Self-adhesive labels usually appear on the surface of items, such as product instructions, barcodes, price tags, special offer labels, etc. Since there is a layer of adhesive on the back of the self-adhesive label, it is difficult to remove it when applying it. It is very convenient. More and more stores and shopping malls use self-adhesive labels for modification, promotion, etc. So how are self-adhesive labels printed??

The first step in self-adhesive label printing The first step is to type and edit according to the content you need, usually using CORELDRAW or AI software, because the pictures produced by this software are vector pictures, even if they are printed in small fonts, they will be very clear. If you use PS software production will form a pattern, and printing it will affect its effect. The correct use of the software is also the primary focus of self-adhesive label printing. ?

After the production software is determined, the size must also be considered, because large-volume self-adhesive printing will reduce costs, but the size also needs to be considered. At this time, plate making will be involved, because different Printing machines print in different sizes, such as 8K, 4K, 2K, etc. If the selected size is just larger than the fixed size of the printing machine, you need to use a larger size to print, or if it is much smaller than the fixed printing size. In both cases, a large amount of blank space will be left during printing, resulting in a waste of printing, which not only wastes paper but also costs more money. If you don't understand, you can go to a specialized printing factory for consultation or let others design and make the plate. ?

At the time of design, some self-adhesive printing is in black and white, and some are in color. In printing, it is usually called four-color. Because the printing process is different for different colors, in When the plate is made, start producing the film. For black and white, you only need to make one plate, commonly known as film. It can be printed in one time and the cost is relatively much lower. However, four-color self-adhesive label printing is done in The colors are already designed during the design. When the film is released, you need to press C, M, Y, K, that is, one plate each of the four basic colors of black, red, yellow, and blue. During the printing process, it also needs four printings. The first printing After the first printing is good, the other three times are called overprinting. They need to match the position of the first printing before the designed color can be printed. If the overprinting is not good, there will be many ghost images, which will affect the visual appearance of the self-adhesive label. The effect is very good, so four-color printing requires very high printing technology, and of course the price is relatively much higher.

After printing, it is cut according to the designed size. Some are regular circles and rectangles, and some are special-shaped self-adhesive labels. At this time, common shapes are cut directly. Just cut it. If you encounter special shapes, you need to customize the cutter in advance, and then make the cutter according to the final shape of the printed matter before cutting. In the process of self-adhesive label printing, the more processes involved, the higher the price. The more expensive it is, but unique design works can better attract customers' attention and achieve publicity effects.
