What are the printing methods for BOPP synthetic label paper?

The printing methods of BOPP synthetic label paper mainly include the following:

1、 Thermal printing

Principle: A thermal printer heats the print head to cause a chemical reaction on the thermal sensitive coating on BOPP synthetic label paper, resulting in the display of images and text.

advantage:

Fast printing speed, suitable for situations where labels need to be printed quickly.

No need to use ink or ribbon, reducing printing and maintenance costs.

The printing quality is clear and can meet most label printing needs.

matters needing attention:

We need to choose a dedicated thermal printer and thermal BOPP synthetic label paper.

Thermal sensitive coatings are sensitive to environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, so printing and storage need to be carried out under suitable conditions.

2、 Inkjet printing

Principle: Inkjet printers spray ink onto BOPP synthetic label paper through nozzles, forming images and text.

advantage:

High printing quality, capable of presenting delicate images and rich colors.

Suitable for printing color labels and complex patterns.

matters needing attention:

Ink needs to be selected as a specialized ink suitable for BOPP synthetic label paper.

Inkjet printing is relatively slow and may not be suitable for situations where a large number of labels need to be printed quickly.

3、 Laser printing

Principle: Laser printers use laser beams to form electrostatic latent images on BOPP synthetic label paper, which are then adsorbed and transferred by toner to form images and text.

advantage:

High printing quality, capable of presenting clear text and images.

Suitable for printing high-quality, large-scale labels.

matters needing attention:

We need to choose BOPP synthetic label paper suitable for laser printers.

Laser printers are relatively expensive and require regular replacement of toner and cleaning of equipment.

4、 Printing

Methods: including gravure printing, flexographic printing, offset printing, and other methods.

advantage:

Suitable for the production of large quantities of labels, it can reduce the cost of individual labels.

High printing quality, capable of meeting various complex pattern and text requirements.

matters needing attention:

We need professional printing equipment and operators.

During the printing process, it is necessary to strictly control the quality of raw materials such as ink and plate materials.

5、 Other printing methods

Heat transfer printing: By heating, the ink on the carbon ribbon is transferred onto BOPP synthetic label paper to form images and text. Suitable for situations where high-quality images and text need to be printed, but the cost is relatively high.

Digital Printing: Utilizing digital printing technology to directly print images and text onto BOPP synthetic label paper. It has the advantages of fast printing speed and high flexibility, but may be limited by factors such as printing equipment and ink.

In summary, there are various printing methods for BOPP synthetic label paper, and the choice of method mainly depends on factors such as printing requirements, printing volume, cost budget, and printing quality. In practical applications, the appropriate printing method can be selected according to the specific situation.
