What are the disadvantages of coated paper tags?

Coated paper tags do have some shortcomings in the printing and use process, mainly including the following aspects:

1. The performance deteriorates after encountering tide

Silty sticking, falling off: After the surface coating of coated paper meets moisture, the silty is easy to stick and fall off, which will affect the appearance quality of the tag, and may also lead to fuzzy or lost information.

Can not be stored for a long time: due to the instability of the performance after the tide, the coated paper tag is not suitable for long-term storage, which may be a limitation in some cases that require long-term display or archiving.

2. Too much gloss may cause discomfort

Visual discomfort: In some cases, the high gloss of coated paper may produce strong reflection, resulting in visual discomfort, especially under strong light irradiation.

3. It is inconvenient to write and modify

Smooth surface is not suitable for writing: coated paper surface is smooth, not suitable for direct writing, because the handwriting is not easy to dry, easy to be erased. This makes it difficult when adding handwritten messages or changes to the tag.

4. The physical properties are relatively weak

Soft paper: Compared with some harder paper, coated paper may appear soft, which affects its durability and smoothness as a tag to a certain extent. While this can be improved by increasing the paper weight, it also increases the cost.

Easy to scratch: the surface coating of coated paper is thin, easy to be scratched and damaged, affecting the appearance. In order to prevent scratching, some high-grade coated paper tags may choose to be coated, but this will also increase the cost and complexity of production.

5. Environmental protection and sustainability

Environmental issues: Some chemicals may be used in the production process of coated paper, which has a certain impact on the environment. Although the modern paper industry has taken many environmental measures to reduce this impact, coated paper still has room for improvement in terms of environmental protection and sustainability.

In summary, the coated paper tag has certain shortcomings in moisture performance, gloss, writing modification, physical properties and environmental protection. However, because of its smooth surface, high whiteness, good ink-absorbing performance and other advantages, coated paper is still widely used in the printing industry. When choosing coated paper as a tag material, it is necessary to weigh and consider it according to specific needs and use scenarios.
