Now most people have a question, how to choose the ribbon for the sticker? What kind of ribbon can be used for what label? Next, let the Dongguan label manufacturer tell you.
1. General labels such as coated paper, glossy paper, and writing paper can use wax-based ribbons.
Wax-based ribbons are made of wax and carbon black (assumed to be black ribbons) as the main materials, as coating materials. Wax-based ribbons are economical and inexpensive ribbons, which are mainly used for printing on general paper. It is necessary to pay attention to the use of wax-based ribbons with paper. Wax-based ribbons are used for materials with a slight bump on the surface. Not suitable for products with smooth surface like mirror, such as PET material. Wax-based ribbons occupy about 70% of the market and are commonly used for printing large-sized paper labels such as wheat heads.
2. Labels such as coated paper, glossy paper, writing paper, and synthetic paper can use mixed-based carbon ribbons.
The mixed-based carbon belt is a product that uses wax and resin as the main materials as a coating material. The mixing ratio changes with the need. It is mainly used for materials with relatively smooth surfaces. Generally, products with strict surface requirements are suitable for use. For example, the label of ordinary consumable products is manifested by the advantages of combining the above two types of carbon ribbon And made.
3. PET, Asian silver paper, transparent dragon, Xiaoyinlong, glazing film and other labels use all resin ribbon.
If the printed materials must be able to resist solvents and high temperatures, etc., used in chemical product packaging, or must be high temperature resistant, used in electrical heating parts, or must be printed on special PET and other chemical products, it is recommended to use resin ribbon Because the resin material can meet the above requirements, but this kind of carbon ribbon is usually expensive, but the printing effect must still be matched with paper / printing media to reach the printing level.
