Laser application in packaging

Laser energy adds new properties to the packaged product that are not available using traditional methods such as blades and other mechanical methods. The laser beam is very sharp and avoids the uneven quality of die cutting lines that occur with conventional methods. The laser-cut die-cut lines ensure uniformity in both depth and width, ensuring the quality of the packaged product and ensuring that the strength and shielding of each package are the same. When the control software is installed in the laser system, the user can change the depth of the groove marks by adjusting the parameters in the software to match different types of packaging materials. In this way, the time and cost spent in inserting the insert and die grooving are saved and the work efficiency is improved. Laser equipment can not only be operated as a stand-alone device, but also integrated into existing production lines. It is very flexible.
Recent breakthroughs in laser beam direction and energy control technology have made further progress in the application of laser technology in the field of packaging design. In addition to laser slotting, you can cut, empty, or mix the two. The laser beam can work equally well in all directions and can be positioned at high speed to create complex and irregular shapes.
Simply modify the parameters in the program to control the laser to modify the shape of the packaged product or simply adjust the size. Complex shapes and desired holes can also be easily generated without the need to distort the beam or lose accurate positioning of other features. The "powerless" nature of the laser beam allows it to process brittle and thin materials. The sharpness of the laser enables it to process materials that are prone to problems with traditional methods, such as friction and sticky materials on the back.
In short, with the continuous upgrading of laser technology, it will be applied more and more in the packaging field.
