1. High speed and high quality are the development direction of label printing, and rotary printing will become the main production mode of label printing. In Europe, America, Japan and other countries and regions, flat and round flat label printing equipment has been basically eliminated. Moreover, with the localization of rotary label printing equipment, its price may be reduced to the level of imported flat label printing machines, which will promote the expansion of the market of rotary label printing machines.
2. The flat, convex, flexible and screen combined printing machine is more ideal: due to the diversified requirements of label products in beauty, anti-counterfeiting and personalization, it is the best choice to integrate the advantages of various printing methods to reflect the printing effect. Therefore, there will be more and more designs and applications of combined printers with flat, convex, flexible and screen functions, which is also the development direction of label equipment manufacturers.
3. The connection post-press processing is further expanded: the connection post-press processing unit includes circular knife die cutting, punching, indentation, hot stamping, laminating, embossing, compounding, gluing, folding, sheet cutting, slitting, etc., and the connection post-press processing unit can be flexibly combined to provide a variety of high-speed, roll-type full-automatic post-press processing methods.
4. New tags enrich the tag market: the development of radio frequency tags and in-mold tags will promote the rise of related markets, such as the demand for materials and equipment. In addition, there are many application fields that can't be ignored, such as highway tickets, plane boarding passes, admission tickets and visiting vouchers, which are all label products and should be paid attention to by printing enterprises.
5. Digital printing joins the ranks of label printing: With the continuous maturity of digital printing technology and the gradual expansion of application fields, especially the appearance of post-press processing units matching with digital printing systems, the development of digital label printing machines is just around the corner.
6. Special technology is the supplement of label printing: screen printing can show special effects, such as three-dimensional effect and matte effect, which plays a role in improving the label grade, but it is often ignored. The appearance of high-tech such as holographic positioning hot stamping, cold stamping and laser die cutting has also brought more ideas to printing houses and equipment manufacturers.
