What is combination printing: Combining printing refers to the production of various types of printing and finishing machines, which are composed of screen printing lines. The more common combinations are screen printing, flexo printing, letterpress, offset printing, and hot stamping. As the combination printing method adapts to the needs of the development of the modern printing industry, it brings huge profits to the printing manufacturers, and therefore it is rapidly developed. According to industry insiders, with the continuous development of related technologies, combination printing will gradually develop into a mainstream way of label printing.

The main advantages:

1. On-line simultaneous completion of a product's various processing procedures, high production efficiency;

2. Save on the number of waste products, reduce the loss rate of printed materials;

3. The combination printer has a compact structure, a small footprint, and easy operation.

4. Fewer operators

5. The total investment in equipment is small;

6. Increasing the difficulty of counterfeiting is conducive to anti-counterfeiting and at the same time improves the quality and grade of printed matter.

Difficulty of combination printing process:

1. The calculation of register zooming between different printing methods;

2. Ink control is difficult;

3. It must be ensured that the sequence of the units used in the combined press has sufficient variability;

4. Set the printing unit speed according to the printing requirements;

5. The operator's quality requirements are high.

Future trends: At present, the combination of plastic, soft, concave, convex, and screen printing equipment has pushed traditional labels and trademarks to new heights; while digital systems have opened up new markets for labels and trademarks. In the packaging field, a single printing method has become increasingly unable to adapt to market demands. In the next 5 to 10 years, the combination printing will achieve faster development. The current development of combination printing is still in its infancy, and many technical issues and material issues need to be improved and improved. With the increasingly personalized and diversified printing, the application of combination printing will become more and more extensive.

Applicable areas: mainly used for smoke labels and washing, anti-counterfeiting features.
