1.Screen printing

Screen printing is to stretch silk fabric, synthetic fabric or wire mesh on a frame, and make a screen printing plate by hand-engraving film or photochemical plate making. The modern screen printing technology uses a photosensitive material to make a screen printing plate by photolithography (so that the screen hole of the graphic portion on the screen printing plate is a through hole, and the non-graphic portion of the wire mesh hole is blocked. live). During printing, the ink is transferred to the substrate through the mesh of the graphic portion by the extrusion of the squeegee to form the same graphic as the original. The screen printing equipment is simple, easy to operate, simple in printing and plate making, low in cost, and strong in adaptability.

Specifically divided into: ordinary ink printing, rotary printing, foam printing, thermosetting printing, hard plastic printing. Usually hot stamping and hot stamping are screen printed. The disadvantage is that the color is limited and the length of the artwork needs to be shorter. Nowadays, for the convenience of the factory, usually the printing will leave the edge, and the edge of the webbing is not printed, so it is more suitable for printing.

2. Thermal transfer

The transfer process is also widely used in the gift industry, especially for lanyard production. The method has low cost and good effect. It has an absolute price advantage when printing dot patterns, and the thermal transfer lanyard is absolutely environmentally friendly, so it is very popular among customers and friends.

In the manufacture of thermal transfer lanyards, the embryonic band is typically white, and the entire rope including the background color and text pattern is sublimated. Therefore, this provides great convenience for the user to design the overall effect of the lanyard. In theory, the lanyard can be made according to any color pattern of the customer. In the traditional lanyard screen printing process, the customer's pattern and logo are usually printed on a color ribbon. Due to cost constraints, most gift manufacturers can only print solid swatches, which makes it difficult to have a large number of colors. Operation, the finished product is very high. It is prone to bias. Heat transfer does not occur due to overall pattern transfer.
