Invisible printing technology for anti-counterfeit labels was successfully developed

Shanghai Textile Research Institute recently developed the latest textile stealth printing technology. According to reports, this invisible printing method has been successfully used in anti-counterfeit labels and applied for national invention patents.

Invisible printing is a new type of special printing technology. It uses the inconsistency of phase state of polymer materials at different temperatures to print fabrics. The fabrics printed by special printing methods do not reveal the printing patterns in the general form, but only in the water. The print pattern appears only in certain circumstances. Umbrellas, awnings, and raincoats made with this particular printing method can show interesting patterns in the rain, and have characteristics of high fastness that can be hidden for tens of thousands of times.

With the continuous improvement of living standards, people's demand for clothing and textiles is no longer just warm, beautiful, but also the pursuit of fashion, personalized, high-tech. Shanghai apparel and textile industry has also responded to this trend, gradually changing from "better-saturation" to "fashionable" and "scientific and technological." Under this circumstance, an enterprise under the Shanghai Garment Import and Export Company recently introduced advanced three-dimensional pattern technology. Using this technology, the three-dimensional pattern produced is extremely strong. In addition to mechanical manufacturing, it can also adopt special “drawing guns”. The artist manually draws a picture or text on the spot. Interested consumers can also personally “sword” designs and draw fashion apparel that suits their personality characteristics, fully highlighting the new charm of fashion DIY.
