Thermal transfer pp film use for pp pet hdpe ps abs pvc plastic printing and package
Thermal transfer film is a versatile solution for printing on plastic packaging, offering high-quality, durable designs. It is compatible with various plastics like PP, PET, HDPE, PS, ABS, and PVC, making it ideal for diverse packaging applications. The thermal transfer PP film is particularly popular due to its excellent adhesion and flexibility. This printing method ensures vibrant colors, sharp details, and resistance to abrasion, moisture, and chemicals, enhancing product appeal and shelf life. Suitable for labels, shrink sleeves, and flexible packaging, thermal transfer technology provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for plastic printing. Its adaptability to different substrates and eco-friendly options makes it a preferred choice in the packaging industry.

Q:How to ensure that the colors of design drawings are more standard?
1) For the electronic draft, the customer confirms the color and size. If there is a 5% difference between the product and the design draft, the customer will be informed in advance.
2) Use Pantone color cards to compare color numbers with customers.
1. Cylinder Making (Gravure Engraving)
The process begins with creating a precision engraved cylinder (gravure cylinder) with the desired design. The cylinder’s surface is etched with tiny cells that hold ink, ensuring high-resolution printing.
2. Printing (Gravure Printing)
The thermal transfer film is fed through a gravure printing press, where ink is transferred from the engraved cylinder onto the film substrate (PP, PET, etc.). Multiple colors are applied in layers, with each color requiring a separate cylinder.
3. Drying (Hot Air Drying)
After each printing pass, the film passes through a drying oven to evaporate solvents, ensuring the ink adheres properly and prevents smudging. Temperature and speed are controlled for optimal drying.
4. Slitting (Cutting to Width)
The printed film is slit into narrower rolls using precision blades, adjusting the width based on customer requirements (e.g., for labels or packaging).
5. Lamination (Optional Coating)
Some films undergo lamination with a protective layer (e.g., varnish) to enhance durability, scratch resistance, or glossiness.
6. Packaging
The final rolls are inspected, wrapped in protective film, and packed into boxes or pallets for shipment.

4.What is "heat transfer printing' ?
Heat transfer film uses PET raw materials and prints customized artwork on the PET raw materials through gravure printing technology. After the customer receives the heat transfer film, the pattern on the PET raw material is transferred to the surface of the product using the high-temperature printing of the heat transfer machine, thus forming a decorative effect.
