What is the production process of copper plate label paper?

The production process of copper plate label paper is a complex process involving multiple steps, mainly including raw material preparation, layout production, printing, post-processing and finished product cutting. The following is a detailed analysis of the production process of copper plate label paper:

First, raw material preparation

Main raw materials: white cardboard, coated paper, printing ink, coated adhesive, etc. White cardboard is thick, not easy to deform, suitable for the base material of label paper; The coated paper is relatively thin, and the publishing surface is produced by printing, which has high durability and aesthetics.

Printing ink selection: printing ink rich in color, moderate consistency, is an important material for copper plate label paper printing, for printing color markers and text information.

Coated adhesive: used to enhance the waterproof, antifouling, durability and other characteristics of printed matter.

Second, layout production

Design pattern: First of all, you need to design the label pattern and text and other information. This can be done through professional design software or graphic editing software, or it can be designed by hand.

Plate making: The use of special copper plate making equipment, the design of the pattern and text and other information transferred to the copper plate. This process includes transferring the pattern to the transparent film by printing or hand painting to form a transparent mold, and then applying a moistening solution on the surface of the copper plate, placing the transparent mold on the copper plate, and making the publishing surface through the steps of exposure, plate opening, development, and plate washing.

Third, printing

Printing process: The produced copper plate is placed in the printing press for printing. In the printing process, the printing pressure, speed, ink flow and other factors need to be controlled to ensure the clarity and accuracy of information such as color code and text.

Printing method: According to different printing needs, monochrome, two-color or multi-color printing presses can be used for printing.

Fourth, post-processing

Coating treatment: The label paper needs to be coated after printing to improve the durability of the label. Apply an appropriate amount of laminating glue on the printed surface, and then relax by heating to smooth the surface of the label paper and prevent bubbles and wrinkles.

Drying: After the coating is complete, it needs to be dried to ensure that the coated adhesive is fully cured.

Fifth, Finished product cutting

Cutting: After the preceding steps are complete, use a knife cutter to cut the label paper and remove excess material to form the final label paper.

Edge treatment: According to needs, the edge of the cut label paper can be polished to increase the beauty.

Sixth, packaging and delivery

Packing: The cut label paper is packed for transportation and storage.

Delivery: The packaged label paper will be sent to the customer's designated location.

It should be noted that the production process of copper plate label paper needs to strictly abide by the operating procedures, and the production process needs to pay attention to the control of temperature, humidity and other factors to ensure the stability of printing quality. In addition, copper plate label paper is suitable for a variety of fields, such as food packaging, cosmetics, beverages, electronic products, etc., but in the process of use, it is necessary to pay attention to the storage environment and use requirements to ensure the anti-counterfeiting and readability of the label.

The above information is for reference only, and the production process of different manufacturers may vary due to equipment, technology and other factors. In the actual production process, manufacturers will adjust and optimize according to their own conditions and customer needs.
