Inventory of Ten Exquisite Printing Techniques

#01 Hot stamping
FOIL STAMPING

Hot stamping is the process of hot stamping electroplated aluminum foil onto a substrate at a certain temperature and pressure, commonly known as "hot stamping" or "hot stamping silver". The metallic luster decoration effect of hot stamping is strong and visually impactful. According to different printing materials, it can be divided into paper hot stamping, fabric hot stamping, leather hot stamping, and plastic hot stamping. According to different hot stamping templates and processing techniques, there are hot stamping, cold stamping, single-layer hot stamping, multiple hot stamping, and three-dimensional hot stamping.

#02 flocking
FOIL PROCESS
Plucking is the transplantation of specialized fibers onto a substrate, which can be carried on various carriers such as paper, leather, ceramics, metal, plastic, etc. The colors of the fibers used for plush include various colors other than gold and silver.

#03 Local UV
UV COATING
Localized UV is the abbreviation for "Localized UV Polishing", which is a process of printing localized varnish and curing it with ultraviolet light to form a localized bright effect. This process results in locally high brightness, transparency, and wear resistance of printed materials. Printed products that have undergone partial UV treatment have a more textured and three-dimensional surface, highlighting the visual effect of local brightness.

#04 Foam
FOAMING PROCESS
The printing method of using microsphere foaming ink to screen print on a substrate and heating it to obtain raised graphics and text. Foam printing has excellent concave convex three-dimensional effects on graphics and text, and is a new printing technology that combines printing and art. Due to the fact that foam ink printing does not rely on concave convex embossing and engraved gravure printing, it can form a three-dimensional sense of concave convex. Therefore, it is widely used in printing and packaging, clothing industry, decorative materials and other fields.

#05 Concave convex
CONCAVE-CONVEX
Concave convex is a special process technology in the surface finishing of printed materials. It is suitable for concave (concave) and convex (convex) molds, and applies pressure beyond the elastic limit of the printed material through mechanical action to perform artistic processing on the surface of the printed material. The process of applying pressure from the back of the paper to make the surface bulge is commonly known as' bumping '; Applying pressure from the front of the paper to make the surface concave is called "indentation", which is a common technique in the post-processing of printed materials.

#06 Film coated
FILM MULCHING
Film coating, also known as over gluing, is a post press processing technology that combines a plastic film coated with adhesive with a paper-based printed product through heating, pressure, cooling, and other processes to cover the surface of the printed product with a transparent plastic film, forming a paper plastic integration. The film coating process has strong protective properties, protecting printed colors from abrasion and enhancing the toughness of printed materials. It also has a bright surface and strong expressiveness, and is commonly used for product printed materials.

#07 Embossing
EMBOSSING
The embossing in printing technology is basically achieved by using embossing machines to select and process specific texture rollers, which is environmentally friendly, convenient, fast, and cost-effective. Embossing presents patterns or textures of varying depths on the surface of materials, giving them a distinct texture and transforming the material into another expressive effect. Embossing can be divided into full plate embossing and partial embossing, or double-sided embossing and single-sided embossing.

#08 Glazing
GLAZING PROCESS
The most important purpose of polishing is to add value to packaging printed products, as the surface of the polished printed products increases its bright luster and three-dimensional sense, and the texture on the appearance is more exquisite, making it easier to become a visual focus in the dazzling display of goods. It can be used in various occasions, preserving paper texture or partially coating to highlight the grade of printed materials, and is widely used.

#09 Die cutting
DIE CUTTING TECHNOLOGY
The usual die-cutting process is to combine a die-cutting knife and a wire cutting knife in the same template to shape the material. In daily production, it is usually referred to as die-cutting or molding. It can be operated as a separate process or combined into one process on the same machine. The die-cutting plate is equipped with both steel knives and steel wires, which do not conflict with each other.

#10 3D Grating
3D GRATING TECHNOLOGY
3D grating technology usually refers to stereoscopic grating printing. It adopts the principle of simulating the spatial difference between human eyes, recording pixels of different angles and levels on photosensitive materials, and then using the composite of grating materials to present three-dimensional stereoscopic effects and even virtual reality on two-dimensional planar images. Through this approach, people do not need to rely on any tools and can directly observe with their eyes to clearly and accurately experience the wonderful pleasure of stereoscopic images.

There are other printing techniques that will not be introduced one by one here.
