Applications of Laser Cutting in Packaging
Custom Packaging Designs
Our laser systems facilitate the creation of intricate and detailed designs, allowing brands to produce distinctive and high-quality packaging that stands out in the market. This capability is particularly beneficial for luxury and speciality products requiring unique packaging solutions.
Perforation and Ventilation
LasX’s laser technology enables precise perforations in packaging materials, ensuring proper ventilation and moisture control. This is essential for maintaining the freshness and extending the shelf life of perishable goods.
Product Identification and Traceability
Our systems can integrate barcodes, QR codes, and serial numbers directly into packaging materials, providing permanent and tamper-proof markings that enhance product traceability and comply with regulatory standards.
Functional Features for User Convenience
We offer solutions for creating easy-open features, resealable closures, and tear strips, enhancing user experience without compromising packaging integrity.
The Science Behind Laser Cutting for Packaging
LasX utilises advanced LaserSharp® Processing Modules (LPMs), which employ high-energy laser beams to achieve precise cuts, scores, and perforations. This non-contact process ensures clean edges and intricate details, even on complex multilayer materials, without the need for physical tooling or retooling.
