The prepress technology printing methods for labels are subject to changes in quality and cost, and the quality of the images on higher-level labels is of higher quality. The global trade trend has brought people a challenge, which means that if the original production structure system is not changed It is very difficult to maintain the original profit and share allocation.
Despite the obstacles, network buying has been regarded as an important opportunity by authorities. More and more manufacturers use self-developed or third-party network tools to complete production. Simple silk screen templates can handle a variety of different products, prices, and labels that require electronic data processing (EDP). As a result, many manufacturers shifted the focus of their work to the data flow of controlling electronic prepress, CTP or CTF (COMPUTER-TO-FILM) technology.
Some trademark holders and many retailers also hope to improve their digital method in their supply chain management. In the past, people used more small-volume ordering methods at any time, and now the improvement of the supply chain forces suppliers to adapt to the new The system, which will create a powerful market for color digital label printers, some large label users even have their own factory's data label production equipment.
For the actual production of the label, offset printing is still the main production method. Sheet-fed printing and a small number of rotary printing methods are used to produce the label of glue. Flexographic printing will increase its share in the production process of roll labels. Taking into account the quality and cost factors, some print production methods have changed from rotary embossing to flexo printing. This also explains why more people are now happy to use UV flexo printing. Compared with other printing methods, flexo printing has a finer screen number, narrower dot gain, and quality close to offset printing. It is these reasons that determine the market position of flexo printing.
The combination of UV circular screen and bronzing technology further enhances the image quality in advanced label printing. The same reason has given rise to the tendency of web offset printing, especially in the investment of high-end printers with large demand. Another obvious trend is the development of wide-format printing presses with a platform-type configuration, which has been enhanced. The interaction between printing and processing units. The resulting multi-function printing press has the additional function of printing flexible packages and small paper boxes.
Non-paper-based materials will become the mainstream of label materials. A recent set of figures from the European Sticker Manufacturers Association (EPSMA) shows that in 1999, the sticker market grew from 217 million square meters to 3.548 billion square meters, including 2.599 billion. Square meters of web and 264 million square meters of single paper, while the reel material of other materials grew to 580 million square meters (16% of the total). Other leaflets were cut to 103 million square meters.
EPSMA's statistics come from its members and reflect market changes between regions. For example, sales in Scandinavia only grew by 3.4 percentage points, while in southern Europe, such as France, Italy and Spain, the average growth rate exceeded 6.8%, and Eastern countries such as the Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, etc. claimed that they were self-adhesive. Consumption increased by 12.6%. As people expect, the growth rate of plastic film can reach 13.2%, which is twice the growth rate of the paper roll. In Europe, all growth in the label industry is based on non-paper-based materials, generally made of glass or plastic as a carrier, suitable for cosmetics or advanced beverages. On the contrary, the market share of other leaflets fell by four percentage points. These figures reflect the impact of digital printing on the market for wide vinyl materials, not the paper market. Uncoated paper production continues to grow, thanks in large part to the growing demand for die-cut labels for non-pressure copy/printers in offices or home offices. In addition, blank labels or partially printed computer/EDP labels, related products used in variable data printing, and on-line operations or as a post-press operation are also growing.
The fluctuation of raw material prices has promoted the development of labeling technology. In addition, the recent huge increase in raw material prices has created a sharp contrast with the situation in 1998. In 1998, due to the oversupply, fierce competition, and economic downturn in Northern Europe, the prices of raw materials were at its lowest level in history. Since 1999, the price of softwood pulp began to rise, and the price of softwood pulp could reach as high as US$710 in the summer. In tons, the increase in the year reached 37%. This change forced the film makers to transfer the added cost to the packer. During the same period, the price of a barrel of crude oil rose from US$10 to US$30 per barrel, causing the price of plastic granules and bases to rise.
The situation today is also about the same. The patented multi-layered polyolefins have been used as an alternative to ordinary polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyester, and have received good market effects. These materials are widely used in plastic packaging to promote the use of film, and the use of recyclable substrates has become increasingly important. Another tendency is the use of thinners or by-products. This technology was adopted by EU PACKAGING WASTE LEVEY to reduce the amount of pollutants produced in packaging and reduce the price of raw materials.
Suppliers use precise die-cutting and smooth fiber compression techniques to enable end-users to get better products. Recently, polyethylene-containing PET materials have performed well in Europe, but in the past, European manufacturers needed higher raw material prices to be comparable to those in the United States, but they had to reduce profits from PET materials.
In the near future, although the output of various materials will increase, the supply will remain tense because customers in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, China, Latin America and Africa will also order. Another trend in the development of labels is that processed labels will be provided to manufacturers located throughout the country, and communication between various manufacturers will be more convenient. This is an unfavorable factor for label manufacturing in Europe, but for producers with innovation and change, they may find a solution. (Finish)

The automatic Chinese Envelope Machine is mainly used for processing large and medium-sized envelopes of Chinese style, and is a special equipment for producing Chinese envelopes.
