Customized design decals on melamine tableware will add a creative touch to the appearance of the products. To ensure durability, decal paper, an ultra-thin and food-safe material, is used. Graphics are printed on the paper, and a top layer of transparent glaze (using melamine glazing powder) is applied to protect and seal the artwork, prolonging the lifespan of the tableware.
Today Huafu Chemicals will introduce the design of decal paper on melamine tableware for you.
The decal starts with design creation, by printing, curing, and drying. Each decal is then meticulously hand-cut and applied to the products. It's worth noting that custom decals can be applied without the need for new molds, allowing you to select tableware from the existing product range and personalize it with your own design or logo, making it uniquely yours.
There are three common options for applying design decals on tableware.
1. Full-surface Decals
Apply decals across the entire surface of the tableware.
2. Center Decals
Apply decals in the center of the tableware.
3. Rim Decals
Apply decals on the rim of the tableware.
However, it is not advisable to use full-surface or center decals in high-volume settings where tableware undergoes frequent use. These areas are more susceptible to wear and tear, especially when sharp utensils are regularly used. Rim decals, on the other hand, tend to be more durable and suitable for such environments as the glaze helps protect the artwork from peeling or cracking.
In all, by understanding the intricacies of the decal application process and choosing appropriate decal placement, you can enhance the visual appeal of melamine tableware while ensuring its longevity, even under demanding circumstances.
