Great discussion on printing technology-cold ironing technology

I. Introduction

In recent years, due to the increasing importance of the field of printing and packaging, unique and beautiful design and processing techniques have gradually become part of commodity packaging. Hot stamping technology is closely related to the packaging market. The packaging design using high-quality bronzing foil makes the products bright and beautiful, and enhances the packaging quality and value. Early hot stamping foil technology is mainly hot stamping foil. Due to the rapid development of cold stamping technology in recent years, it can be applied to flexographic printing, lithographic printing, etc. Cold stamping technology is different from hot stamping technology, which requires complicated equipment and fast production speed, which is in line with the high-speed development trend of the packaging industry in the future. In terms of product anti-counterfeiting, consumers are allowed to directly visually identify the authenticity before purchase, to prevent packaging from being reused by counterfeiters to improve anti-counterfeiting and commercial benefits. According to the packaging and printing and paper products processing machinery industry, one-third of the annual turnover of the global printing market is created by the packaging and printing industry. The annual turnover can reach as high as 250 billion US dollars in the market, and it is still growing. The annual turnover of global book printing is only 10 billion US dollars. The total value of packaging printing and processing in North America reached US $ 68 billion in 2004 and is expected to increase to US $ 83 billion by 2009.

In the fierce market competition, in order to increase the added value of products, more effective packaging anti-counterfeiting, more and more packaging products use hot stamping technology. The cold stamping technology does not need to use heated metal printing plates, but uses the method of printing adhesive to transfer the metal foil. The cold stamping technology has low cost, energy saving, and high production efficiency. It is a new technology that meets the needs of the processing market in the future.

Second, the development and current situation of cold ironing technology

Cold bronzing technology is the result of new technology in the printing process in the European and American printing industry in recent years. Unlike traditional hot stamping technology, cold bronzing technology uses a completely new concept to transfer electrochemical foil from cold pressing technology, which not only solves many printing bronzing The transfer problem that the industry used to be difficult to solve in the past, and the most important thing is to save energy and avoid pollution to the environment in the process of making metal plates (Guan Shujuan, 2004). When cold bronzing technology is used to print relatively easy-to-dry plastic materials on a narrow-web rotary press, only additional equipment can be processed on the original equipment (Image Printing Products International, IPPI, 2001). DURPA2004 KURZ in Germany uses cold foil to stamp beverage bottle labels on Nilpeter's narrow-format printing machines (KURZ, 2004). At the same time, the R-700 printer of MAN Roland (MANRoland) is also equipped with a cold foil system. Won the prestigious InterTech Technical Award 2006 (MANRoland, 2006) awarded by PIA / GATF (American Printing Industry Association / Printing Technology Committee). And some domestic manufacturers like Lianyi Machinery have also designed cold stamping equipment on the LLR-300 full-rotation intermittent trademark printing machine.

In the field of cold foil foil manufacturing, the current major global vacuum evaporation competitors include the world's largest manufacturer Kurz of Germany, ITW Group and CRL of the United States, APL of the United Kingdom, NaKai and Oike of Japan, and Kolon of South Korea. Since Toyo Vacuum Gold Plating provided technology in Japan in 1968 and invested 49% in Toyo Vacuum Gold Plating, which was established in Minxiong Township, Chiayi County. Since its development, there have been more than 10 businesses, such as Ruhe Vacuum Gold Plating and Nongbao Enterprises established earlier, Taiwan Vacuum The coating, Mingsong vacuum gold plating, and Dairyong have been established for a similar period of time, and the domestic output value has grown steadily every year. In recent years, it has reached 4 billion yuan. The market development has gradually been mainly exported. Among the industry, Dairy Technology has a relatively large scale. Its bronzing film sales account for about 3% of the global market, and its main customer is Guangqun Laser (accounting for 45.84% of Dairy ’s combined sales in 2005). In the proportion of the parent company's revenue in the year, general laser hot stamping and cold foil accounted for 48%.
