PMC Launches Preprinted Plastic Cup Technology

After years of research, Paper Machinery (PMC) of the United States recently introduced a plastic cup molding technology called Barrier Plus.

This technique is to use a pre-printed plastic sheet on a PMC cup machine to process a plastic cup or container that is the same as an ordinary paper cup. This technology has been pioneered by California-based ProCal, Inc., which produces flowers and pots needed for horticulture. The company is the first customer to use a pre-printed polypropylene sheet material to make containers, and greatly increase production, and combines barrier properties, applicability and high printing results.

The pots produced by ProCal can be used to grow and transport plants as well as to reach a variety of shelves, mainly due to the punching of the side walls or the bottom during the molding process. This design solves the problems of water control and air circulation and guarantees the plant's growing environment. If used for other purposes, PP material can also play an incomparable role in moisture barrier.
