Vacuum aluminum plating transfer is good for cigarette packaging

With the continued development of transformational restructuring of the tobacco industry, in particular the adoption of the "Framework Convention on Tobacco Control" and the "Clean Energy Promotion Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution Caused by Solid Waste", the development trend of cigarette packaging Increasingly clear. This makes cigarette packaging companies have higher, more updated and more pressing goals. Luoyang Tobacco Service Center keeps pace with the times, explores and innovates, and caters to market demand. The new environmentally-friendly cigarette packaging material, vacuum-aluminized transfer inner liner, has been well received by many packaging companies.
I. General overview of the unit Luoyang Tobacco Service Center is a tertiary manufacturing enterprise in Luoyang Cigarette Factory. In 2003, it invested more than RMB 20 million in a vacuum laser aluminized paper project, and produced 3,500 tons of vacuum aluminum-plated transfer inner liner paper in various vacuum plating. Aluminium laser transfer cardboard 2000 tons, can meet the needs of more than 1.3 million large boxes of cigarette liners. With advanced computer automatic coating machine, vacuum aluminum plating machine, laminating machine, laser molding press and other major production equipment of eight sets and various types of supporting testing equipment. The main products are: cigarette transfer lining paper, laser laser gold (silver) cardboard, all kinds of vacuum aluminum film, anti-counterfeiting marks, various patterns of laser decorative paper. All products are widely used in cigarette, food, medicine, alcohol, makeup, gifts and other packaging areas. In 2004, it was honored as "Integrity Unit" by Luoyang City; in 2005, it was recognized as a high-tech enterprise in Henan Province, and at the same time, "vacuum aluminizing laser holographic transfer paper" was recognized as a high-tech product. Its trademark "Lexer" has been accepted and registered by the State Trademark Office. It is a company with this scale in the province.
Second, vacuum aluminum plating transfer paper features and advantages Vacuum aluminum plating transfer paper and transfer laser cardboard is mainly used for tobacco lining packaging and hard packaging. Calculating the consumption of 30 tons of lining paper per 10,000 large boxes, only the total demand for lining paper in the industry is a huge market. Currently, the industry mainly uses composite aluminum foil paper. In recent years, many tobacco plants have made the use of vacuum aluminized paper on cigarette packs an important topic. Luoyang Cigarette Factory has used transfer liners in Luoyan “big red soft” in 2004. Xinzheng Tobacco Group Since last year, it has been put into use in the "Red Flag Canal" and the "Red Flag Canal". Up to now, more than 800 tons have been applied to the "Red Flag Canal" brand of Xinyan Group.
The initial driving force for the development of vacuum aluminum plating products stems from the high cost of aluminum. At the same time, the refining of aluminum consumes a lot of energy. The crisis of energy has led to the widespread application of vacuum aluminum paper in the packaging field. With the development of technology, vacuum aluminum plating production process is maturing. Vacuum aluminum-plated transfer paper is a kind of metallic glossy paper. The product has bright color, strong metallic feeling, and bright and elegant printing products. It has played a role in icing on the cake. Vacuum aluminum-plated transfer lining paper is different from composite aluminum foil paper, which has the advantages of environmental protection, anti-counterfeit, low cost, etc. It is a kind of green packaging material. Compared with traditional composite aluminum foil, vacuum aluminum plating transfer paper has the following characteristics:
1. Visual and olfactory characteristics Aluminum-plated transfer lining paper is odorless and non-toxic. It meets the requirements of food hygiene. It has good smoothness, high smoothness, bright color, bright appearance, strong visual impact, excellent barrier properties, and moisture-proofness. , Antioxidant effect is remarkable.
In composite products, when a material composition is greater than 95%, it can be divided into a single material. The aluminum layer of vacuum aluminized paper is very thin, only 0.025 μm - 0.035 μm, while the thickness of rolled aluminum foil is 8 μm - 10 μm. Therefore, vacuum aluminized paper is called a single material and is considered as a cardboard having a barrier property. Discarded liner paper will be oxidized and decomposed within a short time after being discarded. Therefore, compared with rolled aluminum foil paper and PET (OPP) composite paper, it not only has the characteristics of good cigarette pack formability, no burst, no deformation, but also has Good environmental performance.
We compared transfer lining paper with calendered aluminum foil through three sets of experiments: the former group was the solubility comparison. The same size paper, the same concentration of the same amount of alkaline solution, the transfer paper dissolution time of 8 minutes, and delay the dissolution time of the paper is 30 minutes. The second group is the comparison of the time of degradation in the soil. After 3 months of transfer paper, the bottom of the paper was completely rotted and the surface aluminum layer had decayed, leaving only scattered bits and pieces. The rolled aluminum foil pattern completely rots, but the surface aluminum foil is intact. The third group is burning contrast. The transfer paper was completely ash-like after burning, and it could not be collected. After the incineration of the calendar paper, the base paper became ash-like and the aluminum foil remained. Through the above comparison, the environmental performance of the transfer liner is obvious.
Vacuum aluminum plating transfer paper is easy to laser holographic processing. The production technology of laser transfer paper is relatively complicated and the technology content is high, making fake and shoddy products prohibitive. Transfer lining paper and rolled aluminum foil from the perspective of saving aluminum. Calculated with an annual output of 1 million boxes of cigarettes (structure is 400,000 boxes of soft packs and 600,000 boxes of soft packs), aluminum foil consumption of 818 tons is required for rolled aluminum foil, and only 10 tons of aluminum is used for transfer liners. Annual savings of 808 tons of aluminum. Compared with the direct material cost of transferring liner paper and rolled aluminum foil, the cost of 72 grams of transfer liner paper is reduced by 1795.59 yuan per ton compared with 72 grams of rolled aluminum foil, a decrease of 16.56%; the cost of 55 grams of transfer liner paper is 55 grams Rolled aluminum foil decreased by 3,456.22 yuan per ton, a decrease of 30%. If the scale is expanded, it will be a new profit growth point for Henan Tobacco.
Third, the application of the machine and the market reflects At present, aluminum-plated paper is mainly used for cigarette lining packaging and hard box packaging. Luoyang Tobacco Service Center's laser transfer paper project is aimed at the industrial market, taking into account social needs, and is the first to develop on cigarette-lined paper. Since it started production at the end of 2004, it has produced more than 800 tons of lining paper for cigarettes and nearly 300,000 large boxes of cigarettes.
At the initial stage of trial launch, we sent someone to work with the technicians of the platform to observe the usage. Comparing the pasted aluminum foil used in the past, the overall reflection of the smoothness of the machine did not have any negative impact on the production efficiency of the equipment, and it was superior to the aluminum foil composite paper in the over-run state. Through extensive exchanges and analysis with production line technicians, it is believed that the transfer of paper with its good surface smoothness allows the paper to run smoothly on the track. The aluminum layer of the aluminized transfer paper is only about 0.03 microns, which is 1/200-1/300 of the amount of aluminum foil composite paper, and the amount of aluminum used is very small. Secondly, it is suitable for high-speed production, and the packaging of cigarettes is about 200 bags/minute higher than that of aluminum foil composite paper, which improves the time efficiency and saves resources. Individual models can be accommodated except for monitoring probes that need to be replaced.
Market information and feedback: In the initial period of the first half of 2005, the sales department of Xinyan Group was put into quantitative and fixed positions in the region. Sales staff cooperate with us to understand sales and consumer feedback. Due to the use of transfer liners to pack cigarettes, it has attracted the attention of consumers. Many smokers have found that the inner packaging has been “squeaky”; in the meantime, we have used the media to conduct extensive publicity. The product is adapted to the country and the market. The environment-friendly materials required, environmental protection, anti-counterfeiting, aesthetics, and degradation recovery are its major features. Through publicity and feedback from sales personnel, our transfer liner has won a good reputation in the market.
Due to the above characteristics, vacuum aluminum-plated transfer paper has a good market prospect, and the promotion and use of transfer paper has become a general trend, and will bring a revolution to the tobacco packaging industry. The laser aluminized paper project established by the Luoyang Tobacco Service Center has become a former enterprise producing vacuum aluminized laser holographic transfer paper in Henan Province, filling the gap in the production of green environmental protection packaging materials in Henan Province.
At present, the country proposes to build a resource-conserving and environment-friendly society. The relevant state agencies are reviewing the situation and the relevant provincial departments are responding quickly. Instead, aluminum foil-lined lining paper should be replaced with aluminum-plated inner liner paper. In addition, the tobacco processing enterprises in the province are or have been re-integrating to form a large tobacco group, so the project has a very broad space for development. As the tobacco system in Henan Province, the former holographic transfer paper company - Luoyang Tobacco Service Center, adhere to the green environmental protection products as the leading factor for the cigarette factory to provide quality products and good after-sales service.
Although the concept of environmental protection has been deeply rooted in people's minds, but some enterprises have not been able to promote the whole, this may be the lag of ideas. Tobacco companies such as the New Tobacco Group have taken the lead in extensively using environmentally friendly new packaging materials—transfer of liners, and will play a positive role in promoting the use of green and environmentally friendly packaging materials for the tobacco industry.
