How to choose the right BOPP thermal synthetic paper?

When choosing the right BOPP thermal synthetic paper, you can consider the following aspects:

First, understand the application scenarios

First of all, clear the application scenarios of BOPP thermal synthetic paper, because different application scenarios have different performance requirements for paper. For example, the food, beverage and cosmetics industries may require paper with good resistance to water, oil and chemicals; The electronics industry may pay more attention to the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and viscosity of paper.

Second, consider the paper performance

1.Water and oil resistance: BOPP thermal synthetic paper usually has good water and oil resistance, but the performance of different brands and models of paper may vary. When choosing, you can choose a paper with stronger water and oil resistance according to your specific needs.

2.Chemical stability: Consider the resistance of the paper to chemical substances to ensure that it can remain stable in a specific environment, without affecting the printing effect and the durability of the label.

3.Physical strength: BOPP thermal synthetic paper usually has a high physical strength, including tensile strength and tearing strength. When choosing, you can choose a paper with moderate physical strength according to actual needs.

Third, check the appearance and quality of the paper

1.Smoothness and whiteness: Good BOPP thermal synthetic paper should have a smooth surface and moderate whiteness, which helps to improve the printing effect. You can judge whether the smoothness and whiteness are even by touching and observing the surface of the paper.

2.Coating uniformity: The uniformity of the heat-sensitive coating directly affects the printing effect. The uniformity of the coating can be judged by observing whether the surface color of the paper is consistent, and whether there are spots or streaks.

Fourth, test the printing effect

Before the actual purchase, you can try a small batch of test printing to check whether the print effect is as expected. You can focus on the following aspects when testing:

Print clarity: Ensure that the printed text or pattern has clear edges and no blurring or gelling.

Chemical reaction integrity: Observe whether the color rendering effect of the printed content on the paper is uniform, without missing or incomplete printing.

Durability: For labels that need to be stored for a long time, their durability in different environments can be tested, such as water resistance, oil resistance, chemical resistance, etc.

Fifth, consider cost-effectiveness

On the premise of meeting the performance and quality requirements, it is also necessary to consider the cost-effectiveness of BOPP thermal synthetic paper. You can make a reasonable choice by comparing different brands and models of paper prices, supply stability and after-sales service and other factors.

Sixth, refer to professional advice

If you are not sure how to choose the right BOPP thermal synthetic paper, you can consult a professional label supplier or printing equipment manufacturer for advice. They usually have a wealth of experience and expertise and can provide targeted advice based on actual needs.

To sum up, the selection of the appropriate BOPP thermal synthetic paper needs to consider the application scenario, paper performance, appearance quality, printing effect, cost effectiveness and professional advice.
