Colored mesh overprint of packaging containers (3)

Color overprinting: Printing methods that are beneficial to business can meet customer requirements is a major advantage of color overprinting, in addition there are several advantages favored by everyone: 1. Cost Savings If the containers can be printed on the press, they can be loaded and unloaded and delivered to the customer, which can greatly help save material and labor. Because printing labels separately or using thermal transfer printing labels, and then paste them to the container, adding many intermediate steps, it will waste time and materials, which is a big expense. 2. Delivery time If you have a screen printing capability in your own factory without the need to outsource the use of color overprint labels, you will deliver the finished product to the customer as quickly as possible. By printing directly on the container, you can get rid of the dependence on the label supplier. For container manufacturers or their printers, direct printing offers greater freedom of production, especially when faced with urgently needed tasks. 3. Durable properties Screen prints and the images on them are durable. 4. Beautifully printed on the container to obtain a better color and feel, no obvious visible edge of the label. Even "unlabeled" labels can convince people that they are not printed on the container but are inherent in the container. 5. High inventory efficiency When you choose to print directly out of the label supplier or thermal transfer, there is no longer a need to keep a large inventory of labels. This will reduce the waste caused by label damage or expiration, save expensive inventory space, and increase your production flexibility. In order to be invincible in the industry, the resilience must be able to grasp the customer's indefinite demand and often have to step into the quagmire of reducing profits in the price war. The basic conditions for investment in the container packaging industry are very easy to achieve, but if you want to get more orders, there is no competitive advantage that cannot be achieved. So how can we gain a competitive advantage in a mature industry? This can be done by differentiating or increasing the value of the product. Direct color registration is a very desirable method. The range of tools required for color overprinting of containers is very wide, and the practice of color overprinting has also proven this method and its reproducibility to be very successful. The term "color overprinting" can be viewed from different perspectives. It is not only the printing performed through the color separation sheet is called color overprinting. In a broader sense, the process of printing multiple colors together can be Called color overprint. Color overlay images can contain two, three, four, or more colors (see Figure 2). But in either case, many small halftone dots are printed in a very small space, and their blending gives the eye a complex color feel. Figure 2: Different color overprinting colors does not necessarily mean "four-color overprinting." The halftone image may consist of less than four colors or more than four colors. This example shows a simulated effect using only yellow, magenta, and cyan without black. If you insist on re-experimenting, it's okay, but the process of mixing color overprints is complicated. But you do not need to understand the details of all the steps, because the best suppliers can help you get the desired results. Most customers who have done color overprints in other markets and printers who color overprint planar objects are surprised to see the effect of color printing on irregular surface objects. But to get a successful color overlay, you must take a few details. To obtain good color overprint products, the issues of concern include a series of control factors. For the sake of simplicity, the following six aspects are summarized: Film parameters; 2. Web Edition; 3. Template; 4. Exposure; 5. Screen printing with screen printing; 6. Machine features. These features are described in the following consecutive articles, so stay tuned.
