What are the ways of surface treatment of tag coated paper?

Tag coated paper can be finished in a variety of ways to enhance the visual effect, texture and durability of the tag. The following are some common tag coated paper surface treatment methods:

1. Glazing

Definition: Glazing is coated with a colorless and transparent coating on the surface of the printed matter, which forms a thin and uniform transparent and bright layer on the surface of the printed matter after leveling, drying and calender.

Effect: After polishing, the surface of the tag coated paper is more bright, smooth, and the color is more bright, and it also has a certain moisture-proof and anti-fouling ability.

2. Film coating

Definition: Laminating is the plastic film coated with adhesive, and paper printed matter after heating, pressure bonded together to form a paper-plastic product.

Effect: After the coating, the surface of the tag coated paper is more thick, crisp, wear-resistant, folding resistant, water resistant, oil resistant, chemical resistant, corrosion resistant, and can also protect the printed text from being worn.

3. Gold/silver stamping

Definition: Hot stamping/silver is the use of hot press transfer principle, the aluminum layer in the electrochemical aluminum transfer to the substrate surface to form a special metal effect.

Effect: Gold/silver can make the surface of the tag coated paper show a bright metallic luster, improve the grade and texture of the tag.

Step 4 Bump

Definition: embossed printing is the use of the larger pressure of the relief press, the local pattern or text on the semi-finished product has been printed into a clear embossed, three-dimensional graphics.

Effect: Concave and convex processing can make the pattern or text on the surface of the tag coated paper more prominent, increase the sense of touch, and improve the visual effect.

5. UV

Definition: UV is an abbreviation of Ultraviolet (ultraviolet), UV printing is a printing process that dries and cures ink by ultraviolet light.

Effect: UV printing can make the surface of the tag coated paper partial or all show a high gloss effect, while having a certain wear resistance and scratch resistance.

6. Embossing

Definition: Embossing is the process of pressing various patterns and patterns on the surface of paper by embossing machine.

Effect: Embossing can make the surface of the tag coated paper show a unique texture effect, increase the beauty and touch.

7. Local UV glazing

Definition: Local UV glazing is performed on the parts that need to be emphasized on the print.

Effect: Local UV glazing can make specific areas on the tag coated paper more prominent, forming a sharp contrast effect, while increasing gloss and wear resistance.

These surface treatments can be selected and combined according to actual needs to achieve the best visual effect and texture. At the same time, it should be noted that different surface treatment methods have different effects on printed matter, so the design, use and cost of the tag need to be considered comprehensively when choosing.
