UV inkjet printer VS labeling, choose UV inkjet printer or labeling?

2025-01-10source:access:32

In the modern packaging industry, product identification is not only about brand display, but also an important means of quality control, traceability management and information transmission. For cartons, bottled products, electronic equipment, etc., common identification methods are direct marking with UV inkjet printers and labeling. Each method has its application scenarios, but direct marking with UV inkjet printers has shown significant advantages in many aspects, especially in terms of efficiency, durability, and cost control.

 

一、 Disadvantages of labeling: low efficiency, poor quality, and high hidden costs

 

1. Low production efficiency

 

Labeling is a tedious and time-consuming task. The traditional labeling process requires producing labels, storing labels, and attaching labels to packaging. Each step requires manual intervention or reliance on automated equipment. In mass production, the speed of labeling often cannot match modern production lines, seriously slowing down production efficiency. In addition, the label attachment process is easily affected by human factors, which may lead to quality problems such as inaccurate labeling position, wrinkles, air bubbles, etc., thus affecting the overall appearance of the product.

2. The label is not durable and easy to fall off

 

Although the appearance of the label can be designed to attract consumers, the adhesion of the label tends to decrease in high humidity, extreme temperature or long-term storage environment, causing the label to fall off, blur or fade. This situation is particularly prominent for products in transportation, storage or special environments, causing the label to fail, seriously affecting the brand image and product traceability.

 

3. High hidden costs

Although the initial investment in labeling is low, in the long run, the production, storage, management and maintenance of labels will bring additional costs. Manufacturers not only have to pay for the cost of the labels themselves, but also need to consider the cost of label inventory management, storage space and personnel management costs. In addition, labels may be damaged during transportation and attachment, which increases the overall production cost.

 

4. Environmental issues

 

Traditional labels are usually made of paper, plastic or synthetic materials, and require a lot of glue to stick. These materials are not only difficult to degrade, but may also pollute the environment. With the increasing attention paid to environmental protection and sustainable development, this disadvantage of labeling has become an issue that manufacturers have to face.

二、 Advantages of high-resolution inkjet printers: high efficiency, durability, environmental protection, and flexibility

 

Compared to labeling, direct marking with UV inkjet printers has many advantages, especially in mass production, product traceability, and cost control.

 

1. Efficient production and improved production line speed

 

UV inkjet printers can work stably during high-speed operation of the production line, and the identification content can be updated in real time. There is no need for label production, storage, and attachment processes, which greatly reduces the production cycle and labor costs. The inkjet printer prints directly on the surface of the product, with a speed and accuracy far exceeding manual labeling, and is particularly suitable for efficient and large-scale production. For bulk commodity and fast-moving consumer goods companies, large format inkjet printers can help them improve overall production efficiency.

 

2. Long-lasting markings that adapt to various environments

 

The UV inkjet printer uses ultraviolet curing ink. The printed text, QR code or barcode is scratch-resistant, waterproof, high-temperature resistant, and UV-resistant. It can cope with harsh environments and long-term storage without fading, falling off or blurring. Whether it is transportation, warehousing, or long-term product display, the UV inkjet printer's markings always remain clear and readable, greatly ensuring the traceability and brand image of the product.

 

3. Reduce hidden costs and save materials

 

Compared with labeling, industrial inkjet printers eliminate the steps of label production, inventory management and attachment, significantly reducing long-term operating costs. There is no need to worry about additional costs such as label procurement, transportation, and storage, and production costs are more transparent and controllable. Moreover, the cost of ink used by UV inkjet printers is relatively low, and the overall cost advantage is very obvious after long-term use.

 

4. More environmentally friendly and in line with the needs of sustainable development

 

The ink of the UV inkjet printer dries immediately after curing, and no additional glue or paper labels are required, avoiding the waste of plastic and paper. This environmental friendliness is in line with the current trend of green production and sustainable development, and can effectively reduce the impact of enterprises on the environment during the production process. With the increasingly stringent global requirements for environmental protection, choosing a UV inkjet printer has become part of the company's environmental protection strategy.

 

5. Flexible and changeable, supporting diversified information printing

 

The UV inkjet printer can print a variety of information such as QR codes, barcodes, batch numbers, production dates, LOGOs, etc., which not only meets the company's diverse needs for identification content, but also can be adjusted in real time according to production needs, and flexibly respond to changes in product batches. Compared with traditional labeling, high-speed inkjet printers support multi-language, multi-font, and multi-pattern printing to meet the needs of the global market.

 

三、UV inkjet printer - responding to the future development of the packaging industry

Tube labels still have their application value in some special scenarios, but the advantages of direct marking by UV inkjet printers are obviously more able to meet the needs of the modern packaging industry for high efficiency, durability, environmental protection and flexibility. The advantages of inkjet printers in improving production efficiency, reducing material waste, and improving labeling quality make it a development trend in the packaging industry.

 

When choosing a labeling method, companies need to consider production scale, product characteristics, environmental requirements and long-term operating costs. For companies with high efficiency and large-scale production needs,large format inkjet printers are undoubtedly a more competitive choice.
