What are the printing processes on the packaging box?

There are many printing processes on packaging boxes, and the following are some common processes:

1. Hot stamping: scientific name: Heat transfer printing, abbreviated as heat transfer printing, commonly known as hot stamping or silver stamping. It is the process of transferring the aluminum layer from anodized aluminum onto the surface of the substrate to form a special metallic effect; Hot stamping is a surface treatment technique that can deepen or highlight certain details of the design on packaging boxes. Hot stamping is commonly used on metal foil, leather, rubber, and paper, and can be combined with other printing processes to enhance the effect.

2. UV: refers to ultraviolet radiation, abbreviated as UV, and "UV transparent oil" is the full name. It relies on ultraviolet radiation to dry and solidify ink. UV is usually a screen printing process, and now there is also offset printing UV;

3. Embossing and embossing: scientific name is embossing, which is a process that uses pressure to cause local changes in the printed object to form a pattern. It is divided into two types: cheap ordinary etching plates and expensive laser engraving plates;

4. Inkjet printing: It is an efficient printing method that can be applied to packaging industry production lines to quickly print production dates, batch numbers, barcodes, and other content. Due to the fact that inkjet printing belongs to pressureless printing and uses a variety of ink types, its substrate range is very wide, which can be various packaging products.

5. Jin Cong: First, apply a layer of glue on the paper, and then sprinkle gold powder on the glue;

6. Anti counterfeiting printing: It can be said that in the field of packaging printing, anti-counterfeiting printing plays a crucial role. Common anti-counterfeiting methods include laser holographic anti-counterfeiting, special ink anti-counterfeiting, plate making and printing process anti-counterfeiting, and special paper anti-counterfeiting.

7. Gluing: Press a transparent plastic film on the printed paper, including crystal film, glossy film, and matte film, which is not environmentally friendly;

8. Label printing: Adhesive labels are commonly used materials in the packaging and decoration industry. In China, currently, trademark printing mainly relies on self-adhesive embossing. With the diversification and high-end of trademarks, other printing methods are gradually being added.

9. Punching: Make a hole on one or N sheets of paper according to the required size, with a dedicated punching machine;

10. Flocking: Brush a layer of glue on the paper, then apply a layer of material similar to fluff to make the paper look and feel a bit fluffy.

In short, there are various printing processes on packaging boxes, each of which can be used to achieve different effects, textures, and colors. The choice of printing method depends on the design requirements of the packaging box, material type, budget, and preliminary preparation work.
