After using a mechanical stamping fixture to mark the automatic food packaging line for several years, I found that the newer faster packaging systems required a more sophisticated marking system , That was what I was looking for when I came across many laser marking or laser engraving systems that could be fully integrated into an automatic food packaging line.
I was really amazed at the range of laser marking products that were available in the market that could fulfill all sorts of requirements and could also be used separately at a laser marking station rather than be integrated into the system. The standalone marking station had its own advantage because then the speed did not have to match with the speed of the packaging system. The laser marking was clear and could not be erased by friction or chemicals.
Since laser marking and laser engraving are interchangeable terms, it is important to understand that this system does not require any inks or any other consumables. Laser engraving is done with the help of a sharp laser beam that removes the outermost layer of a multi-layered plastic film to give the effect of etching which could be a reflective coating or a plastic lamination. Since there is no contact with the surface, there is no abrasion or wearing of the film.
Laser marking or laser engraving machines have caused a revolution in the packaging industry where there is a need to mark the product with mandatory information that is required by regulatory governmental authority. These are not only efficient but also easy to install and work on Windows systems. I was very happy to get a laser engraving system for my packaging line.
Here you can find more detail about Plastic Card Embossing and Laser Etching.
