The Application of Automatic Labeling Technology in the Printing of Anti-Counterfeit Labels

In recent years, domestic and foreign anti-counterfeit labeling technologies have made considerable progress. Their anti-counterfeiting efforts have been continuously enhanced, and the difficulty of imitation has been increasing. In anti-counterfeiting and anti-counterfeiting, and regulating the market, the basic requirements for active anti-counterfeiting packaging have been fulfilled. With the continuous development of the market economy, society has put forward new requirements for anti-counterfeit products and anti-counterfeiting technologies.

At present, a large number of commodity labels in China still use manual labeling methods. This imposes hygiene standards on artificially labeled products that require higher hygiene standards. With the development of production and the improvement of consumer demand for product quality, automatic labeling for accurate positioning is imminent. The new type of anti-counterfeit composite packaging material produced by the film labeling technology introduced in this paper basically solves the above problems.

Automatic labeling and compounding process

The new anti-counterfeit compound packaging material produced by the automatic film labeling technology is formed by applying high-tech technology and equipment to the anti-counterfeiting label in the sandwich of the traditional composite packaging material. The production process is: before the composite process of packaging materials, the use of high-speed automatic labeling technology, the anti-counterfeiting labels are attached to the surface of the bottom film or the back surface of the pellicle, and then composited, so that the anti-counterfeiting label is stuck between the two layers of composite materials, and the composite Packaging materials blend into one.

The new anti-counterfeiting compound packaging material manufactured by the automatic film labeling technology integrates the anti-counterfeiting labels in the middle of the two layers of materials, and the labels can neither be transferred nor worn, and can be easily identified. On the inside and outside surface is pseudo, compound in the middle of the material is true, making it easy to identify the authenticity of the product. In addition, the label can also be attached to the designated location of the composite package at a fixed point, so that the security label is integrated with the package.

The use of film labeling technology to manufacture composite packaging materials must have the following elements:

1. label

Labels made by various high-tech means, such as holographic anti-counterfeit labels, paper stickers, plastic stickers, etc., but adhesive layers must be included, and must be disc-shaped, through specific production processes. Rewind the label into a tray.

2. Labeling surface

The labelling surface may be a plastic film, a paper, a metal film, or any planar material that can be combined with a transparent material, as long as it is an item requiring security or its packaging.

3. Non-labeled film

The non-labeled film may be a commercially available transparent film, or may be a polymer transparent film produced at the time of compounding.

4. Positioning and labeling

Use the disc label with the fully automatic positioning and labeling equipment and paste the label in the specified anti-counterfeiting position by means of non-human intervention.

5. complex

The laminated and non-labeled layers that have been positioned and labelled are completely traditional and do not require any changes.

Sub-film labeling composite anti-counterfeiting technology is a comprehensive anti-counterfeiting technology that combines product anti-counterfeiting, process anti-counterfeiting and process anti-counterfeiting. This kind of anti-counterfeiting technology is independent of the anti-counterfeiting label, and is not limited by the type of the label. The user has a wide range of selectivity for the anti-counterfeiting label. This kind of anti-counterfeiting technology has strong specificity and can be closely combined with the user's production process, and the overall anti-counterfeiting capability is very strong. Sub-film labeling of composite anti-counterfeiting packaging materials enhances the anti-counterfeiting function of the anti-counterfeiting label itself, so the anti-counterfeiting technology adopted by the label itself can be reduced accordingly, that is, the packaging cost is also reduced. This new type of anti-counterfeiting packaging has been widely used in China's salt industry, pharmaceutical industry, food industry, chemical fertilizer industry, and has achieved good social and economic benefits.

Automatic labeling equipment

To produce high-speed mass-produced anti-counterfeit composite packaging materials, it must be possible to use professional processes and equipment. Need to meet the following requirements:

1. High-speed, high-precision automatic labeling system

The automatic labeling system requires a labeling speed of 500-600 pieces/minute or more to be able to match other printing equipment and is compatible with the demand for bulk materials for packaging materials.

2. High precision of labeling position

The labeling accuracy is generally within ±1mm, which requires high accuracy and significant meaning. This not only increases the aesthetic appearance of the package, but more importantly, the accurate positioning itself is an anti-counterfeiting measure. Manual labeling cannot achieve mass production.

3. Compatible with printing equipment and materials

In order to be compatible with printing equipment and materials, the labeling machine has to be small in size. Because many packages are small in size, it is possible to print multiple packaging units side by side on the width of the film, such as one out of four, one out of five, or even out of seven. Or eight, often need more labeling machine.

4. With multiple linkage

The automatic labeling system is required to have a plurality of linkage functions, otherwise it is impossible to attach a plurality of anti-counterfeiting labels at the same time at the same time, which will affect the production efficiency and reduce the yield.
