Printing process requirements for smart labels

A new darling in the label field, SmartLabel, has quietly appeared. In the multimedia, in the information industry, electronics industry, smart cards and smart labels industry has caused a great deal, compared to non-contact cards, it can be informally referred to as "IC paper."

The core of the smart tag is a radio frequency circuit containing an IC chip, which is thin (O.08-O.12mm), flexible (optionally twisted, bent), and variable (up to a maximum of 32 pages and a minimum of only a few millimeters). The characteristics of the square) can be used to achieve "three nos", that is, no connection, no power, no contact, and rich changes in radio frequency. Smart labels provide new tools for anti-counterfeiting and logistics management.

What is the difference between smart label printing and label printing? It can be known from the definition of smart labels: Smart: RF circuits composed of chips and antennas. Label: The RF circuit has a commercial outerwear made by the label printing process. From the printer's point of view, the emergence of smart labels will bring higher gold content to traditional label printing.

The chip layer can be packaged and printed with materials such as paper, PE, PET, and even textiles to make self-adhesive stickers, paper cards, hanging labels, or other types of labels.

The chip is the key to the smart label, which is determined by its special structure and cannot withstand the pressure of the printing press. Therefore, in addition to ink-jet printing, it is generally used to print the surface layer first, and then combine with the chip layer and die-cut process. In smart label printing, there are unique requirements for some processes.

1, high yield

Since the value of the smart label itself is many times higher than that of an ordinary printed label, it brings high profits to the enterprise, and the high yield of printed matter is particularly important. In particular, many products require multi-color UV ink printing, glazing, and gluing. Most of the large-volume labels are also processed by roll-to-roll printing or interfaceless printing (Tung Hua), due to the large number of processing operations. Big difficulty in screening the finished product.

2. Thick paper printing

Can the device handle jams up to 350g/m2 in cardboard processing? Can the tension of the tape be kept stable during card printing and minimize the cumulative overlay error? If each frame is overprinted, However, there is a large error in the spacing between the screens, which also causes troubles for the compounding and the cutting process after the smart label is printed.

3. Composite processing

The key process in smart label processing is compounding. It is not only required that the size between each label does not change due to tension change, but also for thin film materials, the degree of increase in label spacing due to tensile deformation must also be considered and adjusted appropriately.

At present, China's label printing technology has a certain level, there are many beautifully designed and high-quality products. For a smart tag, just use a regular tag to make it a beautiful coat and there is no special place.

There is no lack of experienced companies in the trademark printing industry. If your company is known for its high-quality label printing, there is no problem with providing a “cloth” for smart labels. Only its high added value has to make you extra careful, otherwise the loss is not just a few rolls of adhesive material.
