Ideally elements need to be arched so envelope distortion matches horizontal and vertical lines of the grid.
Use our gridlines to adjust elements using warping effect in Illustrator to make elements appear straight on the cup. This is due to uncoated paper which ‘soaks’ in some of the ink. Line thicknesses below 0.5pt might differ from screen appearance, especially on matt finish cups with dark backgrounds and bright graphic elements.

But there are some colors to watch out for. For the most part this is very accurate. We convert all Pantone references to the CMYK version of this reference using up-to-date Pantone Color Bridges Books. If you have specific Pantone references for your brand, no problem. This process is great for accurate representation of photos and graphics. Our main printing process used for printing cups is high resolution full color process CMYK. Avoid RGB or spot colors when not needed.
