In this article, the editor will share with you six common packaging post-press processes for reference.

1. Lamination

Also known as "overplastic", "mounting glue", "film", etc., the lamination is a transparent plastic film that is pasted on the surface of the printed matter by hot pressing, which not only increases the gloss, makes the color of the picture and text more vivid, but also plays a waterproof role. , Antifouling effect, there are many kinds of films, such as matte film, glossy film, anti-scratch film, touch film, laser film, etc., which are often used in post-press processing of high-quality cartons, cartons and other packaging.

2. hot stamping

Commonly known as "hot stamping", it is to make the pattern or text to be hot stamped into a convex plate, and transfer the hot stamping foil to the substrate with the help of certain pressure and temperature, showing a strong metallic light and making the product have a high-grade texture. At the same time, because aluminum foil has excellent physical and chemical properties, it can protect printed matter.

3. Embossing

Bump embossing is a special technique for finishing and processing the surface of printed matter. It uses a concave-convex mold to plastically deform the substrate of the printed matter under a certain pressure, and then performs artistic processing on the surface of the printed matter. The embossed various embossed graphics and patterns show different shades of patterns, with a clear sense of relief, which increases the three-dimensional sense and artistic appeal of the printed matter. 

4. local UV 

Partial UV process can be realized by screen printing or flexo printing process. It is a kind of surface finishing process of printed matter.

The embossing process is a kind of mold with concave and convex lines, which deforms the pressure-bearing materials (PVC, aluminum, wood, paper, etc.) under the action of certain pressure and temperature to form a certain pattern, so as to decorate the packaging The technology of artistic processing on the surface of materials.

6. V groove

V-groove means that the corners around the packaging box are normally made smooth, but after the V-groove, its surroundings become right angles, with distinct water chestnut angles and very beautiful. It is often used in gift box production. Box customers also choose to use V-groove
