Packagings

In goods industry, product packaging is considered as an important factor no less than the product itself because it affects most of the purchasing decisions of consumers. A modern packaging must be made its information visible and clear to match with preserving purpose, or must be easy-open for consumers as well. On the other hand, the packaging should also be designed to suit with the using purposes of manufacturers relating to transportation safety and ease, hygine, eye-catching designs when displayed on their shelf, and to facility the preparation and processing process. These are all the essential requests for a modern and standard packaging either on quality or using purposes that Laser technology fully can do.

Nowadays, laser technology is used largely in the packaging industry to directly mark code, expiry date on product packaging, often used to replace the inkjet printing in order to bring higher quality of packagings. Laser engraving or marking technology is also applied flexibly on a variety of different packaging materials such as plastic, metal, glass, paper, etc and offer a certain effective for that packaging. The following applications are what laser technology can provide to packaging manufacture of any enterprise.

Laser can:

• Make packagings easy to open – “EASY OPEN” ability

​

Currently, packagings may include one or more functional layers, PET resin, take examples, will help increase hardness and keep fragrance for products, PE layer is to close and protect pakaging from tearing, PP layer for anti-evaporation and aluminum layer used to protect product against harmful factors from outdoor environment.

Therefore, Easy-Open functionality made by laser technology will make the surface layer of pakagings weaken to help users easily open the product pakaging, however, this character does not affect the product quality inside.

• Make a micro-holes on pakagings

Today, prolonging using time and ensuring freshness of food is considered important, therefore, to make the food fresher by air exchanging with the environment is another laser marker ability made by punching a series of micro- holes on pakagings.

It is said that laser technology has really brought a wide range of new solutions for packaging manufacturing industry through the mentioned – above applications. As a result, laser technology has once again confirmed the role and achievements in the field of the new industry – packaging manufacture, bringing more convenience for manufacturers and peace of mind for consumers when using a product.
