Dear members,

Is there a way to coat containers and cups made of polystyrene foam with metal or some other decorative materials.This coating must resist shocks and can be cleaned .

Thanks in advance and best regards.

typically this would be done by inserting a film in one half the mold before the cup is made and the beads expanded.

also for EPP - expanded polypro

here for ideas:
