Self-adhesive labels are widely used in various industries, such as logistics, medical, retail, etc., because of their convenience and aesthetics. As the market continues to expand, the demand for self-adhesive labels is also increasing. In order to meet the market demand, the production and processing of self-adhesive labels has gradually become an important industry. This article will detail what equipment is needed for the production and processing of self-adhesive labels. Label customization
1. Self-adhesive material preparation equipment.
Self-adhesive materials are the basis for the production of self-adhesive labels, so preparing self-adhesive materials is the first step in production and processing. In this link, the self-adhesive material preparation equipment that needs to be used mainly includes:
1.Paper cutter: It is used to cut large rolls of self-adhesive material into small rolls suitable for production and processing.
2.Slitting machine: It is used to slitting the cut small rolls of self-adhesive materials for subsequent printing and die-cutting.
3.Dust removal equipment: used to remove dust and impurities on the surface of self-adhesive materials to ensure printing quality.
2. Printing equipment.
The printing of self-adhesive labels is an important part of the production and processing, and the following printing equipment is required
1.Rotary printing machine: suitable for mass production, can print a variety of colors, high printing quality.
2.Flatbed press: suitable for small batch production or printing of specific patterns, with high flexibility.
3.Digital printing machine: With the continuous development of digital technology, digital printing machine is more and more widely used in the field of self-adhesive label printing, with the characteristics of short version, high efficiency and variable data printing.
3. Processing equipment.
After the printing is completed, a series of processing processes are required for the self-adhesive label, which requires the use of the following processing equipment:
1.Die-cutting machine: It is used to die-cut the printed self-adhesive material into the desired shape and size.
2.Hot stamping machine: used to stamping various patterns and words on self-adhesive labels to increase the aesthetics and anti-counterfeiting of labels.
3.Laminating machine: It is used to coat a layer of film on the surface of self-adhesive labels to increase the wear-resistant, waterproof and other functions of the label.
4.Punching machine: Punch holes in the self-adhesive label as needed for subsequent labeling or use.
5.Sheeting machine: It is used to split the die-cut self-adhesive label for subsequent packaging and transportation.
Fourth, testing equipment.
In order to ensure the quality and consistency of self-adhesive labels, various tests are required during the production and processing process, and the following testing equipment is required for this link:
1.Appearance inspection equipment: It is used to detect the appearance quality of self-adhesive labels, such as whether there are stains, scratches, color differences and other defects.
2.Thickness testing equipment: used to detect whether the thickness of self-adhesive labels meets the requirements.
3.Stickiness testing equipment: It is used to detect whether the stickiness of self-adhesive labels is appropriate and whether it is easy to apply.
4.Colorimetric testing equipment: used to detect whether the color of the self-adhesive label meets the requirements.
5.Weather resistance testing equipment: used to test the performance of self-adhesive labels in different environments, such as high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, moisture resistance and other properties.
Through the combination of the above equipment, the self-adhesive label production and processing process from raw material preparation to final product can be completed. Different equipment has different functions and characteristics, and choosing the right equipment according to the actual production needs is the key to ensure the quality and production efficiency of self-adhesive labels. At the same time, with the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous change of the market, the self-adhesive label production and processing industry also needs to constantly update and improve equipment to meet the changing market demand.
