Traditional cup sleeves can tolerate a big range of manufacturing errors because they have only one purpose which is thermal insulation. PK sleeves , however, provide additional function which is liftable. Therefore, the quality management is very important to us and to our users.
We have established a Standard Operation Process to inspect and test the final products to make certain that the PK Sleeves will have the best quality when they are in our customer’s hand.
1 Visual Inspection :
At the end of the conveyer of gluing machine we eliminated some obviously damaged or largely misaligned products. This is easy to detect since they normally occur in groups due to certain malfunction of gluing machine.
2. Die Cutting and Gluing Quality Tests:
Randomly pick 5 for every 100,000 products and nest them with paper cups to check the integrity of the products. The straps shall not pop out, the glued area shall not burst open, the pre-cut K-lines shall not split apart.
3. Strength Tests:
Product Standards and Testing Methods :
Swing Durability: Fill with 450 grams of water (about 95% of 16oz), the PK Sleeve shall withstand 500 cycles of back and forth swing with a rate of 40 cpm and 30 degree of amplitude
