In this step, the glue layer is an independent layer or a manufacturing process. In another embodiment, the glue layer is also directly used as the first ink, so that during the manufacturing of the first ink, the first ink also has the properties of the glue layer.
Step S15′: when the first ink is separated from the glue layer, in addition to the plurality of beads of the reflective layer is separated from the reflective layer at the position of the first hollow pattern, the second ink is also peeled off from the first mask along with the first ink, in which, the plurality of beads located in the second hollow pattern do not peel off from the reflective layer.
Step 16′: the reflective label has a plurality of beads in the first hollow pattern and does not include the plurality of beads in the second hollow pattern.
In another embodiment, after step S16′ is performed, it may further include applying the thermal transfer technology to the glue layer so that the reflective label is adhered to the carrier, in which the reflective label has a first color (or the color of the metal material) and a second color. The thermal transfer technology is acted on the glue layer and the carrier so that the reflective label is adhered to the carrier.
