Packaging

Our CO2 lasers are widely employed within the packaging industry, where applications include cutting, perforating, scribing and marking. Ventilation holes are made in plastic film for packaging fresh produce, lines are scribed to make “easy tear” openings in plastic pouches, and information is marked on cardboard boxes, plastic bottles and painted metal cans.

Laser processing is generally fast, clean and flexible. Our CO2 lasers are available in three different wavelengths, so that each process can be optimised for different plastic packaging films. Marking is done without ink, eliminating both consumable costs and mess. Perforation and scribing processes can be precisely controlled, and specifications modified on the fly.
