What post-processing can be done for coated paper tags?

After the printing of the coated paper tag, it is usually subjected to a series of post-processing to improve its appearance, durability and functionality. The following are some common coated paper tags after processing:

1. Film coating

Objective: The film coating can effectively solve the problem of fading of the tag and improve the color fastness. At the same time, the film can also increase the gloss and texture of the tag.

Type: The film is divided into bright film and dumb film and other types. The bright film makes the tag look more shiny, while the matte film gives a low-key, calm feeling.

Environmental considerations: Although the film can bring many benefits, but due to environmental considerations, some customers may not choose to use.

2. Gold/silver stamping

Purpose: The gold or silver stamping process can make the words or patterns on the tag appear metallic texture, improve the grade and beauty of the tag.

Note: Before stamping gold/silver, pay attention to the printing bite and pull gauge position to ensure the accuracy of hot stamping. At the same time, it is also necessary to choose different qualities of electrolytic aluminum according to the needs of first stamping or first covering.

3. Embossing/embossing

Purpose: Through embossing or embossing process, three-dimensional pattern or text can be formed on the tag to increase the touch and visual effect.

Application: This process is often used on tags that need to emphasize a brand identity or a specific message.

4. Indentation and folding

Purpose: For tags that need to be folded, indentation treatment can ensure that the folding line is clear and accurate, and avoid cracking of the paper after folding.

Note: Pay attention to the effect of the thickness of the paper and the printing color on the folding effect when indentation.

5. Punching and cutting

Objective: To cut the printed coated paper tag into the final shape. For shaped tags, this is the final process.

Note: Ensure the accuracy and stability of the mold when punching, avoid slant or crack. For square tags, pay attention to the flatness and no rough edges of the cut when cutting.

6. Local UV glazing

Purpose: Through the local UV glazing process, it is possible to create a highlighting effect in a specific area of the tag to highlight important information or patterns.

Effect: This process can not only enhance the visual effect of the tag, but also increase its touch texture.

7. Screen printing

Application: The screen printing process is often used for special effects on the tag, such as frosting, creasing, crystal and other effects.

Features: Screen printing has the characteristics of bright colors and fine patterns, which is suitable for making tags with personalized needs.

8. Dry after printing

Objective: To ensure that the printing ink is completely dry, to avoid adhesion or fading in the post-processing process.

Methods: According to the thickness of the printed paper and the degree of easy drying to adjust the appropriate printing pressure and speed, and if necessary, use the auxiliary drying means such as powder spraying.

In summary, there are a variety of post-processing methods for coated paper tags, and appropriate processes can be selected according to actual needs to improve the quality and visual effects of the tags.
