Innovative surface treatment for color box packaging, making it more attractive

The printing of color box packaging generally requires special processing techniques, such as gloss glue, matte glue, gloss oil, hot stamping, silver stamping, laser laser, image processing, etc. The surface treatment of products printed on color box packaging is mainly due to the following reasons:

1. Improving appearance quality: Surface treatment can make printed materials smoother and brighter, increase the brightness and three-dimensional sense of color, improve the visual effect of the color box, and thus enhance the appearance quality and attractiveness of the product.

2. Enhance durability: Some surface treatment technologies, such as lamination and polishing, can improve the durability of packaging materials and prevent them from being affected by wear, pollution, and scratches. Make it more durable and extend its service life. It can also prevent products from being damaged or contaminated during transportation and storage.

3. Increase functionality: Through surface treatment, special features such as waterproofing, oil resistance, and anti slip can be added to the color box to meet the specific needs of the product.

4. Improve printing effect: Some surface treatment methods can improve the color saturation, contrast, and glossiness of printed materials, making patterns and text clearer and more vivid.

5. Adapt to different printing processes: Surface treatment can help color boxes better adapt to various printing processes, such as hot stamping, embossing, etc., thereby achieving more diverse design effects. Including anti-counterfeiting measures, such as hot stamping, silver stamping, laser, image processing, etc. These measures are created through unique processing, making it more difficult to replicate or imitate color box packaging products, and improving product safety.

In short, surface treatment can enhance the aesthetics, protection, and functionality of color boxes, meet the needs of different products and market requirements, and improve their performance in terms of aesthetics, durability, safety, anti-counterfeiting, etc., providing higher quality value-added services for product packaging.

Surface treatment process for color box packaging:

Film covering

The advantages of laminating are waterproofing, storage resistance, and aesthetics. Film laminating adhesive refers to a type of adhesive that combines BOPP film onto paper. Currently, there are two ways to touch printing and packaging products in China: water-based film lamination and oil-based film lamination. Currently, water-based film lamination is the main method, based on the concept of environmental protection, and its effect is slightly inferior to oil-based film lamination.

Packaging printed materials are also divided into two types of lamination materials:

1. Light film (bright film), the bright film itself is relatively bright, and the surface of the color box packaging box flashes and brightens after being covered with a bright film.

2. Matte film, which is a foggy surface; After lamination, the surface is matte and frosted like a matte finish.

Hot stamping

At present, the hot stamping method for color box packaging boxes is electrochemical aluminum hot stamping foil, which mainly uses heating and pressure to transfer the text of the copy box to the surface of the printed packaging paper being hot stamped. The colors include gold, silver, green, blue, laser, etc., all of which are called hot stamping.

The characteristics of hot stamping are clear and beautiful patterns, bright and eye-catching colors, and wear resistance. In cigarette packaging printing, the application of hot stamping technology accounts for more than 85%, and it is also widely used in commercial packaging production. It can serve as the finishing touch, highlight the theme, and display nobility, especially for places that require special emphasis such as trademarks, logos, and corporate names.

Striking concavity and convexity

Striking concavity and convexity is an important process in packaging post press processing, which is a pressing method that does not require printing ink. When embossing, a set of concave and convex templates corresponding to the yin and yang of the graphics and text are used. The substrate is placed between them, and a relief shaped concave and convex graphics and text are pressed out by applying greater pressure. This method is often used for post-press processing of printed materials and color box packaging, such as for the decoration of packaging boxes, trademarks, cigarette packs, greeting cards, bottle labels, etc., to achieve a vivid and beautiful three-dimensional sense. The proper use of embossing technology can increase the layering of printing patterns and play a finishing role in packaging products. This process has the lowest cost in post-press surface treatment.

UV matte

UV frosting is a post-press process that uses UV light to dry and solidify ink. It requires a UV ink containing photosensitizers to be combined with a UV curing lamp. The UV process transfers patterns and text to the surface of printed packaging paper, making it shiny and special. It is especially used for local printing areas such as trade marks, logos, and company names.
