Which printing methods are color label paper suitable for?

Because of its excellent printability and wide range of applications, color copper label paper is suitable for a variety of printing methods. Here are some common printing methods:

1. Relief printing

Features: Letterpress printing using raised plate printing, printing pattern raised, color layers, rich texture.

Applicability: Both ordinary coated paper labels and high-gloss coated paper labels are suitable for letterpress printing. Especially for high-gloss coated paper labels, letterpress printing can make it have an excellent luster.

2. Gravure printing

Features: intaglio printing plate on the graphic part is lower than the blank part, the ink is filled in the pit, the excess ink is scraped away by the ink scraper, leaving the ink in the pit, and then transferred to the substrate. Intaglio printing has the characteristics of thick ink layer, bright color and high saturation.

Applicability: Although intaglio printing may not be as widely used as letterpress printing on colored copperplate label paper, intaglio printing is also a good choice for certain specific needs, such as when particularly full colors and clear patterns are needed.

3. Screen printing

Features: Screen printing is a kind of hole printing method, through the extrusion of the scraper, the ink is transferred to the substrate through the mesh of the graphic part, forming the same graphic as the original. Screen printing has the characteristics of thick ink layer, strong three-dimensional sense and wide range of substrates.

Applicability: Colored copperplate label paper is also suitable for screen printing, especially in the case of mass printing and high requirements for color and texture.

4. Digital printing

Features: Digital printing is a plateless printing method, which transfers digital files directly to the printing press through the computer for printing. Digital printing has the characteristics of strong flexibility, high degree of personalization and low cost of short printing.

Applicability: Digital printing is a very good choice for color copperplate label paper that requires personalized, small-batch printing, such as self-adhesive paper labels. It can be processed later in the printing process to meet diverse needs.

Matters needing attention

When selecting the printing method, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the specific printing needs and label materials. Different printing methods have differences in color reproduction, printing speed, cost and so on.

At the same time, in the printing process, it is also necessary to pay attention to layout design, color allocation, ink selection and other issues to ensure that the final printing effect meets the requirements.

In summary, color copper plate label paper is suitable for letterpress printing, gravure printing, screen printing and digital printing and other printing methods. The choice needs to be made according to the specific situation of the trade-offs and decisions.
