After the cosmetic package products are shaped and treated on the surface, it is necessary to carry out graphic printing, so that the product information and brand information can be conveyed through graphic printing. Common graphic printing is divided into a variety of, here we mainly introduce several common processes in the cosmetic packaging industry, such as screen printing, pad printing, thermal transfer, hot stamping, water transfer printing and other processes. In this article, we briefly describe the pad printing process: pad printing process, refers to the required printing pattern or text first using the photographic plate making method of steel plate made of gravure. And then through the special silicone print head dip ink transfer on the object to be printed, the shape of the silicone can be freely changed in accordance with the shape of the object to be printed to complete the printing.
1, pad printing process characteristics: 1, process costs: mold costs (low), the cost of a single piece (low). 2、Typical products: used for transportation interiors, electronic consumer products and sports equipment surface printing. 3、Yield is suitable: single piece to large quantity is available. 4、Quality: clear printing details can be achieved, even on undulating surfaces. 5, speed: single printing time (1-5 seconds).
Second, the pad printing process components: 1, pad printing machine: printing machine this printing equipment for plastic, toys, glass, metal, ceramics, electronics, IC seal, etc.. Pad printing is an indirect concavable glue head printing technology, has now become a major method of printing and decoration of the surface of various objects. 2, pad printing glue head: pad printing glue head is the pattern on the steel plate through the glue head as a carrier, and then transfer the pattern on the steel plate on the product; pad printing glue requires fine quality, no impurities, good resilience, good oiling, clear pattern printing. 3, pad printing ink: ink for pad printing focus, ink thin concentration and clean or not affect the quality of printing. General ink must be stirred well after opening. Add the right amount of thinner to reduce the viscosity of the ink. Ink and thinner ratio of 5:1. Because the ink is contaminated in use, the volatilization of resin, must be replaced regularly for cleaning. After use, the ink should be kept in a closed and refrigerated place. Pad printing process in the cosmetic packaging materials are also more applications, such as glass bottle surface, plastic bottles, pump head, hose, etc..
