This method ensures the cup retains its clarity, smooth texture, and robustness. The rolled rim is carefully formed to eliminate sharp edges, ensuring a safe user experience. Post-production finishing techniques help maintain the cup’s high transparency and polished appearance, giving it a premium look and feel. The reinforced base is formed during the molding process to enhance durability and prevent the cup from losing its shape.
