What Are Multi-Layer Labels

Multi-layer labels look similar to ordinary labels, but they are actually layered labels made of multi-layer self-adhesive raw materials printed using special processes on special equipment. They are labels made of multiple layers of material that can contain a huge amount of information in a small size, making them an ideal tool for promotional publicity.

Advantages and Uses of Multi-Layer Labels

The wide application and advantages of multi-layer labels make them popular in the label market. Multi-layer labels are suitable for cosmetics and medicine, electronics and electrical appliances, anti-counterfeiting and security, logistics and warehousing, etc. They save a lot of space, are environmentally friendly and reduce costs; they can be used as a good anti-counterfeiting measure for brand products and carry out diversified business strategies; they are more suitable for market needs and meet consumer demands, and can help you understand more about product properties and various parameters.

Application Areas of Multi-Layer Labels

At the same time, the flexographic label printer has become an important equipment for producing multi-layer labels due to its high efficiency and precise printing capabilities.

How Are Multi-Layer Labels Produced

The production sophistication of multi-layer labels determines their quality, which is mainly divided into the following three links: preliminary preparation, printing unit configuration and debugging, and post-processing.

1. Preliminary preparation

Multi-layer labels are usually composed of multiple printed layers. In the early stage, the function and information of each layer need to be considered, and the printing plates and materials of each layer need to be prepared. According to the purpose of the label, durability requirements and printing effect, choose the appropriate printing raw materials.

2. Printing unit configuration and debugging

A unit-type flexographic label printing machine usually consists of multiple printing units, each of which is responsible for printing a certain printing method or color. When producing multi-layer labels, the machine must be debugged first, including the alignment of each unit of the printing machine, the adjustment of pressure and ink, etc. It is very important to ensure the quality and accuracy of each layer of printing.

The unit label printer usually prints layer by layer in the designed order. After each layer is printed, the machine will automatically dry or cure it to ensure that the inks will not contaminate each other. After each layer is completed, its quality needs to be checked to ensure that there are no problems such as misalignment and color difference.

3. Post-processing

After the multi-layer label is printed, it is necessary to carry out lamination (to improve the durability and appearance of the label), creasing (to help the label achieve easy tearing or opening functions), cutting and other processes. Finally, the color accuracy, layer alignment, ink drying and other inspections are carried out. After the qualified labels are packaged, they can be sent to customers or put into the warehouse for use.

With its high efficiency and diverse printing functions, flexo label press is an ideal choice for producing multi-layer labels. Through reasonable design, fine debugging and strict quality control, it can produce high-quality multi-layer labels that meet market demand. This kind of label not only improves the packaging effect of the product, but also effectively conveys more information to meet the growing needs of consumers.

In general, multi-layer labels have become an indispensable part of modern product identification with their efficient information carrying capacity and excellent durability. With the continuous progress and innovation of flexo label presses, the application of multi-layer labels will be further expanded, bringing more convenience and security to all walks of life.
