- Our kids cups have full color labels molded into the sides of the cups during the cup molding process. This process is known as IML (in-mold labeling).
- The billboard or artwork space around the entire cup is maximized from top to bottom giving you more room to advertise.
- The graphics look superior to traditional kids cups as a result of the use of high resolution, full color, digitally printed labels that are dropped into the cup mold when the cup is molded/manufactured. The molded labels can't be removed from the sidewalls of the cups because they become part of the cup construction.
- Our plastic kids cups are also very durable and longer lasting as a result of the full color labels being molded into the cups. The labels/graphics can't be removed or scratched and the cups are top shelf dishwasher safe.
- Our cups are manufactured in the U.S.A.

In the in-mold labeling process, a label is placed in the open mold and held in the desired position by electrostatic attraction. The mold closes and molten plastic resin is injected into the mold where it conforms to the shape of the object. The hot plastic envelopes the label, making it an integral part of the molded object. The difference between glue applied labels and in-mold labels is that a glue applied label is "on" the surface of the plastic object; the in-mold label is "in" the wall of the object.
