iLumiFlex: UV laser coder for flexible packaging
iLumiFlex – UV laser coder for flexible packaging
iLumiFlex is a UV laser coder for flexible packaging, designed as an alternative to thermal transfer overprinting (TTO) on compatible films. It marks dates, batch information and traceability codes directly on the pack, without ribbons, inks or thermal printheads.
How iLumiFlex works
iLumiFlex uses a 355 nm UV laser to create a controlled cold mark on the compatible film’s marking layer. Instead of transferring ink from a ribbon, it creates permanent variable data directly on the pack.
Each application is validated using a representative packaging sample, the real code content and the conditions of the production line.
Key benefits of iLumiFlex for flexible packaging
No ribbon, ink or thermal printhead consumables
Eliminate the ribbons, inks and thermal printheads associated with TTO coding, together with the stock management and waste they generate.
Permanent variable-data coding
Mark dates, batch information, variable text, barcodes and 2D traceability codes directly on compatible packaging film.
TTO-style integration
Its compact design is intended for installations that use the available space and mounting arrangements of a TTO coding system.
Film-specific validation
Assess code contrast and legibility on your own film before defining the final solution.
Less coding waste
Lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and less downtime.
Why choose iLumiFlex for flexible packaging?
iLumiFlex is designed for packaging operations that want to simplify variable-data coding while maintaining control over traceability. It replaces ribbon-based marking with UV laser coding on compatible flexible films, after the packaging material, code content and line conditions have been assessed.
It can be evaluated for food and beverage, household-care and pharmaceutical packaging, as well as other flexible-packaging applications where permanent, legible coding is required.
Applications
FILM
UV laser coding on compatible flexible films
Designed as an alternative to TTO for flexible-packaging applications where the film is suitable for UV laser marking.
No ribbons, inks or thermal printheads
Mark directly on compatible film without the consumables used in thermal transfer overprinting.
Permanent traceability codes
Mark dates, batch information, text, barcodes, QR codes and DataMatrix codes. Code quality is validated for each application.
Designed for TTO-style integration
A compact format designed around the space and mounting arrangements commonly used by TTO systems.
Film compatibility validated on sample
Sensitive films, selected mono-materials and design-for-recycling structures can be assessed using a representative packaging sample.
