Laser coding and marking solutions for foils
Batch numbers, best-before dates, ingredients: food and many non-food products have versatile alphanumeric codes and plain text on their foil packaging. With our marking lasers, we offer cost-effective coding and marking solutions for many types of film and industries.
Laminated films and laser films
PERMANENT LASER MARKING ON A THIN SUBSTRATE
When plastic films are marked by laser, the codes, texts or logos are produced by engraving or a color change. The laser markings are extremely high quality and permanently durable.CO2 laser markers are particularly suitable for marking PVC foil and thin plastic bags, for example. Many composite films can also be marked effectively and in high quality using laser systems. In addition, there are especially laser films that are designed for laser marking from the outset.
What is important when it comes to laser coding and marking solutions for foils?
- Matching to the properties of the respective plastic film
- Reliable work under industrial production conditions
- Permanently durable, clearly readable markings, even on difficult surfaces
- Fast, simple and economical coding and marking technologies
- Suitability for serialization and Track & Trace
Industrial laser coding and marking solutions are used for many foils and foil packaging in various industries. Foils made from a wide variety of materials are marked. Examples include PVC foils, multilayer foils, PP foils and other monolaminates and monomaterial foils. Our integrated coding and marking systems are optimally adapted to the respective marking requirements and help the respective industries to reliably meet their high quality standards.
Application examples for film labeling
- Marking of laser foils via color change
- Marking of foil via material removal
Multilayer films or composite films usually consist of two to six layers of different materials. These can be different types of plastic, but also aluminum, copper, paper or textile materials. These foils are often used for food packaging and are particularly tear-resistant, temperature-resistant or protect against UV rays, among other things. Due to their material-specific surface properties, coding and marking solutions have to be precisely matched to the respective foil.
Monolaminates consist of only one type of plastic. These include, for example, polyethylene foils (PE foils) and polypropylene foils (PP foils). Monolaminates are generally easy to mark and, as single-origin plastics, are also very easy to recycle.
