Liu Minghua Ming: Application of Screen Printing in Metal Packaging

January 15, 2023

The printing of Metal Packaging generally uses tin plate offset printing in large quantities, and uses four-color overprint and other printing machines for printing. However, such printing requires a certain amount of batches, and the small-lot printing has a high plate-making fee, slotting fee, etc., which leads to an increase in printing costs and is not economical. In small batch printing, screen printing is currently preferred because the cost of plate making is lower, which can greatly reduce the cost and reduce the production cycle. For example, small batches of Metal Can printing, drum surface pattern printing, metal caps, small-volume printing of signs, etc. Practice has proved that due to the low cost and easy implementation of screen printing, it has been widely used in the field of small-batch metal Packaging.

Wire mesh is the most important part of screen printing. This is because it controls the flow and ink consumption of the ink. At the same time, it also determines the durability and quality of the screen, which determines the quality of the printing. Nowadays, people can see high performance screen printing screens with good performance in the market, especially high binding force, high tension, monofilament, and plain weaving polyester (PET ) Mesh (mesh diameter can be fine 27 μ m Up to one centimeter 150 The introduction of the line's plain weaving wire mesh has changed people's understanding of some important influencing factors in printing. This has been proven in the technical aspects of precision screen printing. In addition, screens and screen-sensitive adhesives or photosensitive films have excellent cross-linking properties and are also an important factor in the production of high-quality screen printing plates. The development in recent years has made screen printing a good process adaptability and has become a controllable and easily controllable production process.

Screen printing in the metal packaging manufacturing technology once had a "mountain" in the past, today's screen printing in the metal packaging manufacturing technology is "dark and bright," very popular. Why are the changes so great before and after? Innovative metal packaging screen printing materials, new metal packaging screen printing process, new metal packaging screen printing and testing equipment. Until winning today's screen printing in the metal packaging industry is a good situation. Today's screen printing can already complete multi-color overprinting, non-planar printing and other technical processes.
