Laser Coders for Dairy Packaging

Laser marking involves no ink in the coding process and therefore no drying time or risk of smudging.

Laser coders are suitable for a wide range of substrates at any line speed. Benefits include increased uptime, higher speed capability and the fact there is no use of consumables.

They are particularly suitable where high-quality codes are required, for example, to blend in with the style of pre-printed packaging.

Advances in technology and efficiency have led to a significant reduction in the initial purchase price. In addition, the low cost of ownership due to no consumables and relatively low maintenance means laser coders are a viable choice for many dairy applications.

Minimal maintenance, low downtime, high-speed capability and no consumables – cost-effective solution
Codes can be incorporated within a pre-printed packaging
Highly versatile as they provide clear, consistent and perfectly formed characters in a variety of fonts and message formats, even over relatively large print areas
