In the brand label (Brand Tag) production process, to ensure that the label color and customer requirements are consistent is critical, because it is directly related to the brand image and product quality. So the following will be from the testing equipment, testing process, quality control and problem solving, etc., a detailed introduction to how to detect the brand label color is consistent with customer requirements First, the detection equipment Spectrophotometer Principle Spectrophotometer through the measurement of the spectral properties of the object reflection or transmission, can accurately analyze the color of the numerical data, such as chromaticity coordinates color difference and so on. Applications The spectrophotometer is the equipment of choice in brand label color inspection. It allows non-contact measurement of label samples, avoiding damage to the sample while providing highly accurate color data. Brand tag color Difference Meter Principle The colorimeter is a portable color measurement tool that is based on the principle of the spectrophotometer, but is much lighter and easier to use. The colorimeter can quickly measure the color difference value between the sample color and the standard color. Application On the production line, the colorimeter can be used to monitor the label color in real time, to detect and correct color deviation in time. Standard Light Box Principle The standard light source box provides a variety of standard light source environments, such as simulated daylight, simulated store lighting for observing and comparing colors under different light sources. Application In brand tag color inspection, the standard light source box can help inspectors simulate the actual use of the environment, observe the color performance of the label under different light sources to ensure color consistency.

Third. environment and layout management Static electricity and dust control Maintain the humidity in the quality control area at 40%-60%RH, equipped with ionic fan to eliminate static electricity, to prevent the label from scratching due to adsorption of dust in movement. Cleaning: Wipe the countertop with a dust-free cloth + isopropyl alcohol before starting work every day to avoid particles embedded in the brand tag surface. Lighting and Visual Aid Adoption of non-strobe LED lights (color temperature 5000K-6500K) ensures that the details of the brand tag surface are clearly visible, and reduces touching caused by quality inspectors squinting or coming close to observe. Example: A cosmetic labeling factory upgraded its lighting system to increase the distance between the inspector’s head and the label from 15cm to 30cm, reducing the risk of injury by 60%. Space layout optimization We devide the quality inspection table into inspection area, qualified product area and defective product area, and the interval of each area is ≥15cm to avoid collision of labels in movement. Channel design: keep the width of the aisle in the quality inspection area ≥ 1m, to prevent material trucks or personnel walking when knocking over the label stack. Fourth,brand tag the quality inspection process and packaging protection Brand tag staged inspection strategy We divide the quality inspection into the appearance of the initial inspection → functional testing → final re-inspection of three steps, each stage to reduce the number of label handling. Example: an automotive tag factory through the process of reorganization, so that the average number of single piece of tag handling from 6 times down to 2 times, bruising rate decreased by 50%. Temporary fixing and isolation Quality inspection process using transparent acrylic separation frame, the label to be inspected vertically arranged to avoid stacking and extrusion.

The packing method of “Brand tag” needs to be comprehensively designed according to its usage, material, size and transportation requirements, and the core objective is to ensure that the label stays flat, dirt-proof and moisture-proof during storage and transportation, and at the same time is easy to use at the end. The following are packing strategies and operational details for different scenarios: First. basic packing material selection Moisture and anti-fouling layer Use transparent OPP self-adhesive bags or PE film to seal single labels to avoid ink or material deformation by moisture. If the label contains metal foil, hot stamping and other processes, additional wrapping bubble wrap or pearl cotton to prevent scratching. Support reinforcement layer Hard labels (such as acrylic, PVC) need to be separated by thick cardboard or EVA foam to avoid collision. Soft labels ( woven labels, stickers) can be rolled on a hard paper tube and fixed with winding film outside. Batch packing 50-100 labels as a group, packaged in kraft paper or corrugated box, filled with shredded paper or air column cushioning. Valuable labels (such as luxury goods tags) are recommended to be packed independently and then into customized foam boxes. Second, transportation protection program Anti-extrusion measures The carton size should be 5-10cm larger than the label set, and the interior should be filled with bubble wrap or inflatable bags to ensure that there is no space for shaking. Shaped labels (such as three-dimensional hot stamping) need to be customized foam grooves to fix the position of each product. Anti-static treatment Electronic labels (such as RFID chip labels) need to be packaged in anti-static bags, the outer box labeled “anti-static” logo. Extreme environment response When exporting to high temperature and high humidity areas, the outer box should be covered with waterproof film and desiccant should be…

Separated Letters Gold Metal Logos 36.What is the role of boric acid in nickel plating solution, if the boric acid is insufficient, what will happen? Answer: Boric acid is the buffer of nickel-plating solution, buffering the role of the pH value of the plating solution. When the concentration of 31 g / liter or more, there is a significant effect, but not too high, because the solubility of boric acid at room temperature about 40 g / liter or so. Due to the buffering effect of boric acid, so that the cathode area solution pH value does not produce a sharp change, thus allowing the use of higher cathode current density without precipitation of hydroxides on the cathode. It also has the effect of improving cathodic polarization and plating properties. However, excessive levels of it can reduce cathode current efficiency. The buffering effect is very weak when it is lower than 20g/liter, which makes the pH value of the plating solution change intensify and affects the quality of plating layer, and even makes the plating process impossible. 37.nickel plating, the pH of the electrolyte near the anode and the cathode near the pH of the electrolyte that a high, why? Answer:The pH of the electrolyte near the cathode is higher. This is due to the electrolysis process, the cathode on the precipitation of hydrogen gas and make the pH rise. 2H + + 3 → H2 ↑ Separated Letters Gold Metal Logos 38.After galvanizing the passivation layer, white passivation and color passivation layer that a good corrosion resistance? Answer:The corrosion resistance of a passivated coating after galvanizing is better with a colored passivation than with a white passivation. This is because the passivation white treatment, is already formed in the color passivation film in the bleaching solution to dissolve off…

How does the Brand tag detect if the paint is peeling?

2025-04-25

Detecting whether Brand tag (brand label) paint loss need to be combined with the actual application scenarios and material characteristics, usually using the following scientific and systematic methods, covering laboratory testing and field simulation of the two major directions: First. basic laboratory tests (core standards) Scratch method (Cross-Cut Test) Principle: the use of professional knives on the surface of the label cutting grid (spacing 1-2mm), affixed with tape and then quickly tear off, observe the paint film off the area. Judgment standard: According to ASTM D3359 or ISO 2409 standard, shedding area ≤ 5% is qualified (0-1 level), shedding > 15% is judged as unqualified (more than 3 levels). Applicable scenarios: metal, plastic and other rigid substrate labels, especially suitable for industrial or outdoor products. Baguette knife + tape peeling test (upgraded version) Tools: Pocketknife equipped with a guide device (to ensure consistent cutting depth), high-adhesive tape (e.g. 3M No. 600 tape). Operation points: After cutting, use a soft brush to clean up debris, the tape should be torn off at an angle of 45 ° at a constant speed to avoid interference from human factors. Data Record: We should label cutting pressure (e.g. 10N), adhesive value of the tape and ambient temperature and humidity (23±2℃, 50±5%RH). Abrasion Resistance Test (Abrasion Resistance) Equipment: Taber 5135 Abrasion Resistance Tester, loaded with 500g weights, using CS-10 grinding wheel. Criteria: Paint film abrasion ≤ 0.1mm or no substrate exposure after 500 rotations. Relevance: Simulate daily friction (e.g. backpack label rubbing against clothing), especially for textile labels. Second. environmental simulation test (scenario-based verification) Damp heat cycle test Conditions: 85℃/85%RH environment for 48 hours, then turn to -40℃ for 2 hours, cycle 3 times. Failure mode: paint blistering, peeling or substrate corrosion (e.g. metal label oxidation). Criteria: No visible defects and loss of adhesion ≤…

Third. Brand tag field simulation tests (user scenario replication) Artificially accelerated wear Method: Use Martindale abrasion meter, load 9kPa pressure, evaluate after 10,000 times of rubbing. Case: A sports brand tag needs to pass 2000 times of friction (simulating 1 year of daily use). Brand tag chemical corrosion test Reagents: 75% alcohol, sweat simulating solution (pH 4.7-7.5), sunscreen (SPF50+). Time: No discoloration, dissolution or loss of adhesion after 24 hours of exposure. Extreme temperature difference test Procedure: -30℃ freezing for 24 hours → 60℃ baking for 2 hours, cycle 5 times. Focus: Check the bonding strength between hot melt adhesive and paint film to avoid delamination. Fourth. Brand tag data analysis and improvement direction Failure mode analysis (FMEA) Common problems: insufficient adhesion of paint film (45%), poor compatibility of substrate (30%), incomplete curing (25%). Improvement case: A brand improved adhesion to 5B by adding corona treatment (dyne value ≥42). Brand tag quality control points Incoming material inspection: surface roughness of substrate Ra≤0.8μm (metal), Dyne value≥38 (plastic). Process monitoring: spraying thickness 20-30μm (wet film), curing temperature ±5℃, time ±10%. Finished product inspection: 10% sampling inspection for each batch, non-conforming products should be traced back to the previous 3 processes. Fifth. industry practice cases Luxury labels UV curing ink + thermal transfer process, passed 3M 810 tape test (adhesion 15N/25mm). Outdoor equipment labels add polyurethane varnish layer, passed 1000 hours QUV test. FMCG labels Optimize water-based ink formulation, pass 24 hours sweat immersion test. Conclusion Detecting whether a Brand tag loses its paint requires a combination of basic laboratory tests (e.g., scratch method, abrasion test) and environmental simulation tests (e.g., humidity, heat, salt spray, UV aging), as well as field simulations (artificial abrasion, chemical corrosion). Optimizing process parameters (e.g., substrate treatment, curing conditions) through failure mode analysis can significantly improve label durability….
