eliminates the peeling and fading common with stick-on labels, ensuring a premium brand presence from the first sip to the last. The seamless integration of label and cup wall means zero air pockets and a fully smooth interior, which drastically simplifies cleaning and filling on high-speed production lines. Building on that precision, the In-Mold Labeling PP Bubble Milk Tea Cup version further refines the moulding process to accommodate intricate logo placements and full-wrap designs without distorting the cup’s structural integrity. The result is a cup that withstands the weight of tapioca pearls, ice, and liquid without flexing or cracking, even when stacked during transport. Every unit leaves the mould with consistent wall thickness, crisp label registration, and a smooth rim that pairs perfectly with both flat and dome lids.
The Injection Molded PP Bubble Tea Cup In-Mould Label series addresses the real-world demands of high-volume beverage operations. From morning rush prep to late-night peak hours, the cup stands up to rapid temperature swings, acid-based fruit teas, and dairy-heavy milk blends without leaching odours or staining. The injection moulding process guarantees an airtight, uniform base that virtually eliminates leakage, giving customers the security to carry their drinks in bags or cup holders without second-guessing the container. Because the label becomes part of the cup itself, there is no adhesive layer to degrade under refrigeration or when exposed to sanitising solutions—keeping branding crisp even after hours in a cooler. Operators appreciate how the smooth exterior reduces friction during denesting from automatic cup dispensers, minimising jams and accelerating service without sacrificing visual impact. Key product parameters are detailed below to illustrate the engineering and consistency behind each batch. **Core Material Attributes** - **Primary resin:** Virgin polypropylene (PP) with food-grade certification - **Label material:** PP-based multi-layer film matching the cup resin for 100% recyclability - **Recyclability:** Monomaterial structure compatible with #5 plastic recycling streams - **Temperature tolerance:** -20°C to 120°C (-4°F to 248°F), suitable for cold bubble tea and brief hot fill **Dimensional & Capacity Options** | Capacity (oz) | Capacity (ml) | Top Diameter (mm) | Base Diameter (mm) | Height (mm) | Recommended Lid Size (mm) | |---------------|---------------|-------------------|--------------------|-------------|---------------------------| | 12 | 360 | 95 | 78 | 100 | 95 | | 16 | 500 | 98 | 82 | 120 | 98 | | 20 | 600 | 100 | 85 | 140 | 100 | | 24 | 700 | 100 | 88 | 160 | 100 | **In-Mould Label Specifications** - Label type: Wraparound or spot label, registered to ±0.2 mm accuracy - Print process: Rotogravure or flexographic, up to 8-colour reproduction - Finish options: Gloss, matte, metallic effects, or soft-touch texture - Graphics durability: 200+ rubs under Sutherland Rub Test, immersion resistance exceeding 72 hours at 40°C **Mechanical Performance** - Wall thickness range: 0.9 mm – 1.2 mm, uniform across the entire cup profile - Stacking load: >150 kg (330 lbs) static load on base pallets without deformation - Denesting force: Consistent release with <3 N average force, tested at 90% RH - Leak-proof seal: 100% integrity verified via vacuum decay and pressure differential methods **Production & Quality Checks** - In-line vision inspection for label position, colour deviation (ΔE <1.5), and weld line integrity - Spout and rim roundness tolerance: ±0.3 mm - Batch sampling: AQL 2.5 Level II per ISO 2859 - Food safety compliance: EU 10/2011, FDA 21 CFR, and specific migration limits verified by third-party labs - Optional features: Anti-fog interior, UV blocking label layer, embossed tactile elements These specifications are maintained across every production run, ensuring that each Injection Molded PP Bubble Tea Cup In-Mould Label performs identically whether it’s destined for a neighbourhood café or an international franchise network. The integration of IML technology with injection moulding eliminates secondary labelling steps, reducing labour and the risk of contamination during assembly. Shops can order smaller batches for seasonal promotions thanks to efficient mould changeover, while large distributors can rely on precise wall thickness to optimise container-to-shipper ratios without sacrificing cup strength.
