The unique bronzing process of cigarette label printing
In China, there are more than 350 million smokers, and China Tobacco has maintained seven "world first", for cigarettes, I believe that many people can identify the brand of cigarettes at a glance through the cigarette label, because of the embodiment of the cigarette label, people are familiar with the brand of cigarettes. The reason why the cigarette label is perfectly presented in our sight is due to the bronzing process in printing, which is indispensable. Let's take a look at the bronzing process of cigarette label printing. Cigarette label hot stamping mainly uses anodized aluminum hot stamping foil, which uses heating and pressure to transfer the pattern or text to the surface of the hot stamping material. To complete this process, a hot stamping machine, a template engraved with special text or pattern, the temperature required to heat the row, and the transfer needs to pay attention to the pressure required and maintain the corresponding time. It should be noted that when hot stamping different materials, the appropriate type of anodized aluminum should be selected, and the appropriate temperature, pressure and hot stamping time should be selected to achieve the ideal hot stamping effect. The characteristics of hot stamping: clear and beautiful patterns, bright and dazzling colors, wear-resistant and weather-resistant. On the printed cigarette label, the application of the bronzing process accounts for more than 8596, and in the graphic design, the hot stamping can play the role of the finishing touch and highlighting the design theme, especially suitable for trademarks and registered names, and the effect is remarkable. Application of the product: 1. Hot stamping, laser gold hot stamping. It can be used for most products, including gold cards, silver cards, laser cards and hot stamping on glass cards, and its application is more common and less difficult to produce. 2. Positioning holographic bronzing. Holographic laser anodized aluminum is a special process application in design, with corresponding anti-counterfeiting patterns, which can greatly improve the anti-counterfeiting ability of the product, and at the same time improve the grade of the product. This anodized aluminum is generally produced domestically, and the price is cheaper than foreign imports, but the hot stamping performance is slightly worse. The full holographic laser anodized aluminum has a great relationship with the control of hot stamping temperature, hot stamping pressure and vehicle speed, and even hot stamping models. 3. The special application of anodized aluminum in the process. Ironing before printing is a new idea in the cigarette label design and printing industry. The application of the process has high requirements for anodized aluminum, in addition to achieving the requirements of accurate hot stamping position, smooth and bright surface, pressure balance, uniformity, no foaming, no paste, etc., it is also specifically required that the edge of the hot stamping pattern can not have obvious indentation, and the hot stamping anodized aluminum should have good adhesion on the hot stamping surface, as well as no obvious scratches and scratches. As we all know, the bronzing process is actually a process in which the paper is heated and pressurized. For white cards and glass cards, special attention should be paid to the protection of semi-finished products, and various unfavorable factors of paper deformation should be minimized in the production process, so as to greatly help the smooth progress of the hot stamping process and the improvement of product qualification rate. In the application of hot stamping process, it is believed that with the continuous progress of science and technology, the technical level of the printing industry will become more and more perfect.
