CO2 lasers are widely used by the packaging industry for perforating, scribing, marking, engraving and kiss cutting, and by the security printing sector for anti-counterfeiting purposes.
Packaging applications: Ventilation holes are made in plastic film for fresh produce, lines are scribed to make “easy tear” openings in plastic pouches, information is marked on cardboard boxes, plastic bottles and painted metal cans, and adhesive backed layers are cut to produce labels.
Security applications: Travel and identification documents are perforated with easily recognisable characters that are impossible to imitate.
This brochure addresses how the range of CO2 lasers from Luxinar are used by the packaging and security industries.
