1 hot stamping: the scientific name is called thermal pressure transfer printing, referred to as thermal transfer printing, commonly known as hot stamping, hot stamping silver. Relatively there is a cold transfer printing.
2 UV: that is, ultraviolet light, UV is the abbreviation, "UV transparent oil" is the full name, is to rely on ultraviolet radiation in order to dry the curing ink. UV is usually silk screen printing process, and now there are also offset UV.
3 embossing, embossing: the scientific name of the embossing, the pressure to make the printed object to produce a localized change in the formation of patterns. Formation of patterns of the process, is a metal plate corrosion after becoming a pressure plate and the bottom of the two pieces of the press fit. Divided into cheap ordinary corrosion version and expensive laser engraving version of two kinds.
4 beer: Guangdong pronunciation of "turtle", is the meaning of die-cutting.
5 Jin Cong: is the first layer of glue on the paper, and then sprinkle gold dust on the glue.
6 YO: is a spring-like object, plastic mostly, generally used in calendars and notebooks on the spine, turn the pages connected.
7 overglued: to the printed paper pressed a layer of transparent plastic film, crystal film, light film and matte film, many places called some different, not environmentally friendly.
8 pinhole: also known as the needle line, dental floss, that is, to the paper pressed out of a half-connected line, usually found in the package opening.
9 Perforation: is required by the size of a piece of paper or N paper to get a hole out, there are specialized punching machines.
10 flocking: is to give the paper on the brush layer of glue, and then paste a layer of similar fluffy material, so that the paper looks and feels a little bit of velvet feeling.
Specialty printing processes are :
1. Inkjet Printing
Inkjet printing is a highly efficient way of special printing, which can be applied to the production line of the packaging industry, rapid printing of the production date, batch number and bar code and other content. Since inkjet printing is pressureless printing and uses a variety of ink types, it has a very wide range of substrates, which can be a variety of packaging products. This undoubtedly provides a great deal of freedom for the packaging production line. At present, inkjet printing there are many applications are not known, how to utilize inkjet printing technology is undoubtedly a hot technical issues, as long as we use it well, I believe it can bring us unexpected results.
Digital technology continues to progress, inkjet printing also has a very fast development, some technical problems have been perfectly solved, which makes the inkjet printing product quality has a qualitative leap. At present, some high-end inkjet printing products in the hue level, clarity, color saturation and other aspects are close to the level of traditional printing. Some of its inherent advantages have also been further developed, and its printing speed is accelerated and printing accuracy is improved. In combination with the database, inkjet printing is fully capable of variable data printing, which brings a boon to the differentiated and personalized production of packaging prints. If the latest JDF production standards, inkjet printing equipment is also easy to integrate into the entire printing plant's digital production process, so as to achieve better control of the equipment, to achieve higher production efficiency. The two main features of inkjet printing are "print on demand" and "personalization". These two features can meet the emerging needs of the packaging market. Today, with a digital printing unit of narrow label packaging printing line is very common, and digital printing machine can be and die cutting equipment and post-press processing line production line, to achieve higher quality and faster turnaround.
2. Anti-counterfeiting printing
It can be said that in the field of packaging printing, anti-counterfeiting printing has a vital role. If the general products need a significant product identification, then many high-grade products will have to need a set of perfect anti-counterfeiting system. This is the manufacturer's needs and also the needs of consumers, so anti-counterfeiting printing in packaging and decorative products are widely used in printing, and with the continuous improvement of people's awareness of the brand and increase in the protection of intellectual property rights, I believe that anti-counterfeiting printing will have a great market prospects. Currently there is a general situation: many ordinary printers do not have the ability to anti-counterfeiting printing, so they have to outsource the order, in many cases, the order is more profitable than the simple printing order.
Common anti-counterfeiting methods are: laser holographic anti-counterfeiting, special ink anti-counterfeiting, plate making and printing process anti-counterfeiting, special paper anti-counterfeiting. At present, the anti-counterfeiting methods commonly used in packaging and decorative printing are the first three. With laser holographic anti-counterfeiting technology, packaging products not only have an intuitive anti-counterfeiting effect, but also beautifully printed patterns shine in the sun, such as the rainbow in general, colorful, and able to attract the attention of consumers, so this technology is very suitable for packaging printing. The use of special ink anti-counterfeiting technology is a low-cost method. Because in general, it does not need to add additional equipment, the transformation of the existing printing process is not very large. At present, there are also many products using this anti-counterfeiting technology. This technology is a good way to improve the added value of printing products, because it is less investment and quick results. The application of anti-counterfeiting technology in plate making and printing process is a comprehensive anti-counterfeiting way, this technology is also born in response to the demand for high quality packaging products. This anti-counterfeiting technology utilizes a variety of printing equipment, a variety of printing processes penetrate each other, a variety of processes combined with each other, especially the introduction of some unique special printing methods. All this makes the final product has a strong anti-counterfeiting function. But at the same time also increase the cost of production and its production complexity, the larger printing press in the application of this technology is more comfortable with some. Of course, the use of this technology will be a challenge to the production level of the printing plant, which requires the printing plant has a high degree of stability and accuracy of the printing equipment, has a perfect quality control and management system, with experienced and skilled technicians, all of which is to improve the added value of the product is a strong guarantee. ?
In some places, the special traditional printing process has not been lost, due to the mastery of the technology of fewer people, these special printing techniques have also gradually become one of the production means of anti-counterfeiting printing, such as woodcut printing prints, due to its ancient and rare, has also become a personalized and high value-added printing products with national characteristics.
