As an emerging force in the printing industry, self-adhesive label printing has become a topic of much discussion in the industry in the past two years. Apart from the application, development, maturity, and perfection of the printing process itself, the overall external supply chain is also gradually enriched and improved. It can be said that the current industry competition is very fierce. With the shortening of the cycle of mature technology, it can be predicted that the industry competition will become more intense in the future. Based on the long-term development of printing companies, in order to obtain the strength of continuing operations, mutual cooperation with suppliers is very important. For printing costs, how to choose a good supplier has become a topic that printing companies must face because raw materials account for a considerable portion of printing costs. As a part of the industry's overall supply chain, printing companies and suppliers to effectively cooperate and obtain the best cost-effective products are the work that printing companies must carefully examine. After all, underpricing and competition is not the long-term development of the industry, and a win-win situation is the industry's healthy development and growth.
This paper analyzes the selection of adhesive label materials, terminal applications, and suppliers' choices so that the printing company can obtain the most cost-effective products.
First, on the label material
At present, there are many types of self-adhesive label materials, which mainly appear from the three components of adhesives, namely: surface materials, pressure-sensitive adhesives (adhesives), and substrates (commonly known as silicone oil-coated release materials. Substrate) Different surface materials, pressure sensitive adhesives, and substrates can be combined with many self-adhesive label materials.
Non-professional users tend to focus only on the choice of face materials because they can directly exhibit design and visual effects. In fact, what is the most important quality sticker material is the adhesive and substrate hidden under the "face". After all, before the labels are shipped from the factory, the quality of the surface materials is easily checked before printing, during printing, and inspection of finished products, which results in less loss for the users, while adhesives are vulnerable to labeling or use environment (temperature, humidity, etc.) Influence, the characteristics of different stickers are also different options for the adhesive. Adhesives are usually exposed at the time of labeling, or for a certain period of time, or even for a considerable period of time, resulting in the greatest loss to the user. Severe spills can damage the printing equipment; low-grade substrates or silicone oil coating Bad coverage, will also be exposed in the cutting, labeling, printing, cut through, flying mark, no standard, cardboard and other use problems, but also will cause greater losses to the user.
The main types and characteristics of pressure sensitive adhesives on the market are as follows:
(1) Solvent type adhesive: It is dissolved in a solvent, economical, and adaptable to various use environments, but it has great toxicity to the human body. It has been banned from use in developed countries in Europe and America, and is still widely used in China for wet wipes, sanitary napkins, daily chemical products, and even food labels that are in direct contact with the human body.
(2) Emulsion adhesives: dissolved in water, harmless to the environment, suitable for most operations;
(3) hot melt adhesive: prefabricated adhesive;
(4) UV hot melt adhesive: It is a new technology that can be cured with a UV lamp.
Most of the high-end adhesive label materials use emulsion type and hot-melt adhesives as pressure-sensitive adhesives. For printing companies, making choices among numerous products is not an easy task. Because different adhesives have different advantages and disadvantages, and correspond to the surface and environment of different stickers, the search for the most commonly used The products are the common interests of printing companies and suppliers. Because a widely used product is relatively easy to produce and has a stable high quality, the same supplier of sticker materials also saves the storage time and space for the printing company.
Second, the adhesive material surface material
The most surface materials used in adhesive label materials are classified into paper and chemical films. Common face materials and features are as follows.
(1) Offset paper: also known as writing paper, moulded paper, matte paper with non-coated surface, general application of monochrome printing or printing, barcode information labels, can also be written directly.
(2) Coated paper: It is a medium-gloss paper with coated paper whose coated paper is coated on the surface of the paper. The flatness is high, and the surface brightness is lower than that of mirror coated paper. Currently used in the pharmaceutical industry and food industry under color printing, it is also hot. Better print material for transfer barcode labels.
(3) mirror coated paper: super calendered, high surface gloss, applied to the label of the product requires bright color printing. Like medicines, health products and other industries.
(4) Thermal paper: Commonly used information labels for supermarkets are also currently used for thermal printing information labels for large logistics companies.
(5) Heat Transfer Paper: A self-adhesive label material specially developed for thermal transfer printing. The surface of the tissue paper is treated with a special coating, especially for small barcodes, so that the barcode will not be scanned when scanning product barcodes. Bar code breaks, broken lines and can not be identified, but also, face paper is not easy to change color, durable longer than coated paper.
(6) Laser printing paper for office use: The materials for laser printers that are commonly used in the market use offset paper. However, the high temperature and high speed of the printer make the pressure sensitive adhesive vulnerable to glue leakage and can easily damage the printer. Special laser printing paper stickers can solve this problem. There are also some unusual paper label surface materials such as shredded paper, aluminum foil paper, etc. that are also used in food, health care products, alcoholic products and so on.
(7) PE film: Polyethylene film, the surface is bright white, sub-white, bright silver and transparent, etc., more flexible, with the characteristics of water resistance, oil resistance, extrusion resistance, should be widely applied to daily chemical products, such as Shampoo, shower gel and other products.
(8) PP film: polypropylene film, the surface is bright white, white, silver, transparent, with water, oil resistance, stiffness and other characteristics. Ultra-transparent PP self-adhesive label material, due to its high transparency, is affixed to a transparent bottle body and looks like it has no labeling visual effect. Also widely used in daily chemical products and cosmetics and other fields.
(9) PET film: Polyester film with surface treated and untreated. The surface is bright white, white, transparent and various metallized bright silver, silver and other kinds. Due to its high stiffness, it has the characteristics of water resistance, temperature resistance, oil resistance, and solvent resistance, and is suitable for label materials of various types of electronic products and machinery attached to the plane.
(10) PVC film: PVC film, the surface is transparent, white, sub-white, with water, oil, solvent resistance and other characteristics, mainly used in chemical products. PVC film with shrinkage properties can be used as a battery shrink label material.
