Laser marking on freezer bags

What are the key benefits of laser marking on freezer bags?

  • Sustainability: We reduce the carbon footprint by using recycled materials and a marking process that generates no waste.
  • Traceability: Each laser-marked bag contains detailed information about origin, packing date, and more, ensuring quality from production to the final consumer.
  • ♻️ Recyclability: We facilitate the recycling process by avoiding inks or additional materials that hinder component separation.

MACSA APPLICATION

Recycled materials require the search for marking and coding technologies that are both sustainable and profitable for companies. This type of recycled materials is on the rise in the food market due to environmental concerns and evolving government regulations.

Traceability is crucial in the frozen food industry to guarantee product quality and enable swift detection or recall in emergencies.

Production lines in this sector operate under low temperatures, making laser marking an ideal choice. Laser marking provides cold-resistant, permanent, and highly legible markings, ensuring visibility throughout the product's shelf life.

For this reason, more and more manufacturers are opting for this more sustainable and safer technology compared to traditional ink marking methods.

MACSA SOLUTION

The use of Macsa's SPA2 UV laser allows permanent marking without burning or deteriorating the substrate, ensuring high definition and quality. Laser coding on polyethylene and polypropylene ensures traceability throughout the product's life without generating waste.

The colour of the substrate and the size of the elements to be marked define the power to be used and the speed to be reached. In this case, with laser marking we have achieved good contrast.

MACSA APPLICATION

Every day, millions of coffee capsules are used around the world, and the traceability of their various compounds and packaging materials is undergoing constant change. Potential applications include the ability to distinguish between different coffee intensities, batch expiry dates, and marketing aspects such as branding logos and capsule designs, among others.

MACSA SOLUTION

In today's Application News, the marking we show you was done with a Macsa id SPA2 FP laser. As can be seen in the photos, the reaction of the material is optimal, allowing the contrast to be improved by filling in the alphanumeric characters without perforating the protective layer of the product.The marking area of the black capsule is made of smooth aluminium, a very common material in capsules. The marking tends to be white and depending on the light reflection, the marking will be more or less visible. In the white capsule we are dealing with a compostable material, where it is possible to get a darker reaction. This type of material is increasingly used in this and many other sectors, as it provides a plus of sustainability, which is increasingly appreciated by consumers.marcaje láser cápsula café

Renowned for its outstanding impact resistance, polycarbonate stands out as a material capable of withstanding impact without easily breaking or chipping. This makes it an excellent choice for applications in optics, automotive, and even glassware.

Marking on lenses is important for providing essential information about the product's features and performance, as well as for complying with industry regulations and standards.

MACSA SOLUTION

In this case we used a Macsa CO2 laser to mark on eyeglass lenses. Notably, the peculiarity of this marking is its invisibility to the naked eye, only becoming legible when light is applied from behind. This type of application is especially useful in scenarios where internal coding is necessary for product traceability, without the consumer being aware of the marking.

Being a non-contact process, laser marking on polycarbonate lenses ensures the material's integrity, avoiding deterioration and the generation of dust particles that would require cleaning afterwards. The reaction of the CO2 laser with polycarbonate produces high-quality, high-definition, precise markings, allowing for customisation as well as the flexibility to change the marking data.

In the hydraulic sector, all types of meters and measuring devices, whether they are smart or traditional, require essential information on their top cover. This information is crucial for obtaining approval for use in drinking water systems, and it must be both legible and wear-resistant to ensure user safety. Laser marking on polycarbonate guarantees internal and external traceability in a sustainable way.

MACSA SOLUTION

In today's Application News, we highlight the use of transparent polycarbonate in the watchmaking industry. The marking process was carried out on both sides simultaneously, using our advanced 3D laser technology. This approach allowed for the creation of two focal distance positions: one for top-side marking and another for side marking.Laser equipment has proven to be an efficient solution, not only ensuring the durability of the marking while eliminating the need for inks or labels on the devices but also offering ease of installation on any production line, providing unparalleled versatility. This means that text changes can be made without interrupting the production process, and the system can be adapted to suit various models of meters and counters

Marking on fruit is essential to ensure product traceability, detect incidents, and identify the product’s origin data. Identification is normally carried out by sticking adhesive labels directly onto the fruit or its packaging, with the risk of the labels becoming unstuck or unreadable before they even reach the consumer's home.However, with society and businesses becoming increasingly focused on sustainability, the most recommended system for this type of application is undoubtedly laser technology. Known in the industry as the “natural mark”, the philosophy of this new direct product coding originates from consumers' interest in returning to bulk or unit-based products, aiming at minimizing packaging while preserving the environment.

MACSA SOLUTION

In this case, we have utilised laser technology to mark fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, pears, and apples. This is a permanent marking process that doesn't affect the fruit's properties or pose any harm to the consumer's health. The laser removes a micrometric layer from the fruit's skin, achieving high-quality visibility and legibility in the marking, while leaving the edible part of the fruit intact. marcaje láser en frutas Additionally, laser technology enables us to mark very thin organic material, such as pear, apple, and cucumber skin, with high-definition markings. You can mark the data that best suits your needs, such as the expiry date, batch number, text, logos, or images. This not only enhances traceability but also creates a more sustainable brand image, which is environmentally friendly and respects people's health. laser marking on fruit

Commitment to the customer is becoming increasingly stronger in B2C companies and brands that reach the end consumer directly. Through a QR code on the packaging you can find out who is consuming your product, participating in contests or, in the very near future, who correctly recycles the material in said packaging.Marcaje láser etiquetas cervezasThe beverage market is one in which customer engagement is gaining more strength and where more and more QR codes are marked on containers, even going so far as to change the design of the label to reserve space for this marking.Marcaje láser etiquetas cervezasIn this case, we have marked QR codes with a CO2 laser on labels of different colors. The laser reaction on the paper strips the paint from the paper, generating a high-quality and legible marking. With a 100x100 lens and a minimum power of 60W, we have achieved high-resolution QR code markings (expiration dates and lot numbers), generated at the high speed required by these production lines. The background color of the label enables the viewer to easily read the QR code and marking. For this reason, there is the possibility of creating an exclusive black reserve for marking and coding.Etiquetado cervezas
