A New Type of Trademark Printing Technology Transformation - Instant Noodle Bowl Printing

Bowl instant noodle market has spread all over the world and is deeply loved by consumers. The demand has increased rapidly. However, according to the author's investigation, the production process of the noodle bowl still lags behind.

The main skeleton of the noodle bowl is made of a white cardboard with a coating film. No matter which food company needs to attach a sticker of the name, trademark, taste type, weight, shelf life, etc. of the company, the printed matter is printed on the outside. Required for the bowl production process.

Taking Master Kong Noodle Brand Label Paper as an example, its production was completed step by step. The single sheet of gray-white paper is finished with 4-color or 5-color offset printing. The sheet-fed paper is coated with varnish once on the coating machine. After the varnish is dried, the upper polishing machine is used, and finally the die is cut into a fan-shaped profile for the use of the bowl line. . The entire process involves the use of a large number of equipment and personnel. The required plant area is large and the energy consumption is high, and wastes may be generated in each process. Although the use of sheet-fed production methods, but each printing area is large, there will still be more than 3% of paper waste.

In order to increase production efficiency and reduce unnecessary waste, the use of internationally advanced production technology combinations has enabled the production of noodle bowl label paper to be completed in one go. The specific process is as follows.

The gravure printing operation can be carried out with a web-like continuous web printing material (which can guarantee the fine print graphics requirements). The speed can reach 100-150 meters per minute. The mirror effect of the product can be achieved by the photo-curing of the transfer method. Cut into a fan to form a product trademark, the unwinding mechanism adopts dual unwinding and automatic docking, continuous glazing and calendaring adopts non-stop closing and film-discharging mechanism, and can be continuously produced.

In particular, it is emphasized that the cost of UV-curing transfer mirror surface technology is lower than the cost of currently used polishing process materials, and the cost per square meter of material and energy consumption will not exceed 0.25 yuan.

The advantages of the new process method are very obvious. It can greatly reduce equipment investment, plant area, material and wages, and improve the rate of finished products. It is a revolution in traditional production processes.
