Why choose laser marking on cardboard pots?
In the food sector, trends focus on environmentally sustainable packaging solutions, enhancing customer experience and ensuring food safety. In this context, cardboard is one of the most widely used materials in the manufacture of dairy packaging due to its effective thermal insulation, light protection and recyclability, preserving the quality of dairy products throughout the supply chain. Its light weight makes it easy to transport, while its versatility allows for design customisation and adaptation to various shapes.
Laser marking is a reliable ally in food safety, surpassing traditional ink methods with accurate, durable, and traceable markings.
Laser marking on cardboard delivers precise coding at high speeds, durable markings, and compatibility with coated or finished cardboard materials. Laser technology is eco-friendly, requiring no consumables and generating zero waste, making it a sustainable marking solution.
Macsa ID solutions for cardboard marking
In this application news, we coded with a CO2 laser on painted cardboard cheese trays. The CO2 laser’s precision and versatility allow the light beam to strike the cardboard in a controlled manner, removing the surface layer of paint. The resulting marking, featuring a lot number and expiration date, is highly legible and accurate with exceptional sharpness.
The color of the cardboard significantly affects marking visibility. For instance, dark-colored backgrounds (blue, black, green) provide higher contrast, while lighter colors (yellow, orange) require additional adjustments for optimal visibility.
