Nanjing design commemorative coin box? Numerous facts tell us that the combination of multiple printing production processes is the need to improve product quality and production efficiency. In the final analysis, it is to meet the needs of product sales and user aesthetics.
There are examples to prove: banknotes are special products that use engraving gravure printing, embossing printing, and a series of anti-counterfeiting measures such as optically variable ink on special paper. Bills and labels are an organic combination of traditional flexographic or offset printing and digital printing. In combination, the same is true for drug packaging boxes with barcodes. Individual luxury packaging highlights the texture through local processing with digital post-printing equipment after printing. In response to the production requirements for the above-mentioned combination of multiple printing processes, Italian and domestic machinery
manufacturers have launched roll-specific printing machines that integrate several processes such as concave, flexible, and glue. These machines customized according to customer requirements can also be replaced by The roller realizes the transformation between technical color groups. In this case, it is reasonable for packaging printing to gradually move from gravure printing and offset printing as the mainstay in history to hybrid printing combined with digital printing. Digital printing is rapidly penetrating into various fields with its ability to meet individual needs. Digital printing is closely linked to the development of digital technology. Digital printing is good at meeting personalized product requirements. After printing orders move to small print runs and multiple batches, Digital printing equipment has attracted more attention from manufacturing companies.
Since the global economic crisis was triggered by the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, and people have gradually become accustomed to obtaining information through Internet terminals, orders for long print runs have significantly decreased. As a result, the sales of traditional printing equipment have stagnated, and performance has been far worse than before. Although the sales of digital printing equipment are also affected by the cold wave, the technological breakthroughs and expansion of application scope of digital printing equipment are extremely clear. Compared with the fully mature traditional offset printing, small printing format and slow printing speed have always been the shortcomings of digital printing presses, which have been criticized by the industry. However, in recent years, this situation has basically been overcome, and almost all major digital equipment manufacturers have successfully launched With the B-format machine, the printing speed has been greatly improved, and the print quality has been recognized by users. It is reported that at this drupa printing exhibition, Israeli Benny & Landa will launch sheet-fed printing machines for folding cartons and printing, double-sided printing machines for commercial printing, and double-sided printing machines for commercial printing. Web printing presses for flexible packaging and cardboard printing, among which the operating speed of sheet-fed printing presses is claimed to be up to 1,000 sheets per hour, and the format is further expanded to large folio (B). The news also stated that the cost of nanometallographic (r) printing, also launched by Benny & Landa, will be only half of that of traditional metal printing. If this is true, what reason do people have not to accept the advancements in digital printing technology? Convenience and cost reduction? If the technical progress of digital printing equipment in recent years is exciting, then the wider application of digital printing in various production fields also makes people see its infinite vitality. Digital printing is extremely popular for graphic and text printing and short-run commercial printing. It is also used in short-run book printing and has been accepted by publishing houses. Digital printing is more used in labels and anti-counterfeiting printing. People have also seen it used in wallpapers and ceramic tiles. Personalized printing is not uncommon. Now digital printing has begun to stride towards printing and dyeing, and towards home decoration. I believe that with the continuous development of printers, digital printing will move into more aspects of our lives, which naturally and inevitably includes occupying Printing covers most of the packaging field. Packaging printing is the largest player in printed matter. With the popularization of the Internet, the volume of content printing and commercial advertising printing, mainly books, newspapers and periodicals, has dropped rapidly. According to data released by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, the annual packaging printing amounted to . In 2018, the total output value of packaging printing accounted for % of the total printing output value of .0 billion yuan in the country. The output value of packaging printing was . Reaching .00 billion yuan, the output value of packaging and printing is 100 million yuan, accounting for .%, which means that in the past year, packaging and printing has been growing by more than 10% every year. Therefore, packaging printing, which is closely related to people's lives, is the largest consumer of printed matter. In this case, digital printing that is connected with new scientific and technological achievements should be more used in packaging printing. This does not mean that digital printing should replace traditional processes, but that the strengths of various printing processes should be used and the path of hybrid printing should be taken. . For a long time, China's printing market has always been dominated by offset printing, followed by gravure printing, flexo printing, and silk screen printing. The latter two should account for single digits in the printing market. The sales of digital printing equipment have been Although there has been a sudden rise in 2016, according to statistics from the General Administration, it is only about 10%. (Considering the large number of digital printing production capabilities that have not obtained digital printing licenses, the public believes that the market share of digital printing should be in the total printing volume. %), far lower than the international market average of %. Of course, in recent years, with the increasing pressure on environmental protection, the volume of flexographic printing and digital printing using water-based inks, which have relatively little negative impact on the environment, has increased. The situation of packaging printing production capacity is generally consistent with the above-mentioned fundamentals. The only difference is that the proportion of long-run packaging printing using the gravure printing process is larger, because the relatively expensive gravure plate making cost can be easily shared in large-volume production. It is precisely because of the extensive use of gravure printing and offset printing in packaging and printing production that the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan for Air Pollution Control in Key Areas" drafted and issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection in 2016 included the packaging and printing industry in the list of key control plans. The "Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution" issued by the State Council in 2016 clearly stated that "the petrochemical, surface coating, packaging and printing industries will trial C pollution charges and implement comprehensive management". The capital Beijing, which is in the hardest-hit haze area, is just the first to bear the brunt. That’s all. There is no doubt that there is a problem of emission of C and other pollutants in printing production, which has a certain negative impact on the environment. Printing companies should also make efforts to protect the environment. However, under the relatively difficult economic situation, in terms of governance and punishment, In terms of relationships, matters such as monitoring methods and charging standards are more operational and more realistic. Enterprises may be more accepting subjectively and be more proactive in their work. What's more, existing environmental treatment plans require companies to make a considerable upfront investment. The cost of replacing the carbon core every year using an activated carbon adsorption solution is also a considerable expense. Some environmental protection agencies have made it clear that what they can do now is: the cost of treatment is not greater than the sewage charges that companies that have not done the treatment need to pay to the government. It can be seen that it is not easy to reduce this part of the expenditure as much as possible. Of course, when traditional printing is facing increasing pressure from environmental protection requirements, the promotion and application of digital printing in the packaging field may be a good thing. However, digital printing equipment and consumables that are highly dependent on external sources will not be used as long as their high production costs do not cause people to worry. The perceived decrease will objectively increase the difficulty of further promotion and application. This is why in Germany, which has a population of only tens of millions, "Fuji's personal picture album processing center in Germany produces thousands of beautifully bound hardcover picture albums every day, and may exceed 10,000 copies during the Christmas peak season". This is why in China, where hundreds of millions of people travel overseas every year, there are very few similar albums. The relationship between quantity and price is an issue that suppliers need to think about. Mobilizing domestic technical forces and taking the road of localization of digital printing equipment and consumables is an issue that relevant government departments should seriously consider. Otherwise, in this field, we will not be able to compete with the international advanced level. The gap will become wider and wider, and the right to speak will become smaller and smaller. Meeting individual needs will be the next stage of product development. Excellent print quality and relatively low production costs determine that offset printing or gravure printing production processes are widely used in packaging and printing production so far. Moreover, even if environmental protection is determined In order to collect C emission fees and companies need to invest in governance costs, this will still be the case for a foreseeable long period of time, because application is the basic selection principle. <=_
