The comprehensive comparison between imported and domestic self-adhesive coated paper can be analyzed from multiple dimensions, including paper quality, performance characteristics, price and application fields. Here's a detailed comparison of the two:
First, paper quality and performance characteristics
1. Paper quality
Imported self-adhesive coated paper: usually has high paper quality and stability. Its raw materials and production processes may be more advanced, making the paper perform better in terms of smoothness, gloss, crisp and hardness. For example, the surface coating of some imported coated paper is uniform, and the pigment particles are closely arranged, which reduces the phenomenon of dot expansion in the printing process, thus improving the fineness and clarity of the print.
Domestic self-adhesive coated paper: In recent years, with the continuous progress of domestic papermaking technology, the quality of domestic coated paper has also been significantly improved. Although there is still a certain gap compared with some high-end imported products, it has been able to meet most printing needs. Domestic coated paper may be slightly worse than imported products in terms of smoothness and gloss, but it has obvious advantages in price.
2. Performance characteristics
Imported self-adhesive coated paper: often has better printability, dimensional stability and surface strength. These characteristics make the imported coated paper widely used in the field of high-grade printed matter, such as fine albums, high-grade packaging and so on. In addition, imported coated paper may also have better anti-counterfeiting performance, which is achieved by adding special materials and processes.
Domestic self-adhesive coated paper: In terms of performance characteristics, domestic coated paper also performs well. Its surface is smooth and smooth, suitable for printing various patterns and texts. At the same time, domestic coated paper also has better ink resistance and dot reproducibility, which can meet the needs of general printed matter. However, in specific high-demand application scenarios, its performance may have a certain gap with imported products.
Second, price
Imported self-adhesive coated paper: Due to the impact of raw materials, production process and transportation costs and other factors, the price of imported coated paper is usually higher. This makes imported products somewhat competitive in the high-end market, but may face price pressure in the middle and low-end market.
Domestic self-adhesive coated paper: The price of domestic coated paper is relatively low, which is one of its biggest competitive advantages. In the field of high cost control requirements, such as large-scale print production, daily office supplies, domestic coated paper has a wide range of application prospects.
Third, application fields
Imported self-adhesive coated paper: mainly used in areas with high printing quality requirements, such as high-grade albums, exquisite packaging, artwork reproduction and so on. These areas have strict requirements for the smoothness, gloss, and color reduction of paper, and imported coated paper can meet these needs well.
Domestic self-adhesive coated paper: it is widely used in all kinds of daily printing and packaging fields, such as supermarket labels, inventory management labels, clothing tags, industrial production line labels, etc. The requirements for paper in these areas are relatively loose and more cost-effective and practical, so domestic coated paper has become the preferred material.
In summary, there are some differences between imported and domestic self-adhesive coated paper in paper quality, performance characteristics, price and application fields. The choice of products should be based on the specific needs and budget of the comprehensive consideration. For high-end prints and areas with high quality requirements, imported coated paper may be a better choice; For daily printing and cost control requirements of higher fields, domestic coated paper is more cost-effective advantages.
