If packaging wants to be unique, printing technology must be emphasized. Do you know the common techniques for packaging printing? Let's take a look together.

Lamination



Lamination: also known as "over molding", "laminating", "film pasting", etc. Covering film is a transparent plastic film that is hot pressed onto the surface of printed materials to protect and increase gloss. At the same time, the colors of graphics and text are more vivid, and it also plays a role in waterproofing and anti fouling. It can be divided into two parts: surface processing and molding processing for hot stamping. Film covering has been widely used for surface binding and protection of book covers, picture books, commemorative albums, postcards, product manuals, calendars, maps, etc.

Hot Stamping



Hot stamping and silver stamping: Hot stamping is a common printing and decoration process, also known as "hot stamping". Its production principle is to heat a metal printing plate, apply foil, and press gold text or patterns onto the printed material. Hot stamping is similar to hot stamping, but the materials used are different. Hot stamping will present a golden luster, while hot stamping will present a silver luster. The characteristics of hot stamping and silver stamping: clear and beautiful patterns, bright and eye-catching colors, often used for logo printing.

Concave Convex Embossing



Concave convex embossing: Using a convex template (male template) to imprint a three-dimensional relief pattern on the surface of a printed material through pressure (the printed material is partially raised, giving it a three-dimensional effect and creating a visual impact), which is called embossing; Concatenation is achieved through the use of concave templates (female templates) through pressure. Its characteristics are: it has a clear sense of relief, which can increase the three-dimensional and artistic appeal of printed materials.
