COFFEE CAPSULES

The printing distortion system employed in coffee capsule manufacturing involves a sophisticated technique that counteracts the natural distortions caused during the UV mapping 3D process. UV mapping is a method used to apply textures or artwork onto 3D surfaces, ensuring that graphics conform accurately to the shape and contours of the object. However, when applied to the curved surface of coffee capsules, this process often results in distorted or stretched artwork, affecting the visual representation on the side walls.

To resolve this issue, a reverse engineering approach is utilized, transforming the 3D UV-mapped layout into a 2D flat representation. This entails meticulously unwrapping and flattening the 3D surface onto a 2D plane, effectively compensating for the distortions that would occur when printed on the curved surface of the coffee capsule.

By employing this innovative artwork system, manufacturers can achieve precise and undistorted graphics on the capsule side walls. This capability opens the door for brands to offer co-branded products and personalized solutions to consumers of single-serve coffee. The accurate printing of non-distorted content allows for intricate designs, logos, branding, and personalized images to be faithfully represented on the curved surface of the coffee capsules, enhancing brand visibility and providing a unique and customizable experience for customers. This technology paves the way for creative collaborations between brands, enabling them to deliver visually appealing and distinct products in the single-serve coffee market
