Cigarette packaging printing as a technological pioneer, How to alleviate industry anxiety about the future

Flexographic printing 　　

Flexographic printing uses a flexible photosensitive resin plate, A printing method that uses a mesh roller to transfer ink for printing, Due to the protruding graphic and textual information on the printing plate, Therefore, it also belongs to a type of relief printing. The thickness of the flexographic printing plate is 1mm～5mm Photosensitive resin plate, Flexographic printing has a thicker ink layer, Between offset printing and gravure printing, Color stability, High printing efficiency, Ink green and environmentally friendly, Has been widely used in food packaging. Flexographic printing is less commonly used in cigarette packaging, In the tobacco industry, the main ones areThe cardboard boxes for cigarettes are printed using flexographic printingmethod.

gravure printing 　　

Concave printing is a concave graphic printing plateDirectly imprint ink onto the substrateThe printing method. The depth of the concave pits on the printing plate determines the concentration, lightness, and layering of the ink, If the pit is deep, The ink layer for printing will be thicker; On the contrary, if the pit is shallow, The ink layer for printing will be thinner. The ink layer of gravure printed packaging products is thick, Having a good sense of hierarchy, Bright ink color, High saturation, Stable product quality, High printing efficiency, The printing plate is very durable, Generally applied to cigarette products with particularly high demand.

screen print 　　

Screen printing is the principle of using the mesh holes in the graphic and textual parts of a screen printing plate to allow ink to pass through, Squeeze by manual or semi-automatic scraper, The printing method of transferring ink onto a substrate through mesh holes. Screen printing ink layer is the thickest among the four printing methods (Ink layer accessible 30～100μm) , Screen printing ink layerHas a strong tactile sensation, strong three-dimensional effect, Can produce effects such as ice flowers and wrinkles, Widely used to express the special texture on the surface of cigarette packaging, Enhance the sense of grade of cigarette products.

digital printing 　　

Digital printing is the process of transferring computer graphic and textual information, Printing method of directly printing on paper through data conversion and printing equipment. It completely breaks through the basic process flow of traditional printing, Implemented no printing plate, dynamic data, Complete full-color images in one go, It is a new type of printing method.

The biggest feature of digital printing is the lack of printing and variable information, It integrates printing, electron, computer, network, Various technologies such as communication. The current production efficiency of digital printing technology is not high, Lack of stability, Mainly used for research and development sampling of cigarette packaging and small-scale printing of cigarette packaging trademarks.

butThe emergence of digital printing technology, Greatly improved the research and development efficiency of cigarette packaging, Complete a sampling of cigarette packaging once, Traditional printing methods require one to two days of time, And digital printing only requires 1 About hours.

green+wisdom=The Future of Packaging Printing

The State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television "printing industry "the 13th Five-Year Plan" Period Development Plan" Zhongming Clearly indicate: to "the 13th Five-Year Plan" final, The proportion of green printing output value to the total printing output value exceeds 25%, Digital PrintingAnnual compound growth rate exceeds 30%

Green printing does not refer to any particular printing technology, But it's a philosophy, It refers to the process of printing products from raw materials, production, Sales use, The entire lifecycle of recycling and reuse conforms to the concept of environmental protection. Green environmental protection is the mainstream trend of global development, It is a manifestation of social responsibility, Green printing is also the future development trend of the printing industry. Surrounding this concept, Currently, more intelligent printing technology has been developed and applied to cigarette packaging.

In this trend of intelligent upgrading, Traditional cigarette packaging has realized the importance of closely integrating cutting-edge technologies, As a driving force for technological innovation in the printing industry, The future of cigarette packaging is inevitably green, wise.
