PVC heat transfer labels are usually cheaper than silicone heat transfer labels. This conclusion is mainly based on factors such as material cost, production process and market pricing of the two.
Material cost
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a widely used plastic material with relatively low raw material cost. PVC rubber seals are mainly made of DNP oil, PVC powder, stabilizer, soybean oil and other materials, which are relatively common and affordable in the market.
Silicone is a high-performance elastic material, and its raw material cost is usually higher than PVC. Silicone rubber seals are made of liquid silicone oil and solid silicone heated in a mold with a vulcanizer. The production process is relatively complicated, and the price of silicone material itself is higher than PVC.
Production process
The production process of PVC heat transfer labels is relatively simple, and the required equipment and energy consumption are also low, so the production cost is relatively low.
The production process of silicone heat transfer labels is more complicated, requiring high-precision molds and professional vulcanization equipment, and the control of temperature and time during the production process is higher, which increases the production cost.
Market pricing
Since the material cost and production cost of PVC heat transfer trademarks are relatively low, their market pricing is usually lower than that of silicone heat transfer trademarks.
Silicone heat transfer trademarks have higher market pricing due to their excellent material properties and complex production processes.
In summary, PVC heat transfer trademarks are lower than silicone heat transfer trademarks in terms of material cost, production process and market pricing, so they are usually cheaper. However, it should be noted that price is not the only factor in choosing a heat transfer trademark. When choosing, you also need to consider the performance requirements, application scenarios, durability, and environmental protection of the trademark.
