Unique requirements for smart label printing

A new darling in the label field, SmartLabel, has quietly appeared. In multimedia, the information industry, electronics industry, smart cards, and smart label industries have caused great buzz. Compared to contactless cards, it can be informally called "IC paper."
The core of the smart label is the radio frequency circuit containing the IC chip, which has a thin (0.08 to 0.12mm) form, soft (optionally twisted, bent), and variable (up to a maximum of 32 pages and a minimum of only a few millimeters square). The characteristics of the use of "three no", that is: no connection, no power supply. No contact is required, and rich changes can also be made at RF frequencies. Smart labels provide new tools for anti-counterfeiting and logistics management.
What is the difference between smart label printing and label printing? From the definition of smart labels, you can know: Smart - RF circuits made up of chips and antennas; Labels - Label printing processes make RF circuits commercially available. From the printer's point of view, the emergence of smart labels will bring higher gold content to traditional label printing.
The chip layer can be packaged and printed with materials such as paper, PE, PET, and even textiles to make self-adhesive stickers. paper card. The label or other type of label, the chip is the key to the smart label, determined by its special structure, can not afford the pressure of the printing press, so, in addition to inkjet printing, it is generally used to print the surface layer, and then composite with the chip layer Die-cutting process. In smart label printing, there are unique requirements for some processes.
1. High yield
Since the value of the smart label itself is many times higher than that of an ordinary printed label, it brings high profits to the enterprise, and the high yield of printed matter is particularly important. In particular, many products require multi-color UV ink printing. Most of the labels used for glazing and gluing are printed in roll-to-roll or no-interface printing (Tunghua). Due to the large number of processing operations, the selection of finished products has also become more difficult.
2. Thick paper printing
Can the equipment handle jams up to 350g/m2 in cardboard processing? Can the tension of the tape be kept stable in the jam printing and minimize the cumulative overlay error? If each frame is overprinted, However, there is a large error in the spacing between the screens, which also causes troubles for the compounding and the cutting process after the smart label is printed.
3. The key process in the processing of smart labels for composite processing is compounding, which not only requires that the size between each label does not change due to the tension change, but also that for film materials, the degree of increase in label spacing due to tensile deformation must be considered and appropriate Adjustment.
At present, China's label printing technology has a certain level, there are many beautifully designed and high-quality products, for smart labels, just use ordinary labels to make it a beautiful coat, and there is no special place. There is no lack of experienced companies in the trademark printing industry. If your company is known for its high-quality label printing, then there is no problem in providing a “cloth” for smart labels. Only its high added value has to make you extra careful, otherwise the loss is not a few rolls of adhesive material.
