How to reduce the cost of copperplate adhesive labels?

Reducing the cost of copperplate adhesive labels can be approached from multiple aspects, and the following are some specific strategies:

1、 Optimize production processes and management

Accurate calculation of loss rate:

Reasonably calculating the production loss rate and separately accounting for machine adjustment loss and production loss can help to have a clearer understanding of the loss situation in each link and provide valuable reference information for subsequent production management.

Set different loss rate control ranges based on order length (material quantity) and strictly implement them. For example, short orders should be controlled between 5% and 10%, medium orders between 3% and 5%, long orders within 3%, and long orders between 1% and 1.5%.

Reasonably arrange the process:

Try to choose online production to reduce losses between processes. For the production of adhesive labels with complex processes, it is necessary to fully consider the actual situation of the enterprise's production equipment and design an online production process.

Introduce modular label printing equipment to improve efficiency and reduce losses.

Reasonably order raw materials:

Choose large-diameter raw materials to reduce material waste caused by the number of paper connections during downtime. Communicate with suppliers to ensure that the diameter of the ordered materials matches the maximum roll diameter of the equipment.

Consider purchasing non-stop unwinding and rewinding devices to achieve non-stop roll changing and significantly reduce raw material loss rates.

Reasonably arrange orders and inventory:

In response to customers placing frequent orders but with small quantities, communicate and negotiate with them to prepare an appropriate amount of inventory. Convert short orders into medium or long orders to reduce material waste caused by multiple production and machine adjustments.

2、 Improve production efficiency and quality

Equipment maintenance and upgrade:

Regularly maintain and upgrade the equipment to ensure its stability and accuracy. This helps to reduce losses caused by issues such as inaccurate printing and paper misalignment.

Timely update equipment, introduce new technologies, and improve production efficiency and quality.

Optimize the plate making process:

Shorten exposure time, optimize transition net effect, and improve plate quality.

Using back exposure technology to solve the problem of large area transition network drops.

Improve printing technology:

Using appropriate printing parameters and ink properties to ensure printing quality.

Take targeted measures to solve specific problems such as electrostatic interference, material foaming, etc.

3、 Save raw materials and auxiliary materials

Choose cost-effective raw materials:

On the premise of ensuring quality, choose reasonably priced raw materials such as copperplate paper, adhesive, ink, etc.

Establish long-term cooperative relationships with suppliers and strive for more favorable procurement prices.

Reduce waste generation:

Optimize layout design to reduce material waste.

Recycling and utilizing waste materials, such as using waste materials of the same color for machine tuning.

4、 Improve manual efficiency

Training employees:

Improve the skill level of employees, enabling them to proficiently operate equipment and quickly solve problems.

Cultivate employees' quality awareness and ensure that every aspect meets quality standards.

Reasonably arrange work time and tasks:

Avoid excessive overtime for employees, improve work efficiency and morale.

Reasonably arrange work tasks based on order volume and production progress to ensure smooth production.

In summary, reducing the cost of copperplate adhesive labels requires starting from multiple aspects, including optimizing production processes and management, improving production efficiency and quality, saving raw and auxiliary materials, and improving labor efficiency. The implementation of these strategies will help companies reduce costs and improve competitiveness.
