How to reduce the cost of label printing

<

1. Because we do not understand the customer's requirements on the performance of the printed matter, high-grade materials are used in production, but in fact, as long as the medium and low-grade materials are selected, we can meet the customer's requirements.

2. Since the customer does not understand the performance of the material, he blindly makes some rigid requirements to the label manufacturer (such as the material number according to foreign regulations, etc.), resulting in unnecessary cost increase.

For the first case, business personnel should strengthen communication with customers, understand customers' requirements on product performance and other aspects, and allow experienced technical personnel to check to avoid overkill.

For the second case, printing companies should pay more attention to coordination with customers and persuade customers through appropriate methods, which may encounter a lot of resistance, but it is very important to reduce costs.

In addition, in the absence of special requirements, some label printing manufacturers choose "joint venture materials" or ISO certified material departments. The reason they do this is mainly considering that these materials have better performance, can meet the requirements of label printing, it is easier to reach agreement with customers, and it is simple and convenient to choose. But to better achieve the purpose of reducing costs, when printing labels of different grades, different grades of ink, paper, stickers and other materials can be used to effectively control the waste in the label printing process.

Reasonable choice of printing method

Faced with different printing methods, in order to reduce equipment debugging time, improve production efficiency, and to a certain extent improve product quality, to meet customer needs, label printing manufacturers often according to different grades and different batches of live parts, products After categorizing, choose different printing methods for printing.

At present, China's label printing is mainly based on relief printing, offset printing and screen printing, while developed countries such as Europe and America mainly use flexographic printing. With the continuous improvement of the domestic platemaking level and the continuous reduction of prices, the overall cost of flexographic printing will be greatly reduced, and its low input and high output characteristics will attract more and more label manufacturers. In the long run, flexographic printing will be the first choice for packaging printing, especially label printing. In the field of label printing, combination printing is more and more optimistic. One of the reasons is that it can complete printing and post-processing at one time, which not only improves production efficiency, but also greatly reduces the cost of label printing.

In addition, when the printing method is selected, if the machine adjustment method is proper, it can also reduce the waste of materials and the loss of machines. For example, when printing high-end labels, first use ordinary, cheaper special paper to debug the machine, and then replace it with better materials for printing; when debugging the machine, start at medium speed, and then speed up the machine after debugging; proofreading Calibrate the color at the same time as the pressure of the plate, and then correct the color after these two steps are completed.

Pay attention to details after die-cutting

When using offline die cutting, the phenomenon of inaccurate die cutting often occurs, and even a large number of labels may be scrapped, and it must also be shut down for debugging. If the inspector does not master the die-cutting standard, it will increase the printing cost.

In addition, in the printing of some self-adhesive labels (especially some small-area labels), the adhesion of waste materials often occurs during die cutting and waste disposal. This is also one of the main reasons for the waste of printed materials. Suggestions can be taken as follows.

1. When designing the label, the area of ​​the label can be appropriately increased, and the shape of the label should not be too complicated, and a reasonable arrangement method should be adopted.

2. Appropriately reduce the temperature of the self-adhesive material storage workshop and printing workshop to prevent the viscosity of the adhesive on the paper of the self-adhesive material from decreasing.

3. The die-cutting plate can also be re-made by replacing the die-cutting blade that has been used for a long time and the blade is dull, or the sponge sheet is stuck between the die-cutting plate and the blade.

4. Adjust the pressure of the die-cutting plate through the method of lower die-cutting the bottom plate to make the pressure of the die-cutting plate uniform and the depth of the die-cutting indentation consistent.

5. Increase the speed of die cutting and waste discharge.

Scientific management and strict control

In order to reduce the cost of printing labels, in addition to more effort in each process, it should also actively implement standardized and digital management. While introducing new equipment, new processes and new technologies, domestic label printing companies should also establish new management concepts and establish a new management system to improve the quality of label production and reduce costs in a comprehensive manner with scientific and standardized management. In this regard, Tianjin Lindeco Industrial Co., Ltd. provides us with a good example. Figure 1 shows the company's current management model. According to the relevant person in charge, this management model has played a great role in reducing production costs, especially for the management of new products.

Identify product requirements, review product requirements, prepare production, formulate production plans, produce products, implement finished product inspections, deliver products

In short, a scientific management model can organically combine the various process steps of label production to achieve overall control of the production process.

Conclusion

Reducing the cost of label printing is a global task, and the key is to rationally plan in the pre-press design stage, taking into account the process characteristics of each process, and to control the label printing as a whole through scientific management, so as to ensure Quality while reducing waste.

Throughout the entire production process, the coordination between label printing manufacturers and customers has been running through it, affecting every aspect of label printing. For customers who make clear requirements, label printing manufacturers should coordinate the relationship between production and customer requirements as much as possible according to the actual situation of the factory, and minimize the cost of label printing.
