In the brand label (Brand Tag) production process, to ensure that the label color and customer requirements are consistent is critical, which is directly related to the brand image and product quality. 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 equipmentSpectrophotometerPrinciple: 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 (Lab * value), color difference (ΔE) 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.Color Difference MeterPrinciple: 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 BoxPrinciple: The standard light source box provides a variety of standard light source environments, such as D65 (simulated daylight), TL84 (simulated store lighting), etc., for observing and comparing colors under different light sources.Application: In brand label 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. Second,inspection processObtain customer standardsCustomers usually provide color samples (e.g., color cards, color samples, etc.) or color values (e.g., Pantone color numbers, Lab* values, etc.) as color standards.The inspector…
Third. environment and layout managementStatic electricity and dust controlMaintain 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 label surface.Lighting and Visual AidAdoption of non-strobe LED lights (color temperature 5000K-6500K) ensures that the details of the label 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 optimizationThe quality inspection table is divided 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, the quality inspection process and packaging protectionStaged inspection strategyThe quality inspection is divided 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 isolationQuality inspection process using transparent acrylic separation frame, the label to be inspected vertically arranged to avoid stacking and extrusion.Labeling: “Handle with care” labels are affixed to fragile labels (e.g., ceramic substrates), and priority is given to skilled staff for inspection.Packaging design…
Third. labeling and tracking systemLabeling information specificationThe outer box is labeled with “Fragile goods” and “This side up”, with an arrow pointing to the front of the label.Labeled with warning words such as “contains metal parts” and “no folding” to avoid brutal loading and unloading.Lot traceability managementPacking list is attached to each box to record the label model, quantity and production date.Barcode or two-dimensional code label is attached to the outer box, which can be associated with ERP system to realize full traceability.Multi-language warningExport products need to be labeled with precautions in both Chinese and English, such as “HANDLE WITH CARE” and “FRAGILE”.Fourth.special scenario optimizationExhibition or retail terminalUse display boxes with hooks for easy hanging display.Sample cards and instructions are attached to the label set to enhance customer experience.E-commerce small batch shipmentProtect single labels with cardboard interlayer and put them into waterproof courier bags.Waterproof” stickers are attached to the outside of the bag to minimize logistics loss.Emergency replenishmentThe use of biodegradable kraft paper envelopes, with “urgent” red label, priority processing.Fifth. cost and efficiency balanceAutomation equipment: large quantities of labels can use automatic labeling machine + heat shrink film packaging, speed up to 2000 sheets / hour.Manual re-inspection: 5% of packages in each batch are sampled to confirm that there are no missing labels, breakage or wrong direction.Recycling: Encourage customers to return rigid boxes by offering discount incentives to reduce packaging costs.
Third. field simulation tests (user scenario replication)Artificially accelerated wearMethod: Use Martindale abrasion meter, load 9kPa pressure, evaluate after 10,000 times of rubbing.Case: A sports brand label needs to pass 2000 times of friction (simulating 1 year of daily use).Chemical corrosion testReagents: 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 testProcedure: -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. data analysis and improvement directionFailure 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).Quality control pointsIncoming 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 casesLuxury 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. Industry practice has shown that the use of high adhesion inks, the addition of protective coatings and strict process control are key.
