Current packaging The printing market is growing very strongly. The printing process is only reflected on the surface of the packaging. This is because the products currently on the market are dazzling, and the shelves of supermarkets and shopping malls have evolved into a “battlefield†for fierce competition in the brand. Advanced printing technology can make the packaging of goods more vivid. It can quickly attract the attention of consumers.
Nano printing
In the printing industry, the ability to express details is one of the important criteria for judging the quality of printed products, which opens up the potential application of nanotechnology. In fact, from the drupa2012 exhibition, the so-called “nano-printing technology†displayed by Landa is actually the most eye-catching new digital printing technology at the exhibition. According to Landa, the nano press combines the flexibility of digital printing with the high efficiency and economy of traditional offset printing , which not only achieves high production efficiency, but also seamlessly integrates with the existing working environment of the printing enterprise.
Graphene conductive ink
In the smart packaging and printed electronics markets, silver paste and copper paste conductive inks have dominated, but in 2011, graphene conductive inks began to exert influence and bring new hope to the market.
Graphene conductive inks have excellent electrical conductivity and also have other advantages not found in silver paste conductive inks, such as lower prices and softer properties - materials can be wrinkled or bent without affecting performance. Because of its outstanding advantages, graphene conductive ink will become a new force in the conductive ink market.
Waterless offset printing
Waterless offset printing is an offset printing process that does not use water or a wetting system. The printing and packaging industry has always been cautious about waterless printing. But in the past two years, the waterless offset printing process has made tremendous progress through the cooperation between printer manufacturers, paper and ink manufacturers. Waterless offset printing uses silicone rubber coated plates, special inks, and temperature-controlled presses. Waterless offset printing makes it easier and more efficient to print more substrates, including paper and a variety of non-absorbent substrates.
High fidelity color control
Bright packaging colors are the most powerful promotional tool for retail products, even though consumers may not have noticed this, but it is. When a consumer is shopping, he or she usually recognizes the brand identity of the product before carefully reading the description label of the product . This fully reflects the importance of the color of the brand of the product.
Biodegradable ink
With the rising voice of green and environmental protection, sustainable development has attracted much attention in the packaging industry, and its importance has become increasingly prominent. And the printing and ink market in the packaging industry is also paying more attention to environmental protection and sustainable development. Therefore, a new generation of environmentally friendly inks and printing processes are emerging, the most representative of which is the organic biodegradable ink ClimaPrint produced by Indian ink manufacturer EnNatura.
Thermal inkjet coding
For a long time, packaging companies have to choose the printing process on their own production line: laser coding, continuous inkjet coding and thermal transfer coding. Nowadays, they have another choice, that is, thermal inkjet coding. In fact, thermal inkjet technology has been successfully used in the office field for many years, but only recently entered the industrial application field. Moreover, thermal inkjet technology in ink, drying speed and printing
The adaptability of materials is still increasing, and its appeal to packagers is increasing.
