Brief analysis of four types of tableware thermal transfer films

1-Introduction to tableware thermal transfer films
Tableware thermal transfer films refer to films with patterns specially transferred to various tableware. According to the use attributes, tableware can be bowls, plates, dishes, trays, chopsticks, soup spoons, knives and forks, as well as various containers and hand-held utensils with different uses.

Thermal transfer films can not only add luster to tableware and meet customers' personalized needs for tableware, but also increase the added value of tableware and bring good development opportunities.

2-Characteristics of tableware thermal transfer films
A. Good adhesion and not easy to fade

Due to the high temperature heating factor, the thermal transfer film on the tableware will be more solid than the water transfer process in the finished image color, good adhesion, and will not fade easily.

B. Wide applicability and strong physical properties

Thermal transfer film can not only be widely used on tableware substrates such as plastic, metal, glass, and wood, but also has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, impact resistance, aging resistance, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and fire resistance. Therefore, the thermal transfer process is particularly suitable for wear-resistant and steam-resistant tableware.

3-Types of tableware thermal transfer film

According to different tableware materials, it can be divided into the following types:

1. Plastic tableware thermal transfer film

Plastic tableware thermal transfer

Using thermal transfer technology to decorate the surface of various tableware made of plastic materials, it can not only meet customers' needs for personalized appearance design of tableware, but also the thermal transfer pattern will be integrated with the product surface after transfer, and it has the characteristics of not easy to fall off, waterproof, wear-resistant, and steam-resistant.

2. Metal tableware thermal transfer film

Metal can thermal transfer film

Metal tableware is stronger and more textured than plastic tableware, and its appearance is more fashionable and more popular with consumers.

Because the thermal transfer film is coated with special glue, the flower film can directly form good adhesion on the surface of metal tableware without relying on the surface paint of the metal object.
The widespread application of metal tableware thermal transfer film has further promoted the development of metal thermal transfer technology.

3. Glass tableware thermal transfer film

Glass cup thermal transfer film

Tableware thermal transfer film can make the decorative pattern on the glass surface no longer a simple line or color block, but a rich pattern with bright colors.

It not only improves the surface decoration effect of glass products, but also greatly increases the added value of the product, making the surface decoration of glass products show a brilliant and shining style.

4. Wood tableware thermal transfer film

Wood plate thermal transfer film

Due to the material, the surface of the wood tableware needs to be "sprayed" first to make its surface smooth before thermal transfer processing can be performed on the wood products.

The transferred wood tableware has many excellent characteristics of ordinary thermal transfer printing, such as realistic patterns, rich color layers, bright colors, accurate color registration, small color difference, high gloss, and good reproducibility.

After the post-processing of thermal transfer, the pattern on the wood thermal transfer film can be integrated with the substrate.
