Key Applications in Plastic Bucket Printing:
1. Metallic Heat Transfer Film
* Used to apply metallic designs onto plastic buckets through a heat-pressing process.
* Ensures vibrant, long-lasting prints resistant to scratches, chemicals, and UV exposure.
* Common for branding logos, decorative patterns, and safety labels.
2. PET Film Label (Metallic Finish)
* A durable polyester (PET) film label with metallic coatings is applied to plastic buckets for high-end branding.
* Offers excellent resistance to moisture, abrasion, and solvents, making it suitable for paint, chemical, and industrial containers.
* Can be combined with embossing or holographic effects for anti-counterfeiting purposes.
3. Direct Printing on 4-Liter Paint Buckets
* Metallic films can be printed directly onto plastic buckets using screen printing, offset printing, or digital UV printing.
* Achieves a premium metallic sheen while maintaining adhesion and flexibility on HDPE/PP plastic surfaces.
* Used for product information, barcodes, and decorative elements.
Production process
Metallic heat transfer film production process:
1. Make Cylinder (Gravure Engraving)
* A steel cylinder is engraved with the desired pattern using laser or chemical etching. This cylinder ensures high-precision printing on the film.
2. Printing (Gravure/Flexographic Printing)
* The engraved cylinder transfers the design onto a PET/OPP film using solvent-based or UV-curable inks. Special release inks are applied to facilitate later heat transfer.
3. Vacuum Metallization (Aluminum Coating)
* The printed film passes through a vacuum chamber, where aluminum is vaporized and deposited onto the surface, creating the shiny metallic film effect.
4. Drying & Curing
* The metallized film is dried in an oven to remove solvents and enhance adhesion. Proper curing ensures scratch and fade resistance. 5. Die-Cutting (Punching or Slitting)
* The film is cut into sheets or rolls using precision die-cutting machines, making it ready for application on PP plastic fruit boxes or other substrates.
6. Quality Inspection (QC Testing)
* Each batch is checked for defects (e.g., uneven coating, scratches, misprints) to ensure durability, adhesion, and visual perfection.
7. Packing & Shipping
* The approved heat transfer film shinny rolls/sheets are packed in protective materials and prepared for delivery.
This process ensures a high-quality metallic film with excellent reflectivity and adhesion, ideal for premium packaging solutions.
