Packaging customization is developing rapidly, who doesn’t know about UV DTF Stickers? So, What is the charm of the popular UV stickers? What is the difference between it and traditional stickers?
01. Differences in technology
The process steps of traditional labeling are many and cumbersome. A small label requires a full 7 steps to complete, which requires more manpower and time to make.
The first step is to design the printing film and printing plate, prepare the main materials and auxiliary materials, and mix the adhesive and printing ink in advance; the second step is to apply release silicone oil on the surface of high-density materials; the third step is to print the prepared adhesive; the fourth step is to print the prepared protective base oil; the fifth step is to print the prepared inks of various colors; the sixth step is to print UV protective varnish, which is dried by UV ultraviolet light; the seventh step is to cover the high-viscosity protective film, and finally cut the finished product.
In comparison, the process of crystal label is simpler and easier to use.
No need to make plates or discharge waste. You can start the machine as long as you confirm the pattern style. The UV roll-to-roll printer starts with one button. No manual operation is required during the process. You can print an A3-sized sample in a few minutes.
Moreover, the crystal label printer is small and occupies a small area. This new machine just fills the market gap for quick and convenient printing in the advertising industry.
02. The difference in effect
The traditional labeling process is limited by the process, the color is relatively dim, it is not waterproof and easy to fade, and it does not support printing special complex styles.
The crystal label supports new processes such as relief, varnish, and complex pattern printing. It has a strong three-dimensional sense and is beautiful and atmospheric. It can increase the overall beauty when it is pasted on the surface of the object. The finished product has a good release effect, is easy to transfer, does not fade, and is scratch-resistant and wear-resistant.
03. The difference in the number of UV DTF prints
Because traditional labeling requires plate making and mold opening, it generally has higher requirements for the number of prints, which is suitable for manufacturers with large-volume needs.
Besides, the crystal label has no minimum order quantity limit, and it starts with one print, which can really print as you want, and is more suitable for the public.
From the above three differences, it can be seen that UV stickers are an upgraded version of traditional labeling technology, filling the previous market demand for convenience, manufacturing timeliness and good experience in the labeling market.
