Combination printing refers to the combination of two or more different printing methods, which completes the printing process of different printing and even post-press processing online, that is, one-time paper (or plastic film and other printing materials) to complete a number of printing processes and Printing method for postpress processing. For business printing, packaging printing improves efficiency.

The previous combination printing mainly refers to the process of adding glazing, marking, slitting, folding, etc. on the printing machine, which is no longer in the same form and complexity as the combination printing that appears today. The combination printing now referred to mainly refers to the combination of different printing methods, mainly for the convenience of production and processing, cost saving, efficiency improvement, or in order to meet the requirements of anti-counterfeiting and improve the quality of printed matter, such as for processing certain commodities. Packaging, lottery, etc. use a combination of a variety of printing methods and post-press processing. This type of printing already occupies a significant proportion of current printing applications.


 Combination printing also has advantages that are unmatched by other printing methods. In the past, if a printing method was used to complete a printing product, it usually had to be processed on different single machines. It took a lot of time and the printing loss rate was high. At the same time, different single machines also occupied a large space, and more used. Operators spend a lot of equipment investment. If combined printing is realized, the processing of each process of a product is completed at the same time.


 1. High production efficiency

It takes time to carry out the same paper feeding and delivery device when implementing different printing methods on different single machines. It takes time to load and unload the printed matter. Sometimes due to the complexity of the production process or the performance of the printing material (such as ink drying), some processes will not be able to produce at normal processing speed, which will inevitably make the entire production not smooth enough, affecting the entire production line. Production efficiency. Combined printing can solve the above problems, and the production efficiency can be greatly improved.

2. Low loss rate of printed matter

Every single machine processing should have a certain amount of waste added and put. If several single machines are combined, as long as there is a waste quantity added, this will save the number of waste products, and the loss rate of printed materials will be greatly reduced. The cost is also a considerable amount in a year.

3. Small footprint

The space occupied by each single unit is larger than that of the combined printing machine. The combined printing machine has a compact structure, a small machine footprint, and is more convenient to manage and operate.

4. Less operators

The number of operators equipped in each single unit is more than that of the combined printing machine. The number of single machines is more, the time required for installation and commissioning, maintenance and maintenance by the operators is more, and the working intensity of the operators is Big. With combined printing, the number of operators required can be greatly reduced.

5. Small equipment investment

The combined investment of each single unit is larger than the total investment of the combined printing press, so the combined printing machine investment is more economical.

6. Conducive to security

In the past, if the purpose of anti-counterfeiting was to be achieved (only different combinations of printing were used in the production and processing of notes of value), it was usually processed separately on different single machines. The effect was not particularly obvious, and the production batches could not be large. If combined printing is realized, the processing of the anti-counterfeit product can be performed in large quantities. Combination printing was first used in the printing of banknotes, securities, lottery tickets or notes of value. For example, banknote printing has long been in the process of engraving gravure with offset, embossing, punching and marking. At present, the use of different printing methods on high-end packaging products to print, increase the difficulty of counterfeiting, also improve the level of anti-counterfeiting, and can be processed in large quantities.

7. Improve the quality and grade of prints

Different printing methods have different printing characteristics. These features can not be replaced by other printing methods in many occasions. Therefore, different printing methods can be used to obtain better printing effects, so as to improve the quality and grade of printed matter. main purpose. For example, some products need to use the low cost and high quality of offset printing. Some products need to rely on screen printing to print a large thickness of printing ink layer and better light resistance. Some products require special printing materials (such as fluorescent ink, UV). Varnish, etc.) to show its special printing effect. In order to meet these special needs, different printing processes are required for printing.
