Imitation, or copycat, is what the original team hates the most, because it is difficult for consumers to judge imitation products. Some factories see that water cups from other factories are selling well in the market and have great buying potential. Their own production capacity and the degree of responsibility caused by product imitation are imitated. Some are directly imitated and the material requirements are reduced without investing in research and development costs. Therefore, consumers will find two identical water cups in the market. Why are they retailed? Prices will vary greatly. There are also some factories that take advantage of some loopholes in national patent regulations to make slight adjustments or partial adjustments to other people’s products, and then re-produce and manufacture them. This situation is just a side ball. Although the original factory cannot be held accountable, this approach is really annoying. Disdainful.
Here are some common violations used by inferior water cup factories:
1. Use inferior materials
In recent years, 316 stainless steel has become more popular in the stainless steel water cup market. However, due to the high price of 316 material, some inferior water cup manufacturers have come up with crooked ideas. The editor mentioned in a previous article that the steel symbol mark at the bottom of the stainless steel water cup is not rigidly stipulated by an authoritative organization. It is added by various factories and water cup brands in order to increase product purchase points. It can well identify the material model and also It can increase the difference from other water cups on the market
So most of these low-quality factories will use these methods. Some of the better ones will use 316 stainless steel for the inner bottom of the water cup, and then mark it with the 316 stainless steel symbol, use 304 stainless steel for the inner tube wall, and use 201 stainless steel for the outer shell, misleading consumers in this way. , making the market think that such water cups are made of 316. This method allows these inferior factories to avoid some risks. Secondly, some factories use 316 for the bottom, and all other parts on the water cup are made of 201 material. What’s more, the bottom is not made of 316 but only marked with the 316 symbol. As for the material of the stainless steel water cup, it is not even 201 stainless steel.
Inferior plastic water cup manufacturers will mix in regrind (waste) during production. These rebates or waste are the beginning or end of the material that was too high or contaminated during previous production. Some materials still have a lot of oil stains, but After being crushed and then added again for use, it seems to have become an open secret in many plastic water cup industries in recent years. Some poor factories don’t even use any new materials, and rely entirely on recycled materials for processing. Some of the materials are even accumulated after starting the machine many times. It is conceivable how such a plastic water cup can be healthy. In the previous article, we mentioned in detail what should be paid attention to when buying a plastic water cup.

2. Cutting corners
Cutting corners and cutting materials has become a common method used by inferior factories. In order to reduce costs, these factories are extremely “smart”. Take the stainless steel thermos cup as an example. According to the product structure, there will be rigid requirements for the thickness of the material and the production process during production. However, these factories will deliberately reduce the material thickness. When the material thickness decreases, the material cost will naturally decrease. However, as the material thickness changes If the vacuuming process is performed after the thinning, the hardness and pulling force are insufficient, so they will reduce the vacuuming time, that is, the vacuuming is insufficient. In this case, the water cup is often not much different from the normal water cup when it is first used, but it usually has the ability to retain heat after half a year. There will be a cliff-like decline.
It is also a stainless steel insulated water cup. In order to ensure the heat preservation performance of the water cup, not only a complete vacuuming process but also a copper plating process is required for the inner liner of the water cup. In order to reduce costs, these factories will omit this process.
The most common way to cut corners is to change the standard time of each process, such as the spraying process. The surface spraying temperature of most stainless steel thermos cups requires baking at 120°C for 20 minutes. However, some factories will reduce the baking time in order to reduce costs. The result of this is that because it is not fully baked and cannot form good contact with the stainless steel surface, the paint will appear cracked and begin to fall off in patches after a period of use.
There are many ways for inferior factories to produce illegally. We will tell you about it in the following articles. Interested friends can follow our website so that you will see it in time every time the article is updated.
