Glossary of Packaging & Printing paper

Packaging Materials:

–Kraft liner (KL): pure cow cards, 100% pure wood pulp composition, burst, ring crush excellent performance, and excellent resistant to moisture resistance, generally used for corrugated cardboard tissue paper.

–Test liner (TL): imitation cow card / noodles imitation cow cards, cow cards pulp content of less than pure performance, although the ratio of net imports of beef card, however, speaking from the paper’s performance, and between domestic cardboard gradually narrow the gap, the higher cost, has become the mainstream of transport packaging market.

–Medium: paper core, all from recycled paper into a basic, good adhesion, but the other ring pressure, rupture of poor performance, poor performance against tide. Europe is now producing high strength core, while maintaining the original good adhesive performance while using wood pulp ingredients greatly increased ring crush, break, and anti-surge performance, but the cost is too high, not very widely used.

–CCNB (Clay Coated News Back): standard term for “duplex board paper jam” in the southern Guangdong area known as the “pink gray card”, is a cycle of recycled materials with a belt made of cardboard gray paint, commonly used in the sales package E, B corrugated paper tissues, have better color printing performance. Sometimes used alone as a package, because of its stiffness is not strong, not very good shape, relatively small as a box with his, and another will be used for Insert.

–CCKB (Clay Coated Kraft Back): beef bottom board whiteboard

–CCWB (Clay Coated White Back): white gray core board

–SBS (Solid Bleached Sulphate): copper paperboard / white core powder card, 100% pure wood pulp separated by Kraft and bleached paperboard made from high grade, good printability. Are used for high-end cosmetics, household items, electronics products need high quality printing effect packaging. Surface coating according to the situation are divided into single-powder card SBS C1S (coated one side) and two powder Card C2S (coated two sides). According to the surface coating effects by Matte (matte paper) and Glossy (glossy paper).

–WCC (Waxed Corrugated Containers): surface wax corrugated box

–Grey Chip Board: double gray cardboard, recycled paper into a fully general, good stiffness, toughness is poor, and more for the book cover and fine handmade boxes.

–Wood Free Paper: Model Paper, neither wood fiber paper, paper fiber quality raw materials to grass-based, such as rice straw, wheat straw, grass straw and so on.

–Tissue: wrapping paper, paper towels and products for the lining around a 30gsm paper.

–Art Paper: copper plate paper, books and more for color printing. And texture similar to SBS, but the lower weight.

–Label/Self-Adhesive Paper: self-adhesive label paper

–Foil Paper / Card: aluminum foil paper / card

–Dyed Paper: dyed paper, generally in the manufacturing process have added the dye to make their finished paper will have color, can save a color printing, color effect, but higher cost.

Packaging structures:

-RSC: Regular Slotted Container, 0201 slot normal structure type. RSC is the most widely used packaging structure, structure. The structure of simple molding manufacturing, high strength. Ideal ratio of length: width: height = 1.5:1:1, the proportion of the amount under the cardboard, compressive strength, stacking strength and aesthetic considerations for the optimal angle and so on.

–Inside Dimension: in size, the distance from wall to wall. The volume is the size of carton.

–Outside Dimension: External size carton wall to wall size, the space occupied by both the size of carton.

–Die-cut line: Manufacture Dimension manufacturing dimensions for the size of manufacturing drawings, technical personnel and cargo inspection sample size should be subject to manufacturing.

–Cut: cutter line drawings

–Crease/Score: Pressure line, only line (folding line)

–Joint: binding mode, a combination of methods are commonly used adhesive (glue), self-locking (selflock), sealing tape (tape), stapled (Staple) and so on.

–Perforation: punch, the main purpose of forming or used to facilitate folding along the tear. Because we rarely knife, also known as general intermittent perforation.

–Perforation in Chanel (tangent linear with the pressure line and white), to facilitate forming equivalent

–Half Cut: semi-tangent, using the cutter, but only half the thickness of cardboard cut to the general when the structure for the 180-degree Angular.

Printing and post printing process:

–Litho: offset printing, and the “offset” is a meaning. This printing method is by glial impression drum stick in the plastic surface to transfer ink to paper. As the plastic surface is flat, not sunken in the pattern, the pattern printed on paper and the pattern is flat, not three-dimensional sense, security is poor. Offset printing ink required less mold manufacturing costs lower than gravure.

–Flexo: flexible printing, flexible printing evolved from the ancient printing press, and its predecessor, the popular BC Seal Mark Seal, namely, “the stereotype printing,” a great response at the time the printing industry. Later, the invention of movable type, was printed in the history of a great revolution, and now the ink is printed flexible resin used as a print version, productivity and accuracy greatly improved. Flexible printing features low cost, suitable for printing patience and strong, this method is the most widely used corrugated printing ink field, less impact on the environment.

–Silk screen: screen printing, suitable for small batch production, the lower the operating costs of the boot.

–Aqueous Vanish: over water-based varnish, the main purpose to protect the ink color is not in contact with air and in the process of handling packaging and shipping are not printing not rub flower. Divided according to their effects: Matte and Matte Oil Varnish Gloss, Matte, without explanation, said the case of general default Aqueous Vanish Gloss Varnish.

–UV Vanish: UV varnish, in the printing industry generally refers to the UV ink or varnish. This ink printing through special UV light exposure, which dry instantly, to solve some materials (such as gold card paper, plastic film, etc.) quit after printing problems. UV offset printing ink to be dedicated, general offset printing UV ink can not. Another Spot UV (local UV), can achieve good visual screen. UV can add color and pearlescent effect, to other inks can not match the visual beauty. But the UV non-green material, is generally not recommended.

–Emboss: hit convex effect, protruding pattern effect

–Deboss: hit concave effect, indentation pattern effect

–Foil: hot metal park effects, common gilding, iron silver, there are other effects, the decision by the material. General effect of hot metal park complete with hit bump together.

–Lamination: Film, PP film is generally covered with Matte PP and Gloss PP. Lamination also refers to the printing of pre-printed cover to see the pit after the corrugated (Single face) on.
