What are the printing techniques suitable for tag coated paper?

There are a variety of printing technologies suitable for tag coated paper, which can make full use of the characteristics of coated paper to achieve high-quality printing results. Here are some of the main printing techniques:

1. Offset Printing

Features: Offset printing is one of the commonly used technologies in tag printing. It uses a rubber blanket to transfer ink to paper and is suitable for high-volume printing tasks. Offset printing can precisely control the amount of ink and color, to ensure that the print color is bright, clear pattern.

Application scenario: The surface of the tag coated paper is smooth, good ink absorption, very suitable for offset printing process. Most paper can be printed by the offset printing process, especially for tags that require high-quality printing results.

2. Screen Printing

Features: Screen printing is a printing technology that transfers ink through the mesh to the paper through the screen plate. It is suitable for printing rich colors, complex patterns and requires a higher thickness of the ink layer. Screen printing ink drying fast, strong adhesion, suitable for printing on a variety of materials.

Application scenario: For some special paper, such as black cardstock, silver cardstock, gold cardstock, etc., screen printing may be more suitable, because these papers often require higher printing effect and texture. Screen printing can meet these needs, while achieving personalized printing results.

3. Hot Stamping

Features: Hot stamping/silver stamping is a special printing process that transfers metal foils (such as aluminum foil, copper foil, etc.) to the surface of the paper by hot pressing transfer, forming a unique metallic luster effect. This process can greatly enhance the sense of grade and visual effect of the tag.

Application scenario: The surface of the tag coated paper is smooth and flat, which is very suitable for gold/silver stamping. Through the gold/silver stamping process, exquisite patterns, text or logo can be printed on the tag to make it more eye-catching.

4. Ultraviolet Printing

Features: UV printing is a printing process that dries and solidifies ink through ultraviolet irradiation. It can form a bright protective layer on the surface of the printed matter to enhance the wear resistance and water resistance of the printed matter. At the same time, the color brightness and saturation of UV printing are also very high.

Application scenario: After the tag coated paper is processed by UV printing, not only the surface is more smooth and bright, but also the printed pattern and text can be better protected from wear. Therefore, UV printing has been widely used in the production of tags.

5. Embossing/Debossing

Features: Embossing is a technology that uses embossing die to process the surface of paper. Through the embossing process, various patterns, patterns or text can be formed on the paper to enhance the three-dimensional sense and texture of the print.

Application scenario: After the tag coated paper is embossed and embossed, its surface will form a unique texture and pattern, making the tag more layered and visual impact. This process is particularly common in the production of high-end clothing, gifts and other products.

6. Die-Cutting

Features: Die cutting is the design of the graphics made into die cutting knife cutting technology. Through die cutting processing, various shapes and sizes of tags can be made to meet different design needs.

Application scenario: After die cutting, tag coated paper can be produced with different shapes and accurate sizes. This process not only realizes the personalized design, but also improves the aesthetics and practicability of the tag.

To sum up, there are a variety of printing techniques suitable for tag coated paper, including offset printing, screen printing, gold/silver stamping, UV printing, embossing and die-cutting. These technologies have their own characteristics and application scenarios, and can be selected according to actual needs.
