Using UV printing technology to achieve beautiful effects

More and more cigarettes and cosmetics packaging on the market mostly have the following characteristics: trendy design, novel appearance and elegant appearance, which play a decisive role in the success of the company. Therefore, currently, cosmetics and cigarette packaging manufacturers are professional printing companies without exception. Over the years, they have been dedicated to ensuring that their technologies and equipment are always at the forefront. Among them, the application of UV printing technology is one of the most important contents.

There is no doubt that the deep processing of packaging products such as: hot stamping, laminating, embossing, and various glazing applications are common, and special effects glazing has become a trend. The rise of a variety of coating technologies is largely due to the development of technology and the configuration of the printing press. In folding carton printing of cosmetics and cigarette packs, sheet-fed offset presses have an absolute advantage. For special parts where offset printing is difficult to accomplish, screen printing or single sheet gravure printing can be used. At present, the multi-unit glazing unit has become the most basic component of a sheet-fed offset press, through which it can easily finish special effects glazing.

Diverse technologies must match with application knowledge

For packaging and printing companies, success comes from a full understanding of the needs of market segments, such as the cosmetics industry, where diversified technical equipment is the most basic condition. Today, in addition to numerous printing technologies, flexible coating units and UV devices are becoming more and more important.

It is also crucial that printers apply and master various new technologies. With the diversification of technical equipment, printing companies engaged in the production of folding cartons must not only fully grasp the application knowledge of printing and post-processing, but also the research and development capabilities and practical experience in the pre-press stage. It can be said that companies with all the above conditions are more likely to enter the cosmetics packaging field and achieve success.

Can only be achieved by UV printing

Cosmetic packaging often uses special materials. Metallic paperboard, composite paperboard and aluminum spray paper, and glazing paperboards have become more and more widely used in the field of make-up crystal packaging, showing a sustained and steady growth. New transparent composite materials have also begun to be used in plastic box packaging.

Since these substrates cannot be printed in the usual way and must achieve the desired effect through UV technology, not only more and more UV coatings are applied, but the use of UV printing inks is also more common. According to this trend, UV printing will become the standard configuration in the future, and the completion of quality-stabilized printing jobs will no longer be as lucky as before. The powerful delivery curing system is only the most basic configuration, and the intermediate unit curing is no longer a luxury equipment. These devices provide a wide application space for printing companies and can fully meet the special requirements of the cosmetic crystal industry.
