Self adhesive label printing is becoming more and more mature in China, and the technology is also constantly innovating, showing a thriving scene. So, what is the development trend of adhesive label printing in the future? Today, I will discuss this issue with you:
1. The ideal way for future sticker printing: flexographic printing
Almost 80% of flexographic printing machines in developed countries are used to print adhesive labels. As the unit flexographic printing machine can be combined at will, it can print various types of labels, including short version labels and special labels, when the spare parts are complete. Therefore, flexographic printing is the ideal way for the future sticker industry to print labels.
2. UV flexographic printing is developing rapidly and tends to replace UV embossing
Label printing requires bright colors. Because the color of UV flexographic ink is close to that of UV embossing ink, and the structure of flexographic press is simpler than that of embossing press, foreign printing enterprises have adopted UV flexographic printing instead of UV embossing to reduce costs.
3. Combination printing will develop rapidly
The combined printing machine can arbitrarily combine a variety of different printing methods on one printing machine to meet the requirements of different customers, which is also the most advanced label processing equipment we have seen in foreign exhibitions. In production, we often encounter the situation that a label can only be printed and processed on multiple machines. If a combined printing machine is used, it can not only improve the production efficiency, meet the processing requirements of some special requirements for labels, but also avoid the waste of manpower and material resources.
4. New materials and processes will be widely used
Material, technology and equipment are the three elements of label printing. Using new materials and new technology, various new labels can be processed on the combined printing machine. Multilayer labels used in the pharmaceutical industry, double-sided labels, film labels, and electronic labels used in the cosmetics industry, in mold labels, smart labels, and anti-counterfeit labels stuck on machine oil drums are all produced using new materials and processes.
Label printing is a rapidly developing field in the printing industry. As the label printing machine is a linkage machine, raw materials enter from the paper feeding department, and finished labels are already processed from the paper receiving end, so the economic benefits are high, and it is no longer necessary to use other equipment for supporting processing. With the prosperity of the market and the improvement of commodity packaging and decoration, the self-adhesive label industry is on the rise. There is no doubt that China's self-adhesive label printing in recent years will have greater development.
