What are the advantages and disadvantages of self-adhesive coated paper?

As a commonly used label material, self-adhesive coated paper has its unique advantages and disadvantages. Here is a detailed analysis of its advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages

1. High quality printing results:

The surface of self-adhesive coated paper is smooth and flat, and it can print very detailed and clear patterns and text, with good visual effect and reducibility, which is suitable for high-quality printing needs.

2. Strong plasticity:

Self-adhesive coated paper can be customized according to customer requirements in the printing process, so that the product is different and meet the diversified market needs.

3. High viscosity:

The surface is covered with a coating, which can maintain the viscosity for a long time, and can be pasted on the surface of various materials, such as glass, metal, plastic, etc., to provide stable adhesion effect.

4. High security:

Some special materials and processes can be added, such as fluorescent pigments, infrared materials, etc., to improve the anti-counterfeiting of the product, which is suitable for fields requiring anti-counterfeiting functions.

5. High aesthetics:

Exquisite printing, bright colors, can attract the attention of consumers, enhance the market competitiveness of products.

6. Strong applicability:

It is suitable for goods of various shapes and sizes, and can provide good fit and protection to ensure that goods are not lost during transportation and sales.

7. Low cost:

Compared with other high-end label materials, the cost of self-adhesive coated paper is lower, which helps to reduce production costs and improve enterprise efficiency.

8. Environmental Protection:

The main ingredients are paper and glue, which can be recycled and have less impact on the environment.

9. Durability:

It has good durability, can withstand a certain amount of tension and pressure, is not easy to be torn or broken, and maintains the durability of label information.

10. Water and oil resistance:

The coated self-adhesive coated paper can have better water resistance and oil resistance to meet the needs of specific environments.

Disadvantages

1. Poor weather resistance:

The weather resistance of self-adhesive coated paper is relatively poor, and it is susceptible to environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, leading to problems such as fading and falling off.

2. Lack of scratch resistance:

The surface is soft, the scratch resistance is poor, and it is easy to be scratched or worn.

3. Stickiness may be insufficient:

In some extreme environments (such as high temperature and humidity), the stickiness of the self-adhesive coated paper may weaken, resulting in the label falling off.

4. Not suitable for outdoor use:

Long-term exposure to sunlight and air can cause problems such as fading and aging, so it is not suitable for outdoor use.

5. Not waterproof, not oil (native) :

Coated paper self-adhesive label paper that has not been coated is prone to moisture and pollution when it encounters water or oil, affecting the clarity and durability of the label.

6. Easy to tear:

In some extreme cases (such as when subjected to strong tearing or scraping by sharp objects), self-adhesive coated paper may tear easily.

7. The paper thickness is larger:

The thickness of coated paper is large, generally 200-350 microns, which is bulky and inconvenient to carry in some applications, and may also affect the printing effect.

8. Printing effects may be limited:

Due to the surface characteristics of coated paper, some special printing needs (such as the need for a high degree of anti-counterfeiting, scratch resistance, etc.), its printing adaptability may be limited.

In summary, self-adhesive coated paper has significant advantages in printing effect, adhesion, cost, environmental protection, etc., but it also has disadvantages such as poor weather resistance, insufficient scratch resistance, and insufficient stickiness. When selecting the device, you need to make comprehensive consideration based on specific requirements and scenarios.
