Hemp-derived product manufacturer installs permanent marking solution
Fast-growing nutraceutical product manufacturer Leafwell Botanicals has considerably expanded their production output.
At its Steamboat Springs, Colorado manufacturing facility, Leafwell produces over a dozen different types of hemp-derived products including tinctures, creams, foods, gels, and other nutraceutical products including private label goods.
With a variety of materials and substrates to print onto, such as glass, plastic and stand-up pouches, and with different marking requirements, they needed a coding solution that could be flexible.
To keep their business protected with strict manufacturing regulations, Leafwell Botanicals wanted to invest in a solution that could keep up with their growing operation and white label customer requirements, and print information such as expiry dates, lot codes and traceability data.
With products facing exposure to alcohol and chemicals, they needed a permanent coding solution to ensure full traceability. The Linx CSL30 Laser coder was the perfect fit.
The key difference for us and the reason we chose the laser over a CIJ printer was the fact that a laser code is permanent. It gives our products more credibility to have lot and batch codes etched on them

Installation on static conveyor
Leafwell Botanicals partnered with their local Linx distributor, to demonstrate and install the Linx CSL30 on their conveyor. Although most of their production is done manually, they were able to install the printer on a static conveyor line.
As a small, yet robust coder with a configurable head and lens, Leafwell Botanicals were able to install the laser coder directly on to their conveyor with ease.
Great Service and a Flexible Coding Solution
Leafwell Botanicals were able to quickly operate their laser coder and begin meeting their customer coding needs, noting the exceptional customer service provided by the Linx distributor and the speed, versatility, and consistency of the Linx CSL30 laser coder.
Since installing the Linx CSL30 laser marking solution, Leafwell Botanicals have been able to place batch, lot, date codes and other traceability information onto their glass and plastic hemp-derived products, while building credibility and trust with their customers.
With further expansion planned for their hemp based product manufacturing, the flexibility and durability of the Linx CSL30 laser will be able to accommodate Leafwell Botanical’s current and future growth.
It’s incredibly helpful to have a machine that can do what the laser does. We’ve only worked with printers in the past and this is definitely a far superior solution for protecting ourselves.
