Analysis of Perfect Hanging Print Production Process

Tag can be seen everywhere in daily life. Regardless of whether it is clothing or luggage products, the tag is just like the image spokesperson of the product. It serves as a guide and advertising media and many other roles. The role can not be underestimated. Especially in the increasingly fiercely competitive apparel industry, if one wants to stand out from the competition, one button and one thread must be perfect. The clothing tag, this small accessory, not only displays the raw material, price, etc., but more importantly, its quality is related to a business-to-consumer service attitude. High-quality clothing tags will make good clothes stand out. Therefore, the high quality of tag making is very necessary.

In addition to the materials used, the selection of printing and processing methods used by the tag production also affects the quality of the tag. Therefore, the selection of the tag production process and production equipment is also crucial.

Below, we first come to understand the general steps of clothing tag production:

Tag design - Proofing - Out of the film - Printing on the machine - Stamping hot silver - Film - Die cutting

The above-mentioned steps have all been developed quite maturely, and there is no need for detailed descriptions. We only give some brief introductions to the printing and die-cutting processes that have been greatly improved or developed in recent years.

For hangtag printing, the traditional printing methods can not fully meet the printing needs of today's high information content tag. Although many fixed tag information still use the traditional preprinting method, some important information concerning the product, such as price, bar code, and other variable information, need to be printed digitally.

The material of the tag is various. The most common applications are cardboard, copperplate paper, PVC, etc. The weight of these materials is relatively large, often more than 200gsm. The use of thermal laser printers can not print such heavy materials, and spray The quality of ink can not meet the printing requirements of exquisite tag. After market screening and trials, some industry experts have found that laser printers using cold temperature technology can well meet the high quality printing requirements for heavy labels, such as the ST1865R medium-speed continuous-paper black-and-white laser printers, which have become more mature in the hangtag market. Market awareness and recognition are also gradually increasing.

SML Dongguan Dongxing Trademark Embroidery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "SML") is a model customer of ST1865R. SML is a printing company specializing in apparel tag printing business. It is a member of the SML Group, one of the three largest trademark manufacturers in the world. It is ESPRIT, GAP, POLO, M&S, AEO, NIKE, Li Ning, Pure, Metersbonwe, GIORDANO, Goldlion, Dance with Wolves, Rimba and many other well-known clothing brand suppliers. In SML, several ST1865Rs played a major role in production.

The ST1865R's unique linear paper path design enables stable and efficient handling of heavy tag materials used in SML. The ST1865R has a nominal print weight of 60-216 gsm, and its application of cold temperature flash curing technology makes it easy to print large 350gm tags.

The perfect handling of heavy materials is already very valuable, but the print quality of variable information must be guaranteed. The ST1865R, which employs a cold temperature-curing technology, not only handles a very wide range of substrates, but also guarantees high-quality adhesion of printed information, thereby ensuring the high quality of tag printing, and earning a double harvest of profit and reputation for SML.

In addition, in today’s era of “environmental protection and health first”, ST1865R is more professional and humanized. It is all made of environmentally-friendly materials, has passed Rosh certification, and has stable and low-noise operation, which greatly protects the safety and environmental protection of the production environment and ensures the physical and mental health of the operators.

The CS-9018 cutting/stacking system has been independently developed to handle continuous paper bills and ticket printing. It can easily complete the pre-printed ticket line for pressing, cutting, and orderly stacking. The job speed is 188,000 sheets/hour. The width of the processed paper is 6-18 inches. The width of finished products is 1-3.5 inches and the length is 2-4.5 inches. CS-9018 and ST1865R work online with the following features:

→ Completion with print online, reducing manual intervention;

→ Increase the degree of automation, production efficiency is higher;

→ Single tag ordering can be achieved;

→Tag cutting is more beautiful (double-knife cutting);

→ You can cut a tag with a minimum width of 1 inch.

The perfect match between the ST1865R and the CS9018 can not only simplify the work flow and increase the work efficiency for the vast number of tag makers, but also save a lot of labor and production costs. Therefore, once this plan was launched, it attracted a lot of attention and was highly praised by some authoritative people in the industry.

Although the tag is small, it is a link between the product and the consumer. A well-made tag can bring good market response, earn reputation for the company, and then play a positive role in the promotion of the product. Therefore, the production of hangtags is of utmost importance. Selecting suitable printing and post-processing equipment will enable us to complete the production of hangtags with minimum effort and maximize the efficiency of our production.
