What is a label? What industries will the label cover? What materials will be used for the labels? What are the development trends of the label industry? Today I will take you closer to the brand.
With the upgrading of consumption, the development of e-commerce economy and logistics industry, the label industry has once again entered a period of rapid development.
In recent years, the global label printing market has grown steadily, with a total output value reaching US$43.25 billion in 2020. The label printing market will continue to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4%-6%, with the total output value reaching US$49.9 billion by 2024.
What materials will be used for the labels?
Generally speaking, label materials include:
Paper labels: Common ones include ordinary paper, coated paper, laser paper, etc.
Plastic labels: Common ones include PVC, PET, PE, etc.
Metal tags: Common ones include aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc.
Textile labels: Common types include cloth labels, ribbon labels, etc.
Electronic tags: Common ones include RFID tags, electronic bills, etc.
Label industry chain:
The label printing industry is mainly divided into upstream, mid-stream and downstream industries.
The upstream mainly includes raw material suppliers, such as paper manufacturers, ink manufacturers, adhesive manufacturers, etc., which provide various materials and chemicals required for label printing.
Midstream is a label printing enterprise integrating design, plate making, printing, cutting and post-processing. These companies are responsible for taking customer orders and producing label printing.
Downstream are various industries that use labels, such as commodity production companies, logistics companies, retail companies, etc. These industries apply labels to product packaging, logistics management and other fields.
What industries does the label currently cover?
In daily life, labels can be seen everywhere, involving various industries. Logistics, finance, retail, catering, aviation, Internet, etc. Self-adhesive labels are very popular in this field, such as wine labels, food and drug labels, cleaning supplies, etc. Not only can they be pasted, printed, and designed, but the most important reason is the enhancement of brand awareness, which has once again brought greater demand to this field!
What are the advantages of label market development?
1. Broad market demand: At present, the label market is basically stable and developing upward. Labels are an important part of commodity packaging and logistics management, and the market demand is very broad and stable.
2. Technological innovation: With the development of technology, new trends in people's thinking drive the continuous innovation of label technology to meet the personalized customization needs of different industries.
3. Large profit margin: For label printing, it is mass production. Each printing can obtain a batch of finished labels at a lower cost, so the profit margin is very large.
A brief discussion on the development trends of the label industry
With the development of science and technology, people begin to pay attention to intelligent production. Therefore, the label industry is also about to usher in a revolution.
As an information technology with broad application prospects and huge market potential, electronic tags have very broad development prospects. However, due to the lack of standardization and the impact of the cost environment, the development of electronic tags is subject to certain constraints. But I believe that through continuous technological innovation, strengthening industry collaboration and safety supervision, the healthy and sustainable development of the electronic label industry will eventually be achieved!
The growing demand for labels has driven the demand for label cutting machines. How to choose an efficient, intelligent and cost-effective cutting machine?
As a midstream industry, the cutting machine market is also increasingly active. At the same time, in order to meet the current market demand for high-precision, high-quality, and low-cost cutting, AOL has recently developed a high-efficiency label cutting machine-AOL-1612 digital cutting machine.
How does the AOL-1612 label digital cutting machine perform efficient cutting?
This equipment integrates laminating, cutting, slitting, rolling, waste discharge and other functions into one. Combined with the web correction system, CCD positioning, and intelligent multi-cutting head control technology, efficient roll-to-roll cutting and automatic continuous processing can be achieved.
Completely free your hands and achieve continuous, accurate and intelligent cutting without manual labor, saving labor costs.
In addition, this machine adopts digital die cutting, so there is no need to prepare a die and it can cut any image. You only need to download the cutting file from the computer in advance and import the cutting image file before cutting to achieve intelligent cutting of any image. It not only increases flexibility but also Cost savings.
AOL label cutters are also very accommodating in terms of material capacity. The table top is 1600*1200mm
With multiple machine heads and blades at the same time. According to the number of labels, the system automatically assigns multiple machine heads to work at the same time, or a single machine head can be used to work. Achieve fast and accurate cutting results while saving time on material replacement.
What materials can the AOL label cutting machine cut?
We all know that with the continuous development of the packaging industry, self-adhesive labels, as a type of label that does not require brushing, affixing, or soaking in water, is pollution-free, and is time-saving, are in short supply. AOL label cutting machine is suitable for self-adhesive materials of any material, including but not limited to kraft paper, coated paper, matte gold, PVC, matte silver, etc.
