printing block, printing plate, edition, impression, label
版 centers on a flat surface used to produce copies: a printing block or plate, and by extension the resulting edition, impression, or label.
版 combines 片 (a split piece of wood) with 反, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of flipping or reversing, as in pressing a block onto paper.
The left side 片 looks like a wooden board, and the right side 反 suggests flipping it over. Imagine a wooden printing block being flipped to stamp out many copies.
For ハン, picture a hand pressing a printing block onto paper: hand -> ハン, and the block leaves an impression.
