UV crystal label, also known as UV transfer sticker, is a kind of transparent decorative label with self-adhesive. It has become popular in the market because of its simple operation and wide range of applications. AB film is one of the necessary consumables for making UV crystal label, which determines the final quality of the finished crystal label.

So, how should we understand the role of AB film in the production of crystal label, and how should we choose AB film for crystal label? Let's find the answer together in the following text.

一、What is AB film?

Before choosing AB film for crystal label, we must first understand AB film for crystal label.

AB film for crystal label is divided into A film and B film.

A film itself has 2 layers, the first layer is the base film of PET printing film, and the second layer is glue with ink absorption function. The crystal label printer directly prints the pattern on the ink absorption layer. After drying and solidification, the crystal label printer will automatically cover the B film with the pattern on the A film. At this time, the glue and pattern of the A film will be attached to the B film.

Simply put, after the AB film, UV ink, and varnish go through the workflow of the UV crystal label printer, they can be easily transformed into glossy crystal labels that can be pasted wherever you want~

The method of using crystal labels is also very simple. Tear off the A film without any glue and pattern, directly paste the pattern on the object to be transferred, and then tear off the B film. It is as simple and easy to use as a sticker, but more textured and three-dimensional!

二、 How to choose the crystal label AB film?

In general, the crystal label AB film should be purchased and used together, and both are indispensable.

First of all, the AB film has different sizes. The AB film is generally 100m long and 30cm and 60cm wide. You can choose the corresponding width of the crystal label AB film according to the printing width of your crystal label printer.

A printer with a printing width of 30cm can choose a 30cm printing film; a printer with a printing width of 60cm can adapt to 30cm and 60cm AB films, but generally 60cm AB films will be selected.

In addition, AB films also have different colors.

A film is special. The white bottom paper and transparent bottom paper we talk about in daily life are actually a type of A film. Secondly, UV special films such as gold film, silver film, luminous film, etc. are also A films. You can choose different A films to achieve special printing effects according to your printing needs.

B film is a release film, which is mainly used to transfer patterns, so the thickness and high temperature resistance of the film are very important. The choice of B film determines whether the crystal label product is curled when placed, and whether the pattern is torn off completely during transfer.

The most important thing is that when choosing AB film, you must choose a UV film with good quality. After all, the quality of AB film will directly affect the quality of the crystal label product. ZLQ can provide you with crystal label AB film with quality assurance.
