Tag coated paper is printed in a variety of processes designed to enhance the visual effect, texture and durability of the tag. The following are some common tag coated paper printing processes:
1. Gold/Silver stamping:
Hot stamping and hot silver is through the hot press transfer technology, the aluminum layer (or other metal foil) in electrolytic aluminum is transferred to the surface of the paper under a certain temperature and pressure, forming a special metal effect.
This process can greatly improve the grade of the tag, making the product more beautiful and attractive. At the same time, the hot printing part of the pattern is clear, beautiful, bright colors, especially suitable for trademarks, registered names and other information that needs to be highlighted.
2. UV glazing:
UV glazing is a printing process in which ink is dried and cured by ultraviolet irradiation. In tag printing, local UV glazing is often used for selective glazing of printed graphics.
UV varnish has high brightness, transparency and wear resistance, which can improve the decoration effect and protection performance of the printed surface while highlighting the theme.
3. Convex and concave embossing:
The convex and concave embossing process uses a concave and convex mold to deform the printed product under a certain pressure, so as to imprint various patterns, words or logos on the surface of the tag.
This process can make the tag surface have a convex effect, enhance the three-dimensional sense, and make the whole tag look more textured.
4. Die Cut:
The die-cutting process is to make the designed tag graphics into a die-cutting knife for cutting, so that the tag is no longer limited to the shape of a right Angle straight edge.
Die cutting can make the tag have a more diverse shape and edge treatment, enhance the uniqueness and appeal of the tag.
5. Copperplate printing (specific printing method based on coated paper) :
Copper plate printing is a traditional printing method, which takes copper plate as printing plate and prints through the process of photosensitivity, etching and offset printing.
When printing on coated paper, it will go through steps such as glazing, photosensitivity, washing, etching and offset printing, and finally form a high-fidelity, fine image and brightly colored print.
6. Other auxiliary processes:
Such as corning (punching holes in the tag and reinforcing the metal ring to increase durability), local embossed (enhancing the layer of the printed pattern), etc., these processes can be selected and applied according to the specific needs and design style of the tag.
In summary, there are a variety of printing processes for tag coated paper, and the right combination of processes can be selected according to different needs and design objectives to produce high-quality tag products.
