Self-adhesive coated paper needs to pay attention to the following aspects during use to ensure its best performance and extend its service life:
1. Storage environment
Dry and moisture-proof: self-adhesive coated paper should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated environment to avoid moisture. The high humidity environment will cause the paper to curl, deformation, and even affect the stickiness of the self-adhesive.
Suitable temperature: The temperature of the storage environment should be controlled within the appropriate range to avoid the impact of extreme high or low temperature on the paper and self-adhesive.
Avoid direct sunlight: long-term exposure to sunlight will cause the paper to fade and age, affecting the printing effect and viscosity of the self-adhesive.
2. Prepare before use
Check the quality: before use, check whether the self-adhesive coated paper is damaged, curled, deformed and other problems to ensure that the paper is smooth and without defects.
Adapt to the environment: For the newly opened self-adhesive coated paper, it is recommended to place it in the use environment for a period of time before use, so that it can adapt to the environmental temperature and humidity and reduce the deformation problem caused by environmental differences.
3. Printing process
Control the amount of ink: the surface coating of self-adhesive coated paper has limited adsorption capacity for ink, and the amount of ink should be controlled when printing to avoid excessive drying and dirty problems.
Adjust the process: According to the characteristics of the paper to adjust the printing process parameters, such as printing pressure, speed, drying temperature, etc., to ensure the printing quality.
Anti-stick measures: Because the ink absorption of coated paper is weak and the back is smooth, it is easy to produce sticky and dirty problems when printing large ink volume layout or multi-color overprinting, anti-stick measures should be taken, such as using anti-stick agent or adjusting ink formula.
4. Fit and paste
Clean the surface: ensure that the surface to be pasted is clean and free of dust, grease and other impurities to improve the stickiness of the self-adhesive.
Uniform pressure: When pasting, uniform pressure should be applied to ensure that the self-adhesive is in full contact with the pasted surface to avoid bubbles or improper pasting.
Temperature control: For self-adhesive coated paper that needs to be pasted at a specific temperature (such as some special purpose labels), the pasting temperature should be strictly controlled to ensure stickiness.
5. Use and maintenance
Avoid scratching: Self-adhesive coated paper should avoid scratching sharp objects during use, so as not to damage the printing pattern and surface coating.
Regular inspection: For labels used for a long time, they should be regularly checked and replaced in time if they fall off or are damaged.
Environmental protection treatment: Discarded self-adhesive coated paper should be treated in accordance with environmental protection requirements to avoid environmental pollution caused by random disposal.
In summary, the self-adhesive coated paper needs to pay attention to the storage environment, pre-use preparation, printing process, laminating and pasting, and use and maintenance during use to ensure its best performance and extend its service life.
