New Benchmark for Safe & Efficient Agrochemical Labels

 Client Profile:

YouBiao Printing (Shandong) Co., Ltd., a major supplier of pesticide, fertilizer, and other agrochemical labels in North China. Agrochemical labels must comply with strict regulations, contain extensive variable data (e.g., traceability QR codes, batch numbers, ingredient lists), and possess extreme weather resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. Traditional printing struggled to balance the efficiency of variable data printing with overall label durability, involving cumbersome processes.

Solution:
YouBiao Printing Shandong implemented the SMART ZH-CW65 system to establish an intelligent agrochemical label production line.

  1. EPSON High-Adhesion Inks: The system uses EPSON's specialized water-based pigment inks, which exhibit excellent adhesion and chemical resistance on various synthetic materials (like PE, PP films), ensuring label information remains clear and intact in outdoor and harsh storage environments.

  2. Integrated Variable Data Printing: The system's powerful data processing capability seamlessly connects to databases, enabling high-speed, high-precision sequential printing of unique traceability QR codes, batch numbers, and text alongside graphics. This achieves "one item, one code," meeting national agrochemical traceability regulations and completely replacing inefficient post-printing labeling or secondary coding.

  3. Online Lamination for Enhanced Protection: Immediate online lamination (gloss or matte) after printing provides a physical protective layer for QR codes and graphics, significantly improving waterproofing, anti-fouling, and abrasion resistance, guaranteeing scannability throughout logistics and use.

  4. ZEP Localized Rapid Support: ZEP's technical support team in North China provides immediate response, ensuring continuous stable operation during peak seasons and offering regular optimization for the variable data system.

Results:

  • Doubled Production Efficiency: Production speed for variable data labels increased by over 100% compared to the "traditional printing + post-printing coding" model, meeting the daily capacity demands of large agrochemical companies.

  • 100% Traceability Compliance: Achieved uniqueness and accuracy of information on each label, helping client companies pass national agrochemical traceability system inspections smoothly.

  • Certified Label Durability: Tests showed significantly improved UV resistance and pesticide wash-off resistance of the produced labels, earning quality approval from several leading agrochemical enterprises.

  • Optimized Operational Costs: Completing all processes in a single line reduced manual intervention and material handling, lowering overall production costs by approximately 25%.

Conclusion:
The SMART ZH-CW65, leveraging the durable platform from CAPAMA, the core breakthrough in variable data and durability enabled by EPSON technology, and the localized service ensured by ZEP, has become the strategic equipment for YouBiao Printing Shandong to build its core competitiveness of "Safety, Efficiency, and Compliance" in the agrochemical label sector, securing its position in the high-end agro-supply label market.
