How to customize thermal transfer film

1 How to customize thermal transfer film
If you have not actually contacted the manufacturers in the thermal transfer industry, when looking for a customized manufacturer of thermal transfer film, you often need to go to the thermal transfer manufacturer to understand the process of thermal transfer film customization and thermal transfer processing of your own products, and then finally reach a cooperation.
However, a lot of time is wasted on communication, and efficiency is reduced.
A common situation is that once the customized production of thermal transfer film is determined, "urging for goods" is a common thing.
Below, I will briefly introduce the customized production process of thermal transfer film.

2 Thermal transfer film customization process

Customized printing of thermal transfer film
The customized printing process of thermal transfer film is to computer typeset the image according to the specific position, proportion and size of the product transfer pattern, and hand it over to the platemaking company to make an electric engraving plate, and print the image on the pet film through a gravure printing machine.
Applicable industries: daily necessities, cosmetics, plastic toys, plastics, stationery, tableware, electronic appliances, building materials, kitchen and bathroom, home decoration materials, food, medicine and other outer packaging
Applicable materials: plastic products (ABS/PP/PE/PS/PC/PVC, etc.), wood, glass, metal, etc.

3 Customized post-processing process of thermal transfer film
1. Customized post-processing process of thermal transfer film
First, customize the thermal transfer fixture according to the product that the customer needs to stamp. The fixture is made of all-aluminum material, and a suitable fixture is made according to the shape of the customer's product.

2. Customized heat transfer film post-processing process 2
The corresponding hot stamping temperatures of customized heat transfer films for products of different materials are different:
ABS material hot stamping temperature 160 degrees-200 degrees
PC material hot stamping temperature 160 degrees-200 degrees
PP material hot stamping temperature 210 degrees-230 degrees
PVC material hot stamping temperature 190 degrees-210 degrees
PE material hot stamping temperature 240 degrees-260 degrees
Metal material hot stamping temperature 250 degrees-270 degrees
Glass material hot stamping temperature 250 degrees-270 degrees
. . . . . .
Due to different machines, the above temperatures are for reference only

4 Customized hot stamping pressure of heat transfer film
The hot stamping pressure of customized heat transfer films corresponding to different product materials is also different.
Generally speaking, the hot stamping pressure of heat transfer film, the pressure applied by the heat transfer rubber roller to the surface of the heat transfer printing film and the heat transfer carrier, should be moderate.
So, how to control the appropriate heat transfer film hot stamping pressure? !
First of all, if the ink falls off locally or the transfer surface is not smooth after the heat transfer film is hot stamped, it can generally be judged that the pressure of the hot roller is not enough; on the contrary, if the ink on the transfer surface is open or the base film is difficult to fall off after the transfer, it can be judged that the pressure is too high.
All of these are the most basic criteria for judging whether the pressure is appropriate.

5 Summary of transfer film customization

In order to achieve the best heat transfer film customization effect for your product, you need to make the most accurate fixture and adjust the most appropriate temperature and pressure.
