[mast] all about an embossing technology

This is a paper bag for a fashion brand in Guangzhou, China. 
The embossing of this is really well expressed. Even though the overall technology is developed in Korea rather than China, there are so many kinds of materials and tools to use efficiently. 

First time when I went to China I thought it’s a little bit different ways to do coating, embossing, foiling between china and Korea. However from now I am producing the paper bags and box by different way from Korea. Especially regarding the embossing and foiling, I can’t do in Korea in terms of the price and the way of producing. Also in China, the country to invent the paper, their technology of handling the papers is much better than Korea.

The embossing in Chinese is AOTU. And they write 凹凸. :)

Everyone in the world can understand this letter’s meaning.

When we make the embossing we need a mold for this. The quality of the embossing can be up to the price of a mold of embossing. Also the price can be up to the size, there are many kinds of a mold, from 20 Yuan to 1000 Yuan.

The expensive one can’t be made at the embossing agency, it is needed order made and precision processing, and it takes about 1~2 days. Month ago, when I visited an agency, I had some time so I asked to wait there and he laughed and said to wait. I waited and watched the processing a mold for 4 hours. However he finalized it after 2 days from the day.

This embossing line on the box is live.

Regarding the embossing, it’s important not only a mold but also selecting the papers. Depending on the sorts of papers some paper can be showed the embossing line. So how to select right paper is another important know-how.

Other than that, the technology is also important. The way to set the temperature and the angle, how to set up the machine and papers, all of these are needed to make the brand paper bag and box.
