Printing box after printing process

The rapid development of packaging and printing has led to the development of packaging, post-printing and post-processing technologies such as coating, die-cutting, hot stamping and pasting, and various solutions for packaging and post-press processing have increased the added value of packaging products. The flourishing development of the entire packaging printing market.

Glazing process
The glazing process can not only embellish the prints. And can give the print some special features, such as waterproof. Moisture protection. Protection of printed graphics. Increase paper fastness, etc. Many packaging users have maintained and consolidated the brand image of their products through the special effects produced by the glazing process, which has enabled the glazing technology and equipment to develop rapidly.

just now. Local UV coating has become the new favorite of packaging and printing companies. There are a variety of processes to achieve local uV coating, including screen printing local uV coating. Flexo uV coating. Gravure uV glazing and so on. And mixed ink technology. Inverse Uplight Online uV Coating has developed into a new art of partial uV coating. Hybrid inks combine the advantages of uV inks and traditional inks in terms of performance. That is, the advantages of photo-curing and oxidative polymerization drying improve the synergistic effect of the ink surface with uV varnish. Inverted light is the use of traditional glazing methods for local glazing. Finally, a local glossy printing is used to achieve the high contrast effect of local graphics. With local gloss, there are both high-gloss and non-high-gloss effects on the same print. And have a certain level of sense. There are four main forms of online uV coating process. Including ordinary ink + double gloss. Mixed ink + uV polish. UV ink + uV polish. UV ink + OP oil + UV gloss.

Die cutting process
Divided in die-cut form. Die-cutting process can be divided into round die-cutting die-cutting, die-cutting and flattening die-cutting. Flat die-cut die cutting can be used for a variety of different occasions, both high-speed continuous die cutting, but also manual semi-automatic die cutting. Widely used in various industries, occupying a dominant position in the domestic packaging and processing market. The application of wire-bonded round die-cutting in high-end fields such as cigarette packs has begun to take shape. The rounding process is rarely used. Mainly used for die cutting of large size products. With the constant update of technology. New die-cutting processes such as magnetic die-cutting and digital die-cutting have slowly matured. Magnetic die cutting is the use of split die-cutting roller (magnetic roller + die cutter version) of circular pressure die cutting. This process is not suitable for large quantities. Single order. And more suitable for small batches. Die-cutting processing of multi-order products. ABGraphic International's SabreExtreme laser die-cutting system is representative of the digital die-cutting process, which is specifically designed for the digital cutting of webs. During die cutting. No die-cut version is needed, and the die-cut data is stored in the prepress system, which controls the direction and energy intensity of the laser. Digital die-cutting is very fast and material waste is minimal.

Hot stamping process
Hot stamping process can be divided into hot stamping. Cold stamping. Embossing hot stamping and holographic hot stamping and other ways of hot stamping can be based on the different aluminum materials. Divided into ordinary aluminum hot stamping and holographic aluminum foil hot stamping.

Hot stamping foil chemical properties improve. Provides a reliable guarantee for a significant increase in hot stamping speed. therefore. The hot stamping process has now been completed online. First hot post-printing has become another development trend of hot stamping process. This also benefits from the improvement and improvement of the chemical properties of hot stamping foils. Thus, UV inks can be used to print on hot stamping foils. Overprinting opaque or transparent color inks after hot stamping can achieve attractive effects and provide packaging designers with endless design solutions.

Cold stamping does not require the use of heated metal plates. Instead, the foil is transferred using a printing adhesive. Cold stamping process can be divided into dry film cold stamping and wet film cold stamping. This kind of process has low cost. save energy. high productivity. Hot stamping substrate for a wide range of applications. There is no need for special hot stamping equipment and the use of existing equipment components is a promising new process.

Holographic hot stamping According to the characteristics of the hologram hot stamping identification, it is divided into continuous pattern holographic marking hot stamping and independent pattern holographic marking hot stamping. Because the holographic hot stamping mark is easy to identify and difficult to imitate, it is more and more widely used in high-grade carton packaging.
