Laser Marking on Fruit

MACSA APPLICATION

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

Laser marking of QR codes on beverage labels

Macsa ID equipment is used to code and mark products made from a wide variety of materials, including paper, cardboard, plastics (PET, PVC, HDPE), glass, metals and wood. The messages and graphics that are achieved are high quality, at a minimum operating cost and at high speeds. Application News demonstrates a sample of products that are coded and marked with Macsa ID lasers, every day and around the world.

Macsa application

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 cervezas   The 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 cervezas In 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.

SPARK, the new revolution in packaging lasers by Macsa id

Companies in various industrial sectors are incorporating equipment and traceability systems that automate their production process tasks. Knowing the origin and path a product has taken until it reaches the consumer is synonymous with the guarantee, quality and transparency that an industrial traceability system provides nowadays. In order to increase the efficiency and profitability of this system, Macsa id has launched SPARK; a new laser that offers innovative features that provide high reliability at a very competitive price along with high quality.  This is a clean and intelligent CO2 laser coder that allows the coding of small characters on the key materials and substrates used in the packaging industry for different sectors.   Spark el nuevo láser de CO2 revolucionario de Macsa id [contact-form-7 id="16985" title="Contact form - Inboud Colours - Post SPARK Catalogo English"]  

Why is SPARK sustainable?

The SPARK laser is a green, 100% sustainable machine because it:
  • Consumes less energy than inkjet coders.
  • Generates zero waste.
  • Reduces emissions and lowers your carbon footprint.
  • Eliminates the need to recycle potentially harmful waste products.
  • Reduces operating costs by eliminating the need for consumables, inks and solvents.
  • Makes the production lines themselves environmentally friendly.
  • Facilitates a clean and hygienic working environment.
  Choosing the SPARK laser is also a smart choice because:
  • The new interface technology is more than just a touch screen; it is the gateway to a multitude of functions: from full control of all the laser's features, to vital information related to your production line.
  • It combines intuitive software with online video tutorials, allowing operators with no prior technical knowledge to quickly and easily unlock the full potential of the machine.
  • It is incredibly easy to use, with the fastest and easiest message creation software on the market. New templates reduce message creation time by up to 50%.
  • It is compact, lightweight and easy to connect. The new wizard reduces setup time, avoiding the trial and error method of other equipment.
  • It is easy to integrate, as the new digital galvos and controllers together with the new dual processor makes it easy to integrate, even for the most demanding production lines.
  • It is easy to connect, as its multiple options enable easy ethernet connectivity to control and manage the equipment remotely.
  • It is easy to manage thanks to Integranet 4.0 software, which allows remote data and equipment management, production line efficiency monitoring and maintenance planning.
  • It is fast because the laser uses high-performance lenses, powerful hardware and advanced software that enables high speeds on packaging production lines.

I would like to know more!

  SPARK is revolutionary because as well, as the aspects described above, it is a quality laser at a very competitive price. After little more than a year, the laser will have cost less than an inkjet system. In addition, and thanks to its advanced laser technology, SPARK is keeps maintenance costs to a minimum. For all these reasons, it is a real innovation in the packaging sector, both nationally and internationally.  

A laser for most consumer packaged products

The SPARK laser allows small character coding on materials and substrates such as cardboard, glass, organic, PET and wood, across a wide variety of industries. The laser marking provided by this equipment is permanent, sustainable and indelible. In this way, the printed code cannot be altered or manipulated, ensuring product traceability throughout the manufacturing process and supply chain. This kind of marking is ideal for preventing counterfeiting and ensuring brand and product protection. As such, SPARK provides the highest quality legible marks throughout the product shelf life and is the best laser for the following production environments:
  • Food: coding on packaged food products: fresh and frozen, single and multipacks.
  • Pharmaceutical: meets the quality standards of the pharmaceutical industry serialisation requirements for coding labels, products, tubes and boxes.
  • Beverages (water, wine, spirits and soft drinks): All beverage containers can be coded with SPARK, whether they are made of PET, glass, paper, labels or cardboard.
  • Personal Care: discreet, accurate and high quality coding for the entire range of personal care products.
  • Home Care: high speed and high contrast for household care and cleaning product packaging.
