What are the steps in the printing process of hanging tag copperplate paper?

The printing process of hanging tag copperplate paper mainly includes the following steps:

1、 Design layout

Arrange the designed hang tag pattern and text according to printing requirements, ensuring that the position, size, color, etc. of the pattern and text meet the design requirements. This stage is the foundation of printing technology and directly affects the visual effect of the final product.

2、 Plate making

Copy the designed typesetting draft into a printed version using plate making equipment. The plate making process requires high-precision equipment and professional skills to ensure the accuracy and clarity of the printing plate. The quality of the printing plate directly affects the quality of the printed material.

3、 Machine printing

Install the printing plate onto the printing machine for formal printing operations. During the printing process, it is necessary to control parameters such as ink dosage, printing pressure, and printing speed to ensure that the color and clarity of the printed product meet the design requirements. At the same time, real-time quality monitoring of printed materials is necessary to promptly identify and address any issues that arise during the printing process.

4、 Special processing techniques

According to design requirements, special processing techniques such as embossing and stamping may be required for printed materials UV、 Screen printing, gluing, embossing, hot stamping, silver stamping, etc. These special processes can increase the three-dimensional and visual effects of printed materials, enhance the grade and quality of products.

Convex printing: Using a set of concave and convex horizontal plates corresponding to the yin and yang of graphics and text, placing the substrate between them, and applying great pressure to press out the relief like concave and convex graphics and text, creating a vivid and beautiful three-dimensional effect.

Imprinting: Printing text or patterns on paper is called embossing, which often refers to processes such as hot stamping or silver stamping.

UV： Localized UV polishing is the selective polishing of printed graphics and text using UV varnish with high brightness, transparency, and wear resistance.

Screen printing: Printing ink onto a substrate using screen printing.

Adhesive coating: Applying a layer of plastic film on the surface of printed materials to protect them and enhance visual effects.

Embossing: Various textures and patterns can be formed on the surface of printed materials through embossing technology, improving the texture and visual effect of the product.

Hot stamping/silver stamping: Heating a metal printing plate, applying foil, and pressing gold or silver patterns onto the printed material.

5、 Surface treatment

After printing is completed, it may be necessary to perform surface treatment on the printed material, such as film coating, varnish, etc. These treatments can enhance the wear resistance, waterproofing, and glossiness of printed materials, improving the overall quality of the product.

Film coating: Covering the surface of printed materials with a layer of plastic film can protect them from wear and contamination.

Polishing oil: Applying a layer of transparent varnish on the surface of printed materials can enhance their glossiness and wear resistance.

6、 Die cutting and finished product manufacturing

Finally, according to the design requirements, die-cutting and finished product production are carried out on the printed materials. Die cutting is the process of cutting printed materials according to the designed shape to obtain the desired hang tag shape. The production of finished products includes organizing and packaging the cut hang tags for delivery to customers.

In summary, the printing process of hanging tag copperplate paper is a complex and delicate process, involving multiple links and steps. Each stage requires strict control over quality and technical parameters to ensure that the final product's quality and performance meet the design requirements.
