Start your high-profit custom cup business today. The uv dtf cup wraps printer delivers waterproof, scratch-resistant, full-color 3D-textured graphics on glass, metal, plastic, and ceramic.
There are no minimum orders. No complex setups. Just stunning, professional results that your customers will love.
Before we talk hardware, let's talk profit. The personalized drinkware market is booming. But how do you profitably customize a glass can, a metal tumbler, or a ceramic mug in full color, with 3D effects, in small batches?
This is the bottleneck where traditional methods fail—and where UV DTF Cup Wraps create an explosive new opportunity. It solves the "Small-Batch Problem": clients no longer need large minimum orders; they want one-off, full-color, or white-ink designs that traditional methods can't deliver profitably... until now.
A "Cup Wrap" is the specific solution that unlocks these high-demand, high-profit markets:
The Corporate Market: Businesses no longer want 100 simple, one-color printed mugs. They want 50 metal tumblers with their full-color, 3D-textured logo. You can now deliver this high-value order, tapping into an area with High-Profit Margins where a wrap costing approximately $0.50 in materials (ink and film) can easily retail for $5-$10.
The Etsy & Creator Market: The "glass can wrap" trend is massive. You can sell the physical wraps themselves (as a B2B supplier) or sell the finished, customized glass cans (as a B2C retailer), both offering significant High-Profit Margins.
The Wedding & Event Market: Couples want names printed on clear glass champagne flutes. UV DTF, with its white ink base, is one of the only technologies that makes this look professional, durable, and elegant, catering to wedding scenarios.
Sports & Personal Merch: Print waterproof, scratch-resistant logos for team water bottles, thermoses, and travel mugs—items that sublimation and vinyl simply can't handle effectively, opening up another High-Demand Market with great profit potential.
This table shows why UV DTF is the clear winner for professional cup customization.

We engineered the RF-ZZ2F specifically to solve the biggest challenges in cup production.
Printing on clear glass? White ink is your biggest enemy... and biggest asset. Our RF-ZZ2FC2 isn't just a printer; it's a maintenance system. The Automatic White Ink Circulation & Stirring plus a Moisturizing Capping Station actively prevent clogs. This ensures your white base layer is always flawless and vibrant, so your colors pop.
Don't just print—create tactile art. Use the Varnish channel to add "spot gloss" or tangible 3D "embossed" effects to logos and text. This simple step triples the perceived value of your cup wraps and sets you apart from the competition.
This is a true "Print & Laminate" system. The RF-ZZ2FC2 automatically prints on A-film and laminates the B-film in one continuous pass. You get a finished roll of ready-to-apply stickers, freeing you up to manage sales while the machine does the work. This is the key to scaling your cup wrap production.
When printing fine-text logos, precision is everything. We use a high-torque Servo Motor, not a cheap stepper motor. This guarantees micron-level alignment between the White, Color, and Varnish layers. No ghosting, no mis-registration. Just perfect, professional results every time.
This isn't just a printer; it's an all-in-one business kit, ready to go out of the box.
