The status quo and development trend of domestic self-adhesive label printing machine

Since the introduction of self-adhesive label printing technology in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with the continuous development of China’s socialist market economy, self-adhesive label printing has entered a golden period of development, and domestic self-adhesive labels The manufacture of printing presses has also grown from scratch. There have been rapid developments in terms of specifications, variety, and performance, catching up and reaching the international advanced level.
First, the domestic market status of self-adhesive label printing press With the continuous development of the domestic packaging and decorating printing industry, self-adhesive label printing gradually occupies a growing market, in our country label by the 1970s The curiosity has become an item that can be seen everywhere in people's lives today. It has become the first choice for a variety of product labels and is widely used in various commodities and advertising, supermarket stores, postal transportation, and anti-counterfeiting. At the same time, the market has also imposed higher requirements on the quality of self-adhesive label printing, and it has obviously promoted the manufacture of self-adhesive label printers, making it a major development.
At the end of the 1970s, China first introduced a self-adhesive label printing machine from Japan, mainly based on Japan's B100 round-press flat label printing machine. This model probably imported more than 100 models. station. In 1983, Taihang Printing Machinery Factory produced China's first round-flattening type LYBQ4230 self-adhesive label printing machine. So far, it has produced and sold more than 1,500 sets of self-adhesive label printing press products, and its products have been distributed in various provinces, cities and autonomous regions in the country. With the vigorous development of adhesives in China, at the end of the 1990s, foreign label printing press manufacturers entered the domestic market in a wholly-owned and joint-venture form. Lintec Corporation established a wholly-owned industrial limited company in Tianjin. The company, which produces round-pressed round-type self-adhesive label printing presses, has gradually occupied a certain market with its high printing quality and high degree of automation, but its price is higher. The sole proprietorships and joint ventures set up by the Hong Kong and Taiwanese businessmen in the coastal areas have been launched in recent years. They mainly produce flat, flat and flat self-adhesive label printers. Because of their low price, they are printed on domestic small-scale stickers. Accepted by manufacturers, and gradually occupy a place in the domestic market, with Taiwan's Luotie-based digital flat press-type self-adhesive label printing presses, also introduced in the domestic market. It is worth noting that the flexographic printing presses in Europe and America are gradually entering the domestic market in the form of printed stickers.
Second, domestic self-adhesive label printing press technical performance and functional configuration from the imprint form points, sticker printing presses have a round pressure round, round flat, flat flat, round pressure round several. Among them, the round-press circular type is divided into two types: organic group type and satellite type. This type of machine has a high degree of automation, and the quality of printed materials is high. Generally, a single-color drying method (UV drying) is used to achieve high quality. The disadvantage of multi-color printing is that the frontier printing is not as flexible as the intermittent printing, and the price is high, and it is suitable for long-term business. Round flattening machine is the main equipment for domestic adhesive label printing. It adopts intermittent printing, steplessly adjustable printing steps, applicable to all kinds of long and short-term business, and it is accurate in overprinting, medium-quality prints, and multicolor Printing, bronzing, die-cutting, punching, printing numbers, laminating, UV drying, reeling, slicing, slitting, rewinding and many Other functions make the printing of adhesive labels one time. Flat pressure sticker printing machine specifications, print quality is second, but the structure is simple, the price is low, many users are selected by small sticker printing, for some larger size adhesive printing products, generally used Printed on a sheet-fed offset press, die-cut outside the line, and manually discharged.
Third, the status of self-adhesive label printing machine manufacturers Taihang Printing Machinery Factory is the first manufacturer of self-adhesive label printing presses in China, from 1983 to produce the first label printing machine LYBQ4230 label printing in China. Since then, the plant has formed a series of self-adhesive label printers. In recent years, the plant has also produced a satellite-type round press YT6250 color carton label printer, using a single color UV drying, 6 color printing, 1 Group coating, flat die cutting, round die cutting linkage, users are now mainly used for high-grade battery sticker production. In 1999, the YT460 unit type flexographic printing press produced by this factory has a unique flat die-cutting linkage, which can be used not only for the printing of ordinary trademarks, but also for the printing of stickers. The printing of this machine can reach 175 Line/inch. In 2000, based on the YZW4230 self-adhesive label printing machine, the plant adopted the most advanced printing anti-counterfeiting technology in the world, and successfully developed a digital anti-counterfeiting label printing machine, which is a new technology for the use of digital anti-counterfeiting in China. Actively promote the role.
Lindeke (Tianjin) Industrial Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lintec Co., Ltd. in Japan. It mainly produces automatic labeling machines, and it produces round-pressed round units LPM-300ST self-adhesive label printing. Machine, due to the use of a single-color drying method (immediately drying each color) to achieve high-quality multi-color printing, its outstanding feature is the use of the latest efficient intermittent label printing, avoiding other unit type label printing machine due to the size of the label Differently, the disadvantages of many different diameter plate rollers are required. Coastal Taiwanese companies, Hong Kong-owned companies, joint ventures, and domestic Yichang Printing Machinery Co., Ltd. are mainly engaged in the production of small-scale flat-flat self-adhesive label printers with a web width of 100-180mm.
Fourth, self-adhesive printing factory how to configure the self-adhesive label printing machine Label printing machine generally has a linkage form, in particular the round pressure type in addition to a multi-color printing function, but also with die-cutting, hot stamping, red Holes, printing numbers, rewinding and other functions, can be printed on a sticker at once, for the average user, buy a round flat-type self-adhesive label printer, you can complete the label printing system. At the beginning of the reform and opening up, many users in the coastal areas of Guangdong started from buying circular press-type label printing linkages. Nowadays, they have developed into a large-scale label printing factory.
For non-monetary and powerful sticker printing factories, we recommend the configuration of round and flat pressure label printing machines, generally in the form of 1:3, with higher-grade adhesive labels in the circle. Flattened self-adhesive printing machine printing, ordinary stickers printed on the flat pressure sticker printing machine, flat pressure sticker printing machine than the round flat pressing type with high efficiency and reliability Good advantage, but the quality of printed products is second only. Due to the decreasing number of large-volume, fixed-cycle orders (long-lived) in the adhesive label market in recent years, and the increasing number of short-term activities that require irregular delivery, small-to-medium quantities, and short lead-times, it is recommended that funds A strong sticker printing factory should not blindly purchase round-press round label printing presses and unit-type flexographic printing presses. Although this model has the advantages of high quality and high efficiency, its price is high and it is more applicable. In the long version of the live, round-cut round die cutter production costs are also higher, users should be based on their own business conditions appropriate purchase.
For the low level of specialization and regional label printing factories, they also need to purchase printing machines and flat die cutting tools.
Fifth, flexographic printing - the development trend of future adhesive label printing With the improvement of the national economy, the rapid development of the packaging and decorating printing industry, self-adhesive label users have higher and higher requirements for their quality. Nowadays, the printing plates of adhesive labels are mostly made of solid resin plates, and the inks are made of ordinary inks or UV inks. The printing method is in the form of letterpress. Although it has the advantage of full ink, the print network is limited in its liveliness, and generally it can only reach 133 lines. / Inch, far from meeting the requirements of users of adhesive labels for higher and higher quality of printed products, and flexographic printing is a new type of printing technology that is currently popularized in the international printing industry. It prints in the United States. The proportion has reached 70%. The advantage of this printing process is that the machine structure is simple, the cost is low, the printing quality can be comparable to offset printing, gravure printing, and has the advantage of thick ink layers that offset printing does not have; the ink uses aqueous ink. , does not pollute the environment, and even some developed countries have legislation that regulates the use of food, and packaging labels for pharmaceuticals must be printed on flexographic plates.
There are more than 150 imported flexographic printing presses in China, and dozens of domestic-made flexographic printing presses with high-grade brands have also entered the domestic market. There are also a number of laminated narrow-width flexographic printing presses specifically designed for printing on dry rubber labels. As many as ten, but because the flexographic printing presses generally use round-bore circular die-cutting, and its required round-bore circular die-cutting knife can not be processed at home temporarily, need to order overseas, high price, long cycle, only for long The live version is not adapted to the large demand for short-lived domestic adhesive labels, and the flexible printing press itself is not accepted by domestic label printing factories due to its high degree of automation and high price. This makes the flexo printing label subject to certain restrictions.
But in any case, the advantages of flexographic printing with its high-quality prints, uniquely called “green printing”, will become the development trend of future label printing.
For manufacturers producing adhesive label printers in China, more efforts should be made on adhesive flexographic printing machines to make them flexible and easy to use. In addition, the research and development of domestic round circular die cutter should also be carried out as soon as possible, so that the manufacturing cycle is short and the price is low, so as to further promote the development of self-adhesive label flexo printing in China.
