The advantages and technical essentials of napkin flexo printing (on)

The progress of flexo printing water-based ink technology has made the color of napkin prints more colorful. At the same time, it has laid a foundation for flexographic printing plants to enter the napkin printing market. Napkin printing has become a new investment hot spot in southern China and the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. From this we will focus on the napkin flexo printing.

Napkin printing is very promising

Today, in many places in life, eyes always jump out of those colorful napkins. As long as you visit some big hotels, you will find that the napkin printing market has great potential. These hotels are aware of the importance of publicity on napkins. Keep an eye out for the information printed on the napkin and you will find content such as nutrition instructions and company celebrations.

Of course, you will also find a new consumer fashion: consumers want napkins to be part of the beautification of home life, hoping to show more colors in the kitchen, and of course they also hope that the napkins used at the banquet can add more to the party. More fun.

Looking at the best-selling napkins in the supermarket, there is an interesting phenomenon. The more colorful the napkins are printed, the better the napkins are sold. Some napkin manufacturers have tasted the sweetness of flexographic printing technology. The napkins they produce are brightly colored and have visual impact on the shelves, stimulating consumers' desire to buy, and sales are increasing. Flexo printing onto the napkin printing stage

Napkin printing was originally printed with grease plow ink. Its characteristics are good on-machine, but the smell of printed products is particularly large. Some napkin printing companies that use letterpress technology try to print napkins using glycol ink (washable) to eliminate the odor of printed products. However, this process encounters some difficulties, such as ink crepe paper appearing when the print product encounters ethylene glycol. In addition, the on-board adaptability of this ink is not ideal.

Some forward-thinking printing companies realized that solving customer complaints that paper napkins have a large odor is based on the use of flexographic printing water-based inks. Oxidation of grease-type inks does not occur on flexo-printing water-based inks. The oil has no residual odor.

The expansion of the napkin market reflects the changes in the napkin printing process over the past 10 years. Ink technology has made great progress. Napkin printing companies (previously using embossed grease inks) have turned to more suitable flexographic printing water-based inks. At the same time, napkin printing companies have also felt that pigment inks outperform dye-based inks. .

In this context, flexo printing technology has entered the stage of napkin printing.
