Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for printing caps, in particular made from a plastics material, which are intended to close containers, in particular bottles for soft drinks.
  • a typical example of gaining brand awareness or increasing the number of consumers could involve associating known individuals with the product. More particularly, in the case of soft drinks, photographs of known people could be represented on the cap of the bottle . Therefore, manufacturers have started printing the top surface of caps, which has provided an excellent promotion medium, both in terms of numbers - after all, huge quantities of soft drinks are sold - and in terms of turnaround - since soft drinks bottles are consumed very quickly.
  • Caps are also printed using the pad printing technique. Hitherto, this has only been possible by means of a rotary technique. This has the drawback of significantly limiting the colours and inks which can be used. This restriction emanates from the limited accuracy with which the images can be positioned with respect to one another by means of a rotary pad printing machine. Consequently, a machine of this type can only be used to print images which only have to be positioned with respect to one another with a corresponding tolerance. More particularly, in practice this means that it is only possible to print images comprising up to two colours with a pad printing machine of this type.
  • the invention proposes a process for printing caps which are intended to close bottles for soft drinks which is distinguished by the fact that the said caps are printed non-rotationally by pad printing, the image which is to be printed on the caps being transferred by means of a pad, i.e. in particular being printed linearly.
  • a plurality of colours to be printed onto the caps simultaneously, more particularly without additional drying between the different colours or images, in a non- rotational manner, resulting in an image of photographic quality.
  • the number of colours is in this case as many as required for the application, i.e. two, four or even more.
  • the flexibility of the pad used offers the advantage that all types of shapes of caps can be printed excellently, i.e. not just caps with a planar top surface.
  • the caps are planar, four colours can be printed in photographic quality by offset printing. Otherwise, the existing rotary pad printing machines can only print up to two colours and a photographic quality cannot be obtained. In other words, the problem consists in the fact that with the existing process it is impossible to print in photographic quality with four colours onto caps which are not flat.
  • the process according to the invention solves this problem, since it is now possible for a large number of prints in four colours to be made on non-planar caps but with a photographic quality.
  • UV inks are used to print said caps, said UV inks being inks which undergo a photochemical reaction under the influence of brief but intense radiation, in particular UV radiation, with the result that the inks are cured.
  • the result is that the inks used are subjected to a certain amount of radiation, in particular UV radiation, with the result that these inks will undergo a photochemical reaction, in particular will polymerize, and will readily dry without it being necessary to use any additional drying device, unlike in the known prior art.
  • a further advantage of this embodiment consists in the fact that the brief UV irradiation of the cap which has been printed with ink will preserve its structure and shape, typically as a result of an equivalent of less than 200 mJ/cm 2 of radiation being used. In other words, the UV radiation will not affect the shape of the cap on account of the almost negligible heating which results. Moreover, the brief exposure to ON radiation will not cause any problems with regard to UV degradation.
  • Yet another advantage of this embodiment of the invention consists in the fact that the printed caps are free of scratches, since the UV inks are much stronger than conventional solvent inks.
  • the type of product to be produced in other words a cap as an information carrier with an image on it, this is another critical aspect of the process: even the slightest scratch makes the cap virtually worthless and fit only for scrap.
  • the drying process can be accelerated and the additional problem of possible deformation of the plastic cap which occurs if solvent inks are used is also solved.
  • Inks of this type have to be dried, for example, with the aid of IR or hot-air dryers, with the result that the caps are heated to such an extent that they are deformed.
  • closure caps need to fit accurately onto the spout of a corresponding bottle or container, with the result that the tolerances on the caps are extremely critical at this point. This problem is made worse by the fact that caps are generally made from inexpensive raw materials, such as polypropylene or polyethylene. Consequently, caps are particularly sensitive to deformation problems.
  • UV ink for the process according to the invention consist in a high resolution, up to 200 dpi, with the result that printing with photographic quality is possible; continuous production, so that there is no need for any interruptions for cleaning; the UV ink does not have any added hardeners but may have added accelerators, which are responsible for a faster photochemical reaction; very environmentally friendly, since there is no evaporation of solvents, as the base solvent used in UV inks is water; ink is saved since there is no loss of inks attributable to undesired hardening, for example in lines, during cleaning and the like.
  • low- solvent inks are used; low-solvent inks are understood as meaning inks which contain a negligible amount of solvent.
  • Transparent inks are inks with which, when different colours are overlapped, the resulting colour is the combined effect of the underlying inks. These inks do not completely cover the colours below, but rather are partially transparent to the colours below. To enable all colours of a photograph to be reconstructed, it is necessary to use what are known as transparent inks. With transparent inks, the colour which is ultimately perceived is always the combined effect of the colours which have been printed on top of one another, including the colour of the cap.
  • any colour can be reconstructed by varying the size of the ink dots and the density of the ink dots. This is not possible with non-transparent colours. Transparent prints are therefore a prerequisite for quadri printing or four- colour printing with photographic quality.
  • At least one base layer, in particular white is applied in advance to the top surface of the cap which is to be printed, after which the coloured images, in particular colours, which are ultimately desired are subsequently printed, without intermediate drying between the coloured images, in particular colours.
  • the printing with a plurality of coloured images, in particular colours takes place completely automatically.
  • the said caps are successively printed with the different coloured images, in particular colours, the resulting image being the result of the superimposition of the coloured images, in particular colours, which are applied to the cap using the process according to the invention. Therefore, the process used involves in a linear up-and-down movement of the pad. The most important reason for this is that only this process is able to provide high-quality printed images with very accurate positioning of the image.
  • the plate pattern and pad are perfectly aligned with one another while the ink is being taken up from the plate pattern, on the one hand, and that the cap and pad are perfectly aligned with one another while the ink is being deposited on the cap, on the other hand.
  • the cap is also moved to the different printing stations. In this respect, it should be ensured that the cap is accurately positioned with respect to the printing plates for the various coloured images, in particular colours.
  • the process comprises the following phases: the ink is taken up from the plate pattern bearing the image which is to be printed by means of the pad of the printing plate via a linear motion in direction P, with the pad being deformed; the image which has been taken up by the pad is deposited on the top surface of the cap via a linear motion in direction P, with the pad being deformed.

  • the inked printing plate 20 is also aligned with the position of the pad and cap.
  • the plate pattern 24 is arranged in such a manner with respect to the printing axis 1 that the projection of this pattern 24 onto the cap parallel to the printing axis forms the geometric location of the future image 2 on the cap 1 which is to be printed, more particularly on the top surface 19 thereof.
  • the pad is then moved parallel to the longitudinal axis 1 of the pad, in the direction indicated by arrow P, towards the printing plate 20, with its vertex 12 facing towards the image pattern 24, in a linear motion.
  • the pad is subjected to elastic deformation until the pad is pressed onto the printing plate in such a manner that the image pattern 24 is completely in contact with the pad 10.

  • the pad is rolled along the plate and product, the optimum movement profile being influenced, inter alia, by the shape and hardness of the pad and the side of the image which is to be printed, these therefore forming important movement parameters .
  • the optimum movement parameters are derived from the combined effect of the following significant factors.
  • the pad For optimum uptake of ink from the printing plate, the pad has to roll over the image which is to be picked up. This rolling motion is limited in terms of speed, partly on account of the hardness and shape of the pad. The same is also true of the rolling motion of the pad on the product in order to deposit the image which is to be printed.
  • the pad can be moved away from the printing plate and towards the product at any desired speed. This has a positive effect on the overall cycle time for printing the product.
  • the pad 10 is again moved in the same linear motion as indicated by arrow P until it comes into contact with the cap 1.
  • the pad 10 is once again subject to elastic deformation in a similar manner to position B as described above, such that the part of the pad which bears the ink pattern 24 is pressed completely flat against the top surface 19 of the cap, while the printing plate 21 is in the waiting position to the side described above. This state is shown in Figure 5 by printing position E.
  • the cycle can begin again by the grooves and recesses 22 being refilled in accordance with the image which is to be printed in the printing plate 21.
  • the image 2 which is ultimately obtained corresponds to the original inked pattern 24 in the printing plate. Therefore, the process is used with an up-and-down linear motion of the pad.
