Does punching affect the performance of PET matte silver thermal labels?

Drilling may indeed have a certain impact on the performance of PET matte silver thermal labels, but this impact depends on the way of drilling, the size of the aperture, the location, and the specific application scenario of the label. Here's a breakdown of the likely impact:

First,the impact of the punching method

1.Laser drilling: Laser drilling is a high-precision, non-contact processing method, with a high degree of automation, fast processing speed, smooth and beautiful hole surface. For PET matte silver thermal labels, laser drilling can reduce material damage, maintain the integrity of the label, and have a relatively small impact on performance. However, if the laser parameters are not set properly, it may cause the label to overheat locally, thus affecting the performance of its heat-sensitive coating.

2.Mechanical drilling: Mechanical drilling may physically impact the label through a punch or drill, which may cause some damage to the label material, especially when the aperture is large or the label is thin. Mechanical drilling may also cause burrs or deformations on the edge of the label, which will affect its appearance and adhesive performance.

Second,the effect of aperture size and position

1.Aperture size: The larger the aperture, the more serious the damage to the label material may be, and it will also affect the strength and stability of the label. When choosing the aperture size, it is necessary to make a trade-off according to the actual demand.

2.Position selection: The choice of punch position is also very important. If the hole is near the edge of the label or the key information area, the label attaching effect may be affected or important information may be damaged. Therefore, when selecting the punching position, it is necessary to ensure that it will not adversely affect the use of the label.

Third,Consideration of application scenarios

1.Durability requirements: If the label needs to be used in harsh environments (such as high temperature, humidity, chemical corrosion, etc.), then punching may exacerbate the impact of these adverse factors on the performance of the label. Therefore, you need to consider the specific application scenarios when selecting whether to punch holes and how to punch holes.

2.Aesthetic requirements: Punching may affect the appearance of the label, especially in the occasions that have high requirements for the appearance of the label (such as high-end commodity packaging, art labels, etc.). In this case, you need to weigh the necessity of punching against aesthetic requirements.

Fourth,Conclusion

In summary, punching may have a certain impact on the performance of PET dumb silver thermal labels, but this impact depends on the punching method, aperture size, location and the specific application scenario of the label. The above factors need to be considered and balanced when deciding whether to drill and what type of drilling method to use. At the same time, in order to ensure the performance and quality of the label, it is recommended to select professional punching equipment and operators.
