First, the natural packaging is ingenious
Many printers are faced with the problem of “transformation”. In fact, in the biological world, if a beautiful butterfly can't break out, it can't fly to the blue sky, and smell the sweet juice in the flowers. The same is true of the business. After the market becomes old, it is not only tasteless, but also erodes the foundation of enterprise development, and finally leads to the dumping of enterprises. Because the only constant in the world is that everything will change, but like packaging materials and packaging and printing, under the continuous development of human civilization, it will continue to be used and developed. Everyone thinks that only human beings can invent packaging. In fact, there are many examples of natural animals and plants using packaging to breed the next generation. For example, a coconut falls into the sea and can travel across the sea for one or two thousand kilometers. It grows on the other beach by tidal growth and grows. The whole coconut can float and move to the position of the outer coconut shell. A bird eats ripe fruit, but brings the seed into the digestive tract. The seed is not invaded by the bird's digestive juice and grows on the new land. In the animal kingdom, the egg of the oviparous animal reaches the strongest shape structure with the least coating material. Don't look at an egg that is very fragile. If a person's single palm has not been practiced, it will not break it. Therefore, human aircraft often have to use the low-energy and high-efficiency flight methods of the Eagles, and the packaging is simplified, efficient, and environmentally friendly. Naturally, it is also one of the directions.
Second. Packaging material technology without chemical pulping
Yongfengyu Papermaking Co., Ltd. has made a technological breakthrough in the use of bio-degradable special enzyme strains to decompose into a useful fiber, so that there is no acid or alkali in the waste liquid. Chemicals, easy to handle, and even available lignin and other derivatives, plus the use of this fiber as a packaging cushioning material, compared to polymers that cannot regenerate petrochemical materials, can be easily reduced and reduced Waste incineration, in addition, can be remanufactured after use, and then placed in the garbage dump can also be degraded in the natural world, so that the dust is returned to the dust, and the soil returns to the organic fertilizer of nature. If you can achieve commercial operation mode in such a recyclable way, it is also a very attractive new packaging technology.
Third, can't take the old road again. Look at the new map.
At the end of China's 12th Five-Year Plan, the total output value of China's printing industry statistics has exceeded one trillion yuan, which is the scale of five trillion Taiwan dollars, compared with the printing output industry's most important output value in 2005, starting from the 11th Five-Year Plan. The output value of printing has not declined, but there has been some growth, but in the composition ratio, the printing and printing has dropped from 25% to 15%. On the contrary, the packaging printing has increased from 65% to 75%. In other words, the dynamism of the Chinese printing industry has grown tremendously. Packaging and Printing. Therefore, many publishing and printing companies also want to change the viable truth of survival. They hope to shift their production focus to more profitable packaging and printing. I don’t know that most of the transformation packaging producers are forging. Why? Why has it failed to transform from publishing to packaging? It turned out that the industry that had the publishing and printing "foundation" formed a barrier to transformation. This is an obstacle to taking an old map on a new road. It sounds a little unbelievable, but the reason is very simple. The old map makes people walk the old way. Experienced people often don't know how to adjust. Producers with printed book experience often rely on book quality control and processing calculations, do not understand commodity packaging, color requirements for each batch are very strict, some can not be glazed, plus packaging printing with thick cardboard The six colors plus the light and the extended paper tray are cured by UV, otherwise the surface of the short paper tray UV ink will be less than the gloss. Plus six colors are also four colors and two special colors, so how to build a good special color ink is a key factor in the success or failure of these successes. If these new people learn to transform and change, because he can Then take the new map and the old map to find out the direction that may have shortcuts. The directionality is at least better than the one without the old one. Otherwise, the old one is held, and only the old ones will follow. Still getting it, but it is a waste of more time and physical strength, there is no economic benefit! Perseverance and persistence in the face of innovation and change, there will be quite a lot of contradictions, we must first return to zero and then lay the foundation, re-architect the packaging market, production mode and processing to cost control can be successful. Today, it is simple to say that Samsung Electronics has been using the sea tactics in the mobile phone market and wants to maintain the mobile phone leader, but the iPhone is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It not only meets the needs of consumers, but also turns the e-wallet into a payment tool, attracting one vote. The heart of the loyal Apple fans, rushing to the night to queue up to buy.
Fourth, the development of packaging technology
a. Good packaging and preservation function
How the packaging industry will develop is also a topic of great concern. First, the most basic use of packaging is to protect the convenience of storage, handling and use of materials, as well as to save time, save time, and save materials to environmental protection requirements. In the past, milk was packed in glass thick bottles. In fact, it was very heavy in storage and handling. After the milk was shipped to users, it was still necessary to transport the empty bottles back. It was almost repeated work. Dainippon Printing invented the fresh house and the Swedish Tetra Pak, which drastically reduced the weight of the packaging materials, and did not need to recycle the empty boxes, plus the long-term preservation of "long-lasting milk", and the function of colorful and promotional, used today The fresh milk of the glass bottle is still cost-effective only in the fixed production area of three or forty kilometers. It is far from being effective because of the high transportation cost and the cost of recycling empty bottles. In addition, beer has a bottle, a method of recycling empty bottles many times, paper packaging can not contain the contents of fermented gas products, and aluminum can long-term storage of "cooked" beer as the main packaging, because it is easy to carry, do not recycle empty cans Filling, empty cans are recycled from scrap aluminum, which allows many liquid beverages to be exported to the world through aluminum cans. Taiwan Tobacco and Alcohol Company has changed the famous "rice wine" to one liter of fresh house packaging in the carton for one year, but the thin layer of polymer coating inside the box still can't resist the invasion of oxygen molecules, although it can isolate water molecules. However, there is no oxygen penetration, and it will deteriorate after one year. A layer of aluminum foil is added between the petrochemical polymeric foil membranes to provide effective oxygen barrier and UV protection. Recently, nano-iron molecules have been dispersed in polymeric films. Instead of preventing oxygen from invading, they are "oxygen-consuming", so that iron molecules can absorb oxygen molecules into iron oxides, delaying the oxidative deterioration of the contents.
b. efficient packaging
In order to make the packaging more efficient, sometimes it is not unilateral to consider the packaging design. Instead, it must be paid at the bottom of the product, and even the product design should be considered together. If a machine, home appliance or 3C product can be designed to consider the packaging volume and The structure itself is strong, and the function of crash resistance is very important. There is an electronics company that wants to think about reducing the external volume in the product packaging, so that the original packaging is reduced to only 40% of the volume, which is a considerable cost, only 40% of the storage space, meaning the same warehouse than the upper The first generation of products can put 4.5 times more goods, which is a good cost-reducing benefit for manufacturers, large-caps, medium-sized and small-cap retailers. More importantly, the cost of logistics mobile space, a truck can send 2.5 times more goods, etc., the benefits are self-evident. How to reduce materials and space, but also involves the major issues of environmental protection, energy conservation and carbon reduction.
c. Increased value of packaging
Packaging should improve the value of the goods. If you remove the "packaging", first talk about perfume, cosmetics, alcohol, and use glass bottles to load a variety of liquids, in addition to color, fragrance, fluidity can be identified But cheap perfumes of chemical fragrances, and the use of one ton of fragrant petals to extract one or two hundred CC of essential oils, and a bottle of tens of dollars of industrial alcohol brewing wine or decades of whiskey, brandy, Maotai Compared with the experts in the expert, most people are difficult to identify. Therefore, the value of noble goods, in addition to the essence in the market must also rely on packaging and celebrity endorsements to maintain its noble sense of value, otherwise with a few drops of liquid to sell a hundred dollars, are to use the special texture of packaging to maintain Market charm. In China, fake wine can be said to be innumerable, so the world is exquisitely packaged and the anti-counterfeiting mechanism is unmistakable. Sichuan Wuliangye bottle caps are printed with grating plates and three-dimensional and variants, plus a patented anti-secondary packaging cap. It is a kind of anti-counterfeiting that costs a lot of money. Even Wuliangye has its own grating printing factory and die-cutting factory. In the end, Wuliangye Brewery has set up a production line with a large number of used gratings. In addition to its own use, it has become an important marketing line for grating plates. the company.
d. Packaging is also a silent merchandiser
A buyer goes to a department store, from at least tens of dozens of similar products. If there is no custom branded goods, the buyer will use his eyes to search for the favorite packaging. It is important to attract buyers’ eyes in many commodities. Note, then whether you will reach out and pick it up will be the key to winning and losing. When you pick it up, you will have a 70% turnover rate. The rest is the content description and ingredients on the package. If you use it together, it will be put into the basket. Therefore, the design on the packaging can attract the attention of the packaging designer. It is important to see identity, and there is no business opportunity if you can’t see it. The same kind of goods often have multiple brands, which is a kind of commercial law in response to the needs of buyers of different levels and ages. An advertising packaging design company often has a packaging design evaluation laboratory for potential customers, looking for people who might buy a background, and scoring and commenting on different packaging designs as a basis for improvement and packaging design decisions. It can be seen that packaging design is important in merchandising. Six or seventy years ago, there were a lot of ointment medicines in Hong Kong. For example, Wanjin Oil and Baoji Pills were all beautifully packaged, and there were also old-fashioned beauty prints with hot stamping and embossing. In the 1950s, the famous two-day printing company in Hong Kong was a pharmaceutical factory specializing in the production of “hard-nosed cream”. It opened a printing factory to print exquisite and anti-counterfeit ointment packaging, and then developed a better anti-counterfeit packaging to become a famous printing. The investment in this kind of printing and packaging factory with great commercial value is very worthwhile.
e. Packaging should also pay attention to environmental recycling issues
Today, because of global warming, serious air and water pollution, the choice of packaging materials, the consumption of packaging materials and the recycling of packaging materials have become important considerations in packaging design and use, so some boxes or packaging can also be made into stores. Display stand, dual-use, or more use as a box for home storage. Some packaging enamel film or other surface coating, so that can not be recycled or difficult to recycle processing, must be considered to be less useful, like the modern cold foil technology using hot foil is not a good decoration technology, so a hot foil many times Shuttle and hot stamping applications are more environmentally friendly. There is a relatively cheap casting pattern, using UV coating to make the fine lines of the interference wave on the UV coating, and then curing with UV light is also a kind of foil-saving master mold that can be used for five or sixty times at a time. There are many environmental protection economy, and it can be partially coated and partially chilled, and the effect is also very good. The recycling of packaging waste has become a profitable systematization, which is conducive to the recycling of packaging materials. It is an environmentally friendly thing, and the printing factory attaches great importance to waste sorting. It is also necessary to plan and execute 100% waste recycling.
f. Plastic film printing goes to the solventless road
Refined gravure flexible packaging based on Japan and Taiwan has a long history, but a large amount of petroleum solvent must be recycled after drying and solidifying with ink, but some leak in the air, so in order to reduce food safety and air pollution, in Europe A large number of plastics are printed with flexographic ink, which is slightly better than solvent ink printing, but can reduce the impact of the intaglio ink on the environment. In mainland China, in the 12th Five-Year Plan, more than 80% of the intaglios have been printed with water-based solvent inks. Even the entire Chinese primary and secondary school textbooks have been printed with 1.1 billion copies of environmentally-friendly flexo-printed inks. Therefore, VOCs are widely used in Taiwan and Japan. The printing method of aromatic organic solvents must be changed to water-based ink gravure or flexo printing under the environmental protection requirements.
Use HP Indigo's electronic ink or inkjet technology to print on film trademarks and plastic stickers, resulting in a large amount of pollution from gravure-plated cylinder plating and chemical corrosion. The most important thing is to produce in 30- or 50-meter quantities. At least three kilometers, five kilometers plus printing, and school bus to produce one hundred waste products, not only environmental protection effects, but also personalized production, like Coca-Cola outsourcing shrink film, can be personalized to each bottle has activities and Personalized name packaging, which is also a possibility of digital printing in packaging and trademark development.
g. Corrugated wire processing or digital cutting
In the early days, corrugated paper was only cut by hand with a rubber version, printed with purple aniline Aniline ink. After the appearance of DuPont's photographic plate and the replacement of the coarse-grained Aniline ink supply roller with the Anilox Roller micro-cylinder ink supply roller, the flexo printing The quality of the work is not only 20 or 30 years ago, only the 60, 80 line level of rough work, immediately reached the 150, 175 line degree and gravure, lithograph to court. The medium-format flexo printing system consists of a 500~900mm wide flexo press. Its speed cannot keep up with the lithographic rotary machine of more than three or four hundred meters per minute, but it can reach at least 180 meters, but it emphasizes stable production speed and Quality, using water-based inks, solvent-free alcohols (or a small amount of alcohol volatilization) printing, it is important that some machines, such as the Gallus CS560 machine, can be printed with a heavy ink, six-color or multi-color flexo, or cold or hot. Cold ironing, glazing, screen printing anti-counterfeiting to connection die-cutting, not only superior quality, but also can be produced by two people, it can play its role in long-distance rotation, can print to 350g/m2 cardboard and thin corrugated paper, can also be printed Paper to film, very production change and flexibility. In the long-term high-quality mass production, one can achieve a lot of manpower, plus a set of ten minutes, six or seven units are very light, flexo printing is smaller as 330mm wide, also 1.8 meters or more Wide-width, in the future, after the plate-making method of directly engraving on the elastic plastic using the laser, the large-size roller printing plate, with the different width and width setting of the printed word shoulder shape, and the reduced pressure reduction production of the small printing dot layout, Will make flexo printing in the lithography technology will have a brighter future under the CTP, but the flexo plate making costs are high, and the Anilox Roller is not expensive, so that the flexo printing is conducive to mass production and not small prints. produce.
Packaging small printing box production, always inseparable from digital inkjet and digital non-cutting technology, now the large HP BF10000 type, with 3.2 × 1.6 meters huge spraying platform, each printing speed is only 55 seconds, one hour Can print 60 amazing speed UV printing, other such as Inca, OnSet, Agfa, Mimaki, Roland, Mutoh, etc. also have large size, medium size UV or LED UV platform inkjet machine, etc. No problem, the rear cutting process, using ESKO's 3.2-meter digital cutting machine in Jianhao printing, other platform cutting machines such as Zund, Mimaki, etc., can be applied to a small amount of cutting work. ESKO's cutting machines include Feida paper feeding, high-speed medium-size cutting table and automatic paper-receiving. Some workpieces are produced per minute, 60 sheets per hour or more, and four or five hundred sheets without cutting die are the largest. Even one can be competent.
h. In-mold IMD and screen printing and printing decoration of packaging materials
Plastic drums, bottle materials, labeling or shrink film marking process is very common. In addition to the automatic loading and labeling of high-speed packaging systems, the recycled materials are recycled due to labeling paper and plastic shrink film of different materials. Materials must be removed manually. If plastic bottles, boxes, and barrels are used in similar materials, the in-mold labels are printed on flexo and letterpress machines, placed in the open mold of the plastic injection molding machine, placed in the correct position, and when the mold is closed, the hot-melt plastic is applied. At the time of the flow cloth forming, the plastic label printed on the mold is attached to the surface of the bottle, the can and the barrel to become the labeling effect of the mold decoration. If it is recycled after use, the IMD (In Mode Decoration) The material can be melted and regenerated without removing the tear. Because IMD can print more delicate print patterns, it helps the product to add value.
Use screen printing, solvent printing ink, or use inkjet means to use high-low printing on flat and curved surfaces, or screen printing on a rotating cylinder, that is, the blade does not move the plate to be printed. The barrel and the can body are rotated synchronously to form a printed pattern, which is relatively coarse printing. Now inkjet can also be sprayed in the bottle and barrel, to the personalized inkjet printing, Mimaki can also be used to spray the adhesive for the cold printing function, which greatly increases the spray effect.
i. Lithography is still the main force of packaging printing in the future
Everyone is looking for a new way to package printing, you can find a new niche market, but lithographic printing, especially six colors + L, that is, four colors plus two special colors, or reprint with two colors The four colors are on the white ink. On the contrary, the transparent film first prints the color ink and then prints the double white ink. In addition, the light is added, and there are four colors plus a Pantone special color, and the ink can be rejected on the sixth seat, and the UV coating is used. There are glazing and fogging or grain effects. The changes and design applications of this road can not be very special, but the capacity of 12,000 and 15,000 sheets per hour is also very efficient. The upper plate version of the CTP plate is the fastest, cheaper and highest quality print of any layout. If the lithography machine is expanded to 145, 162, 185, or even 205 1.45 meters to 2.05 meters, the printing price is quite high, in Dalipur, next to Dresden, Germany. A printing company with five 185 four-time chrysanthemum lithography machines and one R-205 giant five-color stencil printing machine, which is produced from large-scale T-pad posters and large-sized packaging stencils, with production characteristics. Because in the packaging world, printing and processing equipment is one inch long, and this large printing press can change three sets of printing plates per hour in the short printing work, because digital control tools and CIP3/4 information management applications, plus lines The measurement control of the color of the control film on the upper or the control station has its flexible and flexible side. Compared with the pure mechanical manual plate making and regulating the ink key twenty-five years ago, it is necessary to pull the plate calibration. Four hours is completely different. In addition to the large-scale lithographic printing machine, the printing area is generally changed from 1.0 to 0.7 in the golden ratio of 0.7 to 0.8. The cases are everywhere. For labels and die-printing, If more than one print is discharged, the productivity will be 33% higher, even if it is 15 % is also good and will be more competitive. With Manroland 700's 1050×720mm, you can order 1050×780mm, which is close to 1.0:0.76, and there is about 10% printing power. In addition to some machines in addition to glazing, there are also choices for double glazing, which can be dried after water glazing with general four-color ink, and then UV glazing, so that UV color printing process saves power and ink consumption. The printing machine does not use the ink roller and blanket for UV ink, which is also a good idea. Water-based glazing is also a very advantageous processing project for packaging printing. At present, there is not much profit added to the added value, but the workflow is smoothed and the printing is not back-printed, dirty, and wear-resistant. It is very beneficial to do immediate processing.
In addition, a new generation of LED UV, LE low energy UV, H-UV, etc., most of them only use 10~25% of electricity to save energy and reduce carbon effect, and do not produce O3 ozone, but the ink price is more expensive, the ink faces many It is important to note that special printed media is not fully compatible. Many people misunderstand that LED UV, LE UV and H-UV are the best of the lamps, but it is more important to match the high sensitivity of the appropriate ink. In fact, the Starter photosensitive initiator in the ink is the key to reducing the amount of light. In the future, the development of such high-sensitivity UV inks will also be lithographic, which will achieve a more reasonable cost-benefit ratio. The status of the lithograph is pushed by other printing methods and digital printing, but it will never be eliminated before the 21st century. In particular, there are certain prints in the packaging and printing, and a certain number of printed copies are required. The "composite printing method" that becomes a local variable printing pattern is also a way for the lithographic printing machine to survive.
Fifth, packaging and printing persist, but the way is in evolution
Compared with media printing, there are computers, networks and screens. The cost, spread and speed of physical media are often compared. The packaging and printing of packaging materials must be used, otherwise as in the era of barter in ancient times, some agricultural products, goods wrapped in leaves, can be dressed in clay pots! Today's packaging not only involves protection and prevention of damage, but also a mark of great marketing and brand loyalty. If there is less packaging, it will return to the trading form of the original society.
But whether the packaging must remain unchanged, I am afraid it is also negative. As there is no anti-counterfeiting technology before, UV curing can be used to mold, cold and some new technologies. For example, Alishan tea has used ink to put a DNA that can be detected. Goods, others do not have such DNA in it is a fake. If one day uses radiation to sterilize, the packaging material should be kept to a minimum for the penetration and deterioration of protons, so that the product can be more durable, and the packaging retains its efficacy. The popularity of the world-wide lid packaging like the wet box is to use the original wet-box type box forming machine. In this kind of change, it is a hard cover machine that uses fine art paper, leather cloth, and paper to print. Glossy, wet cover, back cover and backboard packaging, now 80% of hardcover cover machines are not for hardcover, but for cosmetics, tobacco and alcohol packaging, making more complex beauty than hardcover cover The shape of the hard shell, the factory that makes the hard-shell hardcover cover machine is in abundance, and the packaging industry has a new style of beauty hard shell packaging, which is incredible, very beautiful red velvet hard shell box, there are many Beautiful decoration, not to use as a jewelry box, but to smoke the most discarded "smoke box", it is really the most attractive appearance of gifts! Therefore, after the luxury of the mainland, this type of over-packaging has also been left out, and it is also a good thing for environmental protection.
