Product parameters and production process of stickers
Product parameters
1. Size specifications: There are various conventional sizes available, such as 3cm × 3cm, 5cm × 5cm, 8cm × 10cm, 10cm × 15cm, etc. At the same time, it supports customizing any special size according to customers' specific needs, whether it is small decorative stickers or large advertising stickers, which can meet various scenarios such as gift packaging, product labeling, wall decoration, etc.
2. Material parameters
Basic materials: including copperplate paper (smooth surface, bright printing colors, suitable for making various decorative stickers), kraft paper (retro texture, environmentally friendly and durable, suitable for artistic style scenes such as accounts and packaging), transparent PET film (high transparency, waterproof and moisture-proof, commonly used for stickers on electronic products, glass and other surfaces), matte PVC film (good weather resistance, not easy to fade, suitable for outdoor advertising,
car stickers, etc.), laser paper (with brilliant laser effect, high glossiness, can increase the visual appeal of stickers, mostly used for gift packaging, holiday decoration, etc.).
Thickness specifications: Different materials have different thicknesses. Copperplate paper and kraft paper usually have a thickness of 80g-120g, while PET film and PVC film generally have a thickness of 0.1mm-0.2mm. The appropriate thickness can be selected according to actual usage needs.
1. Viscosity parameters: According to the usage scenario and requirements, it is divided into three viscosity levels: low viscosity, medium viscosity, and high viscosity. Low adhesive paper is suitable for scenarios that require temporary pasting and are easy to peel off, such as exhibition signs, temporary
labels, etc; Medium adhesive paper is widely used and suitable for most smooth surfaces, such as paper, plastic, metal, etc., such as product price tags,
Notebook decorations, etc; High adhesive paper has strong adhesion and is suitable for scenarios that require long-term and firm adhesion, such as car body stickers, outdoor equipment labels, etc.
2. Pattern and color: Supports full-color printing, can accurately reproduce various complex patterns and colors, high color saturation, and is not easy to fade. We can print according to the design drafts provided by customers, and also provide design services to meet different pattern requirements. Whether it is cartoon images, corporate logos, or landscape patterns, they can be presented clearly.
3. Shape parameters: In addition to conventional square, circular, and rectangular shapes, it can also be cut into irregular shapes to customize unique shapes based on the outline of the pattern, such as animal shapes, flower shapes, letter shapes, etc., making stickers more personalized and interesting.
Craftsmanship
1. Material pretreatment: Firstly, cut the selected base material to a size suitable for printing and processing. At the same time, check whether the material surface is flat and clean to ensure the quality of subsequent printing and processing. For some materials, such as PVC film, surface treatment is also required to enhance their printing adhesion.
2. Printing process: Various printing methods such as digital printing, screen printing, and offset printing are used. Digital printing is suitable for small batches and personalized stickers, with fast printing speed and high color reproduction; Screen printing is suitable for large-area, single color or spot color printing, with strong ink adhesion and good wear resistance; Offset printing is suitable for large-scale, high-precision printing, ensuring the clarity of patterns and the stability of colors. Strictly control the amount of ink and printing pressure during the printing process to ensure clear patterns and uniform colors.
3. Die cutting process: Make corresponding die cutting plates according to the shape requirements of the stickers, and place the
Printed materials on the die cutting machine for cutting. High die-cutting accuracy ensures that the shape of the
Sticker is neat and the edges are smooth without burrs. For irregular stickers, die-cutting technology can accurately cut them according to the outline of the pattern, making the sticker shape more exquisite.
4. Film coating process: Some stickers will undergo film coating treatment, which can be selected as bright film or matte film. Bright film can make the surface of stickers shiny and the colors more vivid, while enhancing the waterproof and wear-resistant performance of stickers; Matte film gives the surface of the sticker a soft matte effect, with a good texture, suitable for some stickers with retro style or requiring low-key texture. When laminating, ensure that the film is tightly adhered to the surface of the sticker, without bubbles or wrinkles.
5. Die cutting and waste disposal: After die cutting is completed, excess material (waste) around the sticker needs to be removed, and this process is called waste disposal. The discarded stickers are neater, easier to use and package. For rolled stickers, they will also undergo rewinding after being disposed of, which facilitates subsequent storage and use.
6. Quality inspection: Conduct a comprehensive quality inspection on the finished stickers, checking whether the size of the stickers meets the requirements, whether the patterns are clear and complete, whether the colors are accurate, whether the adhesion meets the standards, and whether the edges are smooth. Ensure that every batch of stickers meets quality standards and provide customers with high-quality products.
