Flexible self-adhesive printing equipment

Introduction to flexographic self-adhesive printing equipment

at present, self-adhesive labels are mainly printed in two ways, one is flexographic printing represented by Europe and the United States, and the other is relief printing represented by the Asia Pacific region. Due to the high cost, waterless offset printing is still a certain distance from the current market development. It is expected that in the next 10 years, the proportion of embossed printing will decline, the proportion of flexo printing will not change much, and the proportion of waterless offset printing will continue to rise and enter a period of rapid development

China's self-adhesive label printing began in the early 1980s. Represented by Beijing light industry printing factory, equipment, technology, processes and materials were all introduced from Japan. At the beginning, it was mainly in the form of web printing and processing. In the 1990s, many internationally renowned enterprises entered the Chinese market one after another, which also led to an increase in the demand for high-end self-adhesive labels, Many domestic printing 8 force control rate control accuracy rate <0.05% F.S brush enterprises began to use sheet fed offset printing machines to print self-adhesive labels, which not only greatly improved the printing quality of self-adhesive labels, but also achieved the printing effect that could not be achieved by flat, round and inclined label printing machines at that time. At the same time, it also reduced production costs, improved profits, and expanded market share and business scope. By the late 1990s, the demand for automatic labeling market was increasing, attracting foreign professional label printers to rush into China, developing and seizing China's self-adhesive label printing market. At the same time, some domestic printing enterprises have also actively introduced flexographic printing machines, intermittent rotary printing machines and other production lines, so that the printing capacity of domestic self-adhesive labels and the scale of medium and high-end label printing have been greatly improved and developed

at present, the domestic self-adhesive label printing industry is in a state of coexistence of various printing methods, including flexo printing, embossing printing, and offset printing. These printing methods have their own advantages, and no one can replace anyone. Exactly which printing method is more in line with the national conditions and the development of the market has always been the focus of debate. In fact, this should be analyzed in combination with the cultural background of the country and region, the level of economic development, the overall development level of the printing industry and other specific circumstances

for investors or business producers, when choosing self-adhesive label printing equipment, the key is to consider the development of the enterprise. If the mold cavity is calculated according to the known plastic part size and material shrinkage, it is d=m/(1-s). In order to simplify the calculation situation, market positioning and market demand in the mold design. According to the different development stages of the enterprise, it can be roughly divided into the following three situations

1. At the beginning of entrepreneurship, the company's customer positioning is basically small supermarkets, pharmaceutical factories, food factories, etc., and the label patterns are mostly lines and words, with low quality requirements and small batches. Operators can choose some small relief printing machines with low investment, such as nishita, lindco, Dasheng, Taiwan Chuanling, Shanxi Taihang and so on. However, it should be noted that the imported equipment should not be too much, so that we can not only gradually accumulate experience and funds to see the coke market continue to act slowly in a short time, but also develop and establish our own stable customer relationship in the market

2. With a certain amount of capital accumulation and customer resources, and growing enterprises, they often need to make an overall plan for their future development and market positioning. Operators can consider purchasing intermittent relief printing machines, such as Japan's Iwasaki, Taiwan's wankan, Luo tie, etc. such equipment has relatively less investment, low risk and quick effect. UV drying can be used, with clear printing points and bright colors. The intermittent relief printing machine has a wide range of applications. It does not need to replace the roller ruler. The so-called cupping experiment is that most self-adhesive labels can be printed with a certain specification of steel ball or ball punch, which can meet the needs of most customers

3. After the enterprise embarks on the road of large-scale operation, in order to keep pace with the market, constantly forge ahead, and actively seek greater development space, it should choose suitable label printing equipment according to the needs of the market and customer orders. It can consider investing in large-scale self-adhesive label production equipment, such as Nilpeter fa2500, Japan Ko pack, etc. With the increase of product batch and the improvement of product grade, the profit of label printing will also increase

the rules of market competition are survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest. Only by recognizing the situation and making the right choice can we remain invincible in today's fierce market competition
