Green RFID tags with laser ablation
August 28, 2023 | KYMC Marketing

RFID tags play an important role when it comes to tracking and obtaining information about a product. That’s why global brands like UNIQLO, Decathlon, and Zara have fully adopted the RFID tag into the price tag system for their products. As ESG factors become increasingly important for companies in the marketplace, companies are looking for greener ways to produce RFID tags. The need for green tags is on the rise. There are mainly two places in the RFID production process that we can alter to make it greener.  One area is to alter the selection of substrate that the aluminum antenna sits on, and the other area is to alter the way how the antenna (RFID dry inlay) is manufactured.

A versatile lamination press to meet your diverse packaging
June 27, 2023 | KYMC Marketing

As brands try their best effort to catch the attention of consumers, different packaging designs are created to achieve this goal. In turn, it is the printers’ and converters’ (coating and lamination) challenge to turn these different designs into down-to-earth packaging products. Surface-reverse printing is one of the ways to catch the consumer's eye. In the following article, we will discuss the two typical industrial processes related to surface-reverse printing/coating.

Butt Splicing for Easy-Peel Multi-Layer Films
March 29, 2022 | KYMC Marketing

For those that are not familiar with the nonstop web splicing. In general, there are two types of nonstop web splicing, which are lap splicing and butt splicing. Lap splicing is about joining two web rolls together. To join an end of a web roll and a beginning of a web roll together by laying one roll over the other with a tape. In this case, an overlapping region will be created to join the two rolls. On the other hand, butt splicing joins the two web rolls together without an overlapping region, which makes it much harder to perform. Butt splicing is used in applications where the thickness generated by the overlapping region during web joining is not acceptable.

KYMC - Glass Conveyance Technology on R2R Equipment
March 15, 2022 | KYMC Marketing

To print on a 50 μm ultra-thin flexible glass material using Flexographic printing. To achieve a two-layer printing: a conductive grid layer and an insulation layer. The insulation layer will be printed over the conductive grid layer through tight registration. This is completed on a Roll-to-Roll(R2R) CI Flexographic press, using silver flexographic ink, a low viscosity and a water-based solution containing nanoscale particles for the conductive grids. A dielectric ink, a low viscosity and water-based solution containing epoxy resin for the insulation layer.
