The general packaging printing process is design-plate making-printing-die cutting. The design is to use label design software for product packaging pattern design and typesetting. After the packaging pattern design is completed, plate making is carried out, and then printing is carried out. Various common types can be used in the middle. The printing tools realize the printing of patterns, such as hot stamping, UV printing, embossing, embossing, embossing, etc. Printing tools are finally die-cut into finished products. Today I will introduce you to several common printing processes in the packaging printing process. .
Several common printing processes in the packaging printing process:
1. Laminating: also known as "over-plastic", "laminating", "sticking film", etc. The laminating is a transparent plastic film pasted on the surface of the printed matter through hot pressing to protect and increase the gloss. At the same time, the color of the picture and text It is more colorful, waterproof and anti-fouling, and can be divided into two parts: surface processing and molding processing. Laminating film has been widely used in book covers, picture albums, souvenir albums, postcards, product manuals, wall calendars and maps for surface binding and protection.
2, bronzing and silver bronzing: bronzing is a common printing decoration process, also known as "hot stamping". Its production principle is to heat the metal printing plate, apply foil, and emboss golden characters or patterns on the printed matter. Bronzing silver is similar to bronzing, except that the materials used are different. Bronzing will show a golden luster, while hot silver will show a silver luster. The characteristics of bronzing and silver bronzing: clear and beautiful patterns, bright and eye-catching colors, and are often used for logo printing.
3. UV jet printing: It is a printing process that cures the ink through ultraviolet light drying, and it is one of the most important printing processes in the printing industry. Its characteristics: It can increase the gloss and artistic effect of the product, and better highlight the subtle layers and outlines of the graphics and text.
4. Concave-convex embossing: the convex template (male template) is used to emboss the surface of the printed matter into a three-dimensional relief-like pattern (the printed matter is partially convex to make it three-dimensional and cause visual impact) through pressure. It is called convex ; Concavity is achieved through pressure using a concave template (female template). Its characteristics are: it has a clear sense of relief, which can increase the three-dimensional sense and artistic appeal of the printed matter.
