JOIN · 16 oz clear PET · single-ink print programme

Fifteen ways to print
one cup.

The cup is clear plastic with a dome lid, and the print runs in one ink — black on the clear body, white where the drink is dark. That is the whole palette. Every design below is built from the JOIN lockup, one hairline ellipse, and type. They are ordered by nothing except a reference code, so you can point your printer at a number: JC‑01 uses the least ink, JC‑02 covers the cup completely.

The range

Shown as each would photograph — black-ink designs on an empty cup, white-ink designs over an iced drink.

JC-01

Solo Mark

The lockup, centred, and nothing else. The drink is the graphic; the cup only signs it.

Full Wrap

Ink floods the whole body so the cup reads as solid black. Everything else is knocked back out to clear.

The lockup turned on its side and run up the cup like a spine. Leaves the entire face open.

Oversize Crop

The ellipse from the mark blown up far past the cup, so only an arc crosses it. Confident, and almost no ink.

Halo

The ellipse repeated outward in hairlines, interrupted where the name sits. A system rather than an ornament.

Before you send it to print

Notes for whoever quotes the job.

Method

  • Dry offset holds fine hairlines and small type, and is the cheaper run for one colour. Use it for JC‑01, 04, 05, 06, 07, 09, 10, 11, 13 and 15.
  • Screen print lays ink thicker, which is what solid blocks and white need. Use it for JC‑02, 03, 08, 12 and 14.
  • White on clear usually needs a double hit of ink or it prints grey. Ask for it, and ask to see it over a dark drink, not on paper.

Artwork

  • Supply vector only — AI, EPS or PDF. Never send the lockup as a JPG or PNG.
  • Keep hairlines at 0.5 pt or heavier for black, 0.75 pt for white. Thinner lines break up on a curved cup.
  • Set everything in 100% K or 100% white. One ink cannot print a clean 40% grey — the halftone screen will look dirty on plastic.
  • Leave 8–10 mm clear at the rim and at the base. The cup curves in there and the print distorts.

Choosing

  • To keep the drink visible, stay under 15% coverage: JC‑01, 04, 05, 06, 10, 13, 15.
  • To read across a room, go heavy: JC‑02, 12, 14. These photograph hardest on social.
  • Pick one for the main run and one seasonal. Fifteen live at once reads as noise, not as a brand.
  • Run a press proof on the actual cup before the full order. Line weight always behaves differently on PET than on screen.
