6. Business card printing There are currently three main types of business card printing, the simplest is laser printing, followed by offset printing, and screen printing
The most complex. At present, laser printing and offset printing are widely used, while screen printing is relatively rare.
1. Laser printing: It is currently the most widely used printing method. Offset printing and screen printing are also inseparable from laser printing, and their simple plate making is also completed by laser printing. Current laser printing can be divided into two categories: black and color, which can produce different computer business cards in different files.
2. Offset printing: It is currently the most commonly used business card printing method. Its use is much more complicated than computer business cards. First, the designed business card template must be printed on transfer paper or printed on film (color pictures with network cables), and then printed using The printing machine prints the business card sample on the transfer paper or film onto a special PS printing plate for business cards, and then installs the dried PS plate on the business card offset printing machine and it is ready for printing
.
3. Silk screen printing: Because it is not suitable for printing on paper, it is rarely used in business card printing. Screen printing is the same as offset printing.
You also need to print the designed business card template on transfer paper, or print it into a printing film, and then use a special screen printing machine
The business card template on the transfer paper or film is printed on the screen printing plate, and then the screen plate is installed on the screen printing machine to print.
7. Post-processing Offset business cards and special business cards only need to be boxed for delivery after printing. At most, hot stamping is required
. The post-processing of business cards mainly uses computer business card paper. Because the large format and low-thickness paper cannot be used immediately, post-processing such as molding, die-cutting, hot stamping, and boxing must be performed.
1. Plastic sealing: Low-thickness computer business card paper must be thickened. Currently, the only way is to use plastic sealing. Plastic-sealed business cards have been popular in China for many years and are still the main form of business card production. After the business cards are plastic-sealed, they need to be cut into famous
cards.
2. Cutting: Cut the plastic-sealed business card paper into business cards. Current computer business cards must be cut into cards before they can be used normally. Business card cutting is an important process in the production of computer business cards.
3. Hot stamping: Many customers of computer business cards and offset business cards require hot stamping of logos or company names. Hot stamping is the last process in business card printing. Hot stamping is to use a special hot stamping machine to hot stamp electrochemical aluminum materials of various colors on
business cards.
4. Packing: After the business card is made, it is put into a special business card packaging box, which completes the entire production process of the business card.
8. After the delivery business card is completed, it must be handed over to the person who customized the business card to complete the entire business card production task. Currently
the main delivery methods for business cards are customer pick-up and delivery.
1. Self-pickup: Business cards picked up by customers are generally urgently needed by the customer, and the business card printing shop is temporarily unavailable due to busy business
Delivery, the customer knows that after the business card is printed Come and get it.
2. Delivery: Most business cards require a business card printing shop to deliver them. The advantage of business card delivery is that it facilitates communication with users and forms a long-term user community.
