Two world trends in packaging and printing

Global printing and post-press experts agree that two world trends are taking place. One is the highly finished packaging materials and the second is the safety of packaging and printing.

The combination of printing inks, suitable substrates, appropriate printing equipment and post-press processing technology, and the innovative power of the industry are all important factors driving the future development of packaging and printing.

In the packaging and printing market, shiny and stylish printing effects such as hot stamping and hot stamping are getting more and more attention, and other effects with metallic texture are also quite noticeable. General Varnish, UV oil, matt and gloss varnish, foil stamping, cold foil, rapid-drying inks, etc. Wait, all these printing effects are used to attract consumers to shop. It can be said that printers can process almost all substrate surfaces.

Sheet-fed offset printing in packaging printing has a wide range of substrates, including corrugated cardboard, plastic sheets of various thicknesses, and iron, composite materials, lightweight / heavy / double-sided paper and cardboard, etc. At present, the production speed of printing presses can be as high as 18,000 sheets / hour, and the degree of automation will be further improved, thereby enhancing its cost efficiency.

In China and Japan, gravure printing occupies an important position. Because a large number of printing jobs, especially the cigarette pack printing are used intaglio printing.

Has the RFID boom gone?

If you search for the keyword RFID on the Internet, you can find a fairly thick book of patented technology and related seminars, products and articles. The major printing service providers quickly set up specialized companies or departments to develop high-tech security technologies themselves. Even in such a narrow field as RFID label printing, there are many latecomers actively developing.

In recent years, as more and more products are printed with RFID tags, the packaging and printing industry has shown a boom. But now, optimism may gradually weaken. The crackdown came first from the information protection departments of the United States and Germany. They often complained that technology such as RFID made customers have no privacy. Another reason is that the cost of RFID tags is still too high. As of September 2007, the current state of the world market is that, depending on the size and type of RFID tags, application areas, and printing volume, the manufacturing cost of each tag is approximately between 0.05 and 0.08 Euro. This price point is too high for many product packaging suppliers. In addition, some experts calmly believe that in the respective logistics supply chains of manufacturers and logistics providers, RFID tags will have greater development. [next]

From security code to invisible pattern

Data processing is becoming more and more important. The printing and packaging industry has a large number of customer data in the form of labels and barcodes. People are using these materials and their printed materials in various ways, from security codes to so-called invisible patterns.

Generally speaking, the purpose of security printing is to provide protection against forgery, gray marketing, and piracy. Because of these actions, the products to be protected by the security measures on the packaging have lost hundreds of trillions of euros. Currently, there are many protection methods on the market for us to choose from, such as guilloche printing, holograms and security threads. Among them, color coding and color combinations are very prominent because of the millions of possible changes. Another increasingly attractive method is "paper fingerprints" because its anti-counterfeiting properties cannot be seen at a glance.

Label printers engaged in this business usually connect their print data with the manufacturer of electronic control devices. More and more traditional printing companies are increasingly becoming equipment suppliers, and their products include handheld devices or inspection systems that can check printed materials online. Therefore, between the control device and the label, a fast and barrier-free operation interface is necessary.

This field may develop to the apex in the application of ATMs. Moreover, security printing provided by label printers also includes printing banknotes and bank cards with special security inks. They also supply control devices on ATMs. The current standard speed of such devices is to process 1800 bills, vouchers or banknotes per minute. In the future, people will need higher reading or operation speed.

Cross promotion is benefited from perfect data processing technology

In English-speaking countries, everyday competition is everywhere. Some offset printers do their best to help customers win the competition. It is common that all customer data processing, control, printing, transmission and packaging of bingo cards can only be done semi-automatically. At the same time, it also needs to have a perfect logistics transportation system. In cross-media cross-promotion activities, the collected materials are often used to print admission tickets at first. These materials can also be used for printing flyers, advertising or creating websites. For example, a user may recognize the "magnifying glass" icon on a website, click on it to expand the search scope, and the advertisement content appears repeatedly, just as it appears in leaflets, advertisement spreads, or packaging. Of course, the label or bill also has the characteristics of a magnifying glass.

A further application example is the use of printed graphic marks for packaging and promotion of soft / cold beverages. The prize-winning experts use the printed code as a mark and cover it with a special coating that can be hung up (thermochromic ink or other safety ink can be used). These printed materials will also enter the computer programs of discos and bars through the hands of software manufacturers. If the code of the mark is correct, the beverage package will be displayed on the public screen, and the discotheque customers will also receive a bonus. At the same time, the advertising information on the packaging will be followed again by customers. The code on the package is just the trigger for the entire digital program, and vice versa.

Many confectionery suppliers have priority in identifying and deciphering barcodes. The printing code is covered by a silver bar. Customers can only read the code after purchasing the product, and enter the code at the computer at home to participate in the competition. As a by-product of this method, these labels are also particularly safe, so customers ca n’t tear them off the package before checking out.

In the United States, expensive branded products often integrate advertising into specialized combination marketing activities. In the end, the printing work is done by the packaging processor. For example, there is a kind of transparencies, if you tear it off the product and put it in a special area in front of the computer screen, you can try to solve some online problems. Particularly attractive is that with the help of packaging printers and the necessary printed materials or award-winning codes, manufacturers of branded products can also send emails to customers.

Promotional brochures are very popular

Publicity brochures containing safety guidelines and product information are becoming popular all over the world. They provide rich product information on many pages, but they are still printed and packaged in a compact format. Anything, from a delicious cheese to a bottle of fine wine, will have a brochure in its packaging. The detailed packaging inserts that accompany the medicines are even more commonplace. Printers are also committed to developing drug label application systems. Now, their post-press equipment can print labels with features such as tear-off and re-printing. In addition, the label can also have a second function, which is to decorate the infusion bottle.
