Advantages of the Laser Case Marking
Sept 2010
Agenda
• Using laser to code on cartons
• Commercial benefits of laser coding
• Technical advantages of laser coding
• Application validation
• Background information
Coding on Corrugated Outer Cases
• Today the majority of the coding applications on corrugated cartons are using two technologies:
– Pre-printed cartons from the corrugated converter– Thermal print and apply labels– Large character inkjet printing
• Laser is also a proven technology for the packaging industry but hasn’t typically been used to print on cardboard boxes.
• The combination of the new high performance laser and a laser sensitive ink allows the right application to benefit from these technologies.
Commercial Benefits of Laser coding
• Reducing significantly the downtime of the production line.
• No consumables besides filters.
• Very limited maintenance.
• Reduced SKU storage costs by laser customising cases
• Environmental and cost benefits by removing the need to dispose backing liner.
• Long life laser source – for permanent long term savings.
High speed laser provides a very attractive Cost per Code.
Key Technical Benefits
• Consistent high quality barcodes and logos print to meet supply chain responsibilities.
• The fastest processing Laser to meet production labelling speeds.
• An improved software allows typical barcode label printing speeds of 1 second.
• Wide printing window allows to print up to 405 mm x 385 mm at fast production rates.
