Now, through the efforts of Shubh Pranamya, Chako Lab is set to make its debut in the Indian market, bringing its celebrated products to a new audience.

Our Vision

The core vision of Chako Lab is to transform everyday objects into symbols of personal expression and style. Recognizing that drinkware is more than just a utility item, Chako Lab aims to make it a statement piece that resonates with its users. By combining fashion-forward designs with innovative features, we ensure our products cater to the tastes and needs of younger, trend-conscious consumers.

Our Journey

From humble beginnings to becoming a global leader, Chako Lab’s journey has been marked by continuous innovation. In 2020, our designers revolutionized the drinkware industry by introducing bold colors and soft curves, giving water cups a new identity as objects of emotional expression. Today, our product range includes insulated vacuum cups, tumblers, and eco-friendly bottles, each meticulously crafted to deliver unparalleled performance.

Innovation at the Core

Innovation is embedded in the DNA of Chako Lab. Our team of designers and engineers work tirelessly to develop new features, enhance user experiences, and maintain the highest quality standards. Some of our most notable innovations include:

The use of SUS316 stainless steel, which outperforms SUS304 in durability and safety, making our products suitable for a wide range of beverages.
Advanced vacuum insulation technology that keeps drinks hot for 24 hours and cold for 36 hours.
Ergonomic designs that prioritize user comfort while elevating aesthetic appeal.

Our Commitment to India

With the launch of Chako Lab in India, Shubh Pranamya aims to replicate the brand’s global success by addressing the unique needs of Indian consumers. Our products are tailored to meet the demands of a diverse demographic, ensuring quality, safety, and style in every purchase.

2. Chako Experiments

At Chako Lab, every product undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets our high standards for quality and performance. Our in-house experiments are designed to validate the functionality, safety, and durability of our drinkware. Below is an in-depth look at some of the key experiments conducted in our state-of-the-art facility:

Temperature Retention Test

One of our flagship tests involves evaluating the insulation capabilities of our vacuum drinkware. Using industry-standard procedures, we:

Heat a beverage to 98°C or chill it to -19.3°C.
Place the beverage in our vacuum container.
Monitor temperature changes over a 24-hour period for hot liquids and 36 hours for cold liquids.

The results demonstrate the remarkable efficiency of our insulation technology. For example, after 12 hours, a hot beverage retains a temperature of 67.6°C, while a cold beverage remains near 0°C.

Note: These experiments are conducted internally under controlled conditions. While we stand by the accuracy of our results, we are actively pursuing third-party certifications to provide additional assurance to our customers.

SUS316 vs. SUS304 Durability Tests

To highlight the superiority of SUS316 stainless steel, we conducted a comparative study:

SUS316: Suitable for all types of beverages, including milk tea, soybean milk, and fruit tea. Resistant to corrosion and staining, making it ideal for prolonged use.
SUS304: Limited compatibility with certain beverages, leading to potential corrosion over time.

The tests validate SUS316 as the material of choice for our premium products.

Sealing and Durability Tests

Our drinkware is subjected to rigorous stress tests to ensure durability and leak-proof performance. These include:

Drop tests from various heights to simulate accidental falls.
Pressure tests to assess the strength of vacuum seals.
Long-term usage simulations to evaluate wear and tear.

Material Safety Tests

Safety is paramount at Chako Lab. All materials used in our products are tested for:

BPA-free compliance.
Resistance to high temperatures.
Absence of harmful chemicals or toxins.

3. Safety Instructions

To ensure optimal use and longevity of Chako Lab products, we provide the following safety guidelines:

Before First Use

Wash the product thoroughly with warm water and mild detergent.
Rinse and dry completely to remove any manufacturing residues.

Usage Precautions

Do not use the cup for carbonated beverages, as the pressure may compromise the seal.
Avoid microwaving or exposing the product to direct flames or stovetops.
Do not overfill the container; leave space to secure the lid properly.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Hand wash the product with a soft sponge to prevent scratches.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steel wool.
Periodically clean the vacuum seal to maintain its effectiveness.

Storage Tips

Store the product in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.

Warnings

Keep out of reach of children when filled with hot liquids.
Handle with care to avoid spills or burns.

4. Insights Into Our 36-Hour Cold and 24-Hour Hot Insulation Tests

The hallmark of Chako Lab’s drinkware is its unparalleled insulation performance. Here’s a closer look at how we achieve and validate these results:

The Science Behind Vacuum Insulation

Vacuum insulation works by creating an airless space between the inner and outer walls of the container. This design minimizes heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation, ensuring your beverage retains its original temperature for extended periods.

Internal Testing Procedures

Our temperature retention tests involve:

Placing a liquid at the desired starting temperature into the container.
Using precision thermometers to record temperature changes at regular intervals.
Conducting tests in a controlled environment to eliminate external variables.

Results

The results of our tests are as follows:

Hot Liquids: After 12 hours, the temperature drops from 98°C to 67.6°C.
Cold Liquids: After 12 hours, the temperature rises marginally from -19.3°C to 0.4°C.

Disclaimer: These results are based on internal experiments. While we are confident in their accuracy, third-party validations are in progress to add credibility.
