- 1. Design Creation
- Digital Artwork: Designs are created using graphic software (e.g., Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop) in high-resolution formats, often using vector graphics for scalability.
- Specifications: Artwork is tailored to size, color profiles (CMYK/Pantone), and any special effects (e.g., holographic, metallic).
- Base Material:
- Vinyl: Durable, weather-resistant (ideal for outdoor use).
- Paper: Cost-effective for indoor applications.
- Specialty Materials: Polyester, static cling, or eco-friendly options (recycled/biodegradable).
- Adhesive & Liner:
- Permanent or Removable Adhesive: Pre-coated on one side of the material.
- Release Liner: Silicone-coated backing paper to protect the adhesive.
- Digital Printing: Ideal for small batches or complex designs, using UV or eco-solvent inks.
- Screen Printing: Suitable for large runs with solid colors, offering vibrant results.
- Flexographic Printing: Used for high-volume production with simpler designs.
- Lamination: A clear polypropylene or polyester layer is added for durability and resistance to UV/water.
- Varnish: Glossy, matte, or satin finishes applied to enhance appearance and protect ink.
- Die-Cutting: Custom steel dies cut shapes from printed sheets, leaving the release liner intact.
- Digital Plotter Cutting: For intricate or variable designs, using computer-guided blades without physical dies.
- Kiss-Cutting: Cuts only the sticker layer, not the liner, for easy peeling.
- Matrix Removal: Excess material around the stickers is removed manually or mechanically, leaving the final product on the liner.
- Visual Inspection: Checks for color accuracy, alignment, and defects.
- Adhesion Test: Ensures stickers adhere properly without peeling.
- Durability Testing: Resistance to scratching, fading, and environmental factors.
- Sheets/Rolls: Stickers are packaged in sheets for retail or rolls for bulk orders.
- Protective Liners: Maintained to prevent premature sticking.
- Custom Packaging: Branded sleeves, eco-friendly wraps, or protective boxes for premium products.
