In the knitted glove manufacturing process, label printing is a crucial step that ensures brand identity and product information are clearly displayed. For labels with 1-2 colors, traditional ink pad printing is often used. However, for labels with three or more colors, the heat transfer machine for gloves is the preferred choice. Our company has developed a small heat transfer machine that combines efficiency, precision, and ease of use, making it an ideal solution for modern glove production lines.
Why Choose Heat Transfer for Multi-Color Labels?
Heat transfer printing is the go-to method for labels with three or more colors due to its ability to produce vibrant, durable, and high-resolution designs. Unlike traditional methods, heat transfer ensures that each color is accurately applied, resulting in a professional finish that enhances the overall quality of the gloves.
Key Features of Our Compact Heat Transfer Machine
Compact and User-Friendly Design
Our small heat transfer machine is designed to save space while offering unmatched ease of use. Its compact size makes it suitable for small to medium-sized production facilities, and its intuitive operation ensures that even inexperienced workers can operate it efficiently.
Automated Workflow for Enhanced Efficiency
This machine automates the entire label printing process, including:
- Label Feeding: Automatically picks up labels for printing.
- Material Transfer: Precisely positions the label on the glove.
- Heat Pressing: Applies consistent heat and pressure for long-lasting adhesion.
- Stripping Off: Ensures smooth removal of the glove from the mold.
The machine can be used as a single unit or in a dual-machine configuration, significantly reducing waiting times and boosting productivity.
Wide Range of Label Sizes
Our compact heat transfer machine for gloves accommodates labels ranging from 18*30mm (minimum) to 60*80mm (maximum), making it versatile enough to meet the diverse needs of glove manufacturers.
Infrared Positioning for Accuracy
To ensure consistent label placement, the machine is equipped with an infrared positioning system. This feature guarantees that each glove is placed on the mold in the same position, eliminating errors and maintaining uniformity across all products.
Practical Tips for Optimal Results
- Air Compressor Requirement: The machine requires an air compressor with a working pressure of 0.4-0.6 MPa (to be provided by the customer).
- Label Shape Recommendation: For best results, design labels in a rectangular shape rather than square. This helps workers easily identify the correct orientation, reducing the risk of misprints and improving overall product quality.
- Heat pressing parameter: For nylon or polyester/cotton gloves, use a temperature of 150-160°C for 2-3 seconds. For cut-resistance gloves, use a temperature of 180°C for 4 seconds.
Conclusion
In summary, our heat transfer machine for gloves is a game-changer in the glove manufacturing industry. Its compact design, automated features, and advanced infrared positioning system ensure high-quality, consistent label printing. By choosing our small heat transfer machine, manufacturers can streamline their production process, reduce errors, and meet the growing demands of their customers.
