In the world of laser marking, the term “cold” processing has become increasingly popular, particularly when referring to ultraviolet (UV) laser marking. But what exactly does “cold” processing mean, and how does it differ from traditional laser marking methods? As

In the realm of laser marking, the choice of wavelength is a critical decision that can significantly impact the quality, efficiency, and versatility of the marking process. Infrared (IR), green, and ultraviolet (UV) lasers are three of the most commonly

Laser marking is no longer a niche technology reserved for metals and hard plastics. As global manufacturing shifts toward sustainable packaging, shorter production cycles, and stricter traceability requirements, laser marking on cardboard, foil, and bioplastics has become a strategic tool

Introduction Laser marking on mirrors and mirror-like surfaces (including glass with reflective coatings or metal mirror surfaces) is technically challenging due to high reflectivity and low absorption of typical laser wavelengths. Selecting the right type of laser system isn’t just

The packaging industry faces a constant challenge: applying clear, permanent, and high-quality marks on sensitive materials without compromising the substrate’s integrity or aesthetic appeal. Traditional marking methods like inkjet printing or CO2 lasers often fall short, risking damage, smudging, or

In today’s highly competitive food manufacturing environment, uptime and traceability are critical performance metrics. As consumer demand accelerates and regulatory requirements tighten, food producers are turning to advanced marking technologies to support faster lines, minimal waste, and robust traceability data.

Permanent laser marking has rapidly evolved into a foundational technology for modern food packaging. It enables producers to embed essential product information—such as batch codes, expiration dates, regulatory details, traceability identifiers, and even serialized or anti-counterfeiting codes—directly onto packaging surfaces

In food packaging, product identification and traceability are no longer optional — they are regulatory necessities and brand-integrity cornerstones. Two dominant technologies have emerged for marking food packages: laser coding and inkjet printing. Each has evolved rapidly over the past

In the medical device industry, the accuracy and permanence of product identification have become core quality attributes. As regulatory oversight intensifies and traceability requirements expand globally, manufacturers are increasingly adopting laser character marking as a standard solution for permanently marking

As manufacturing increasingly incorporates ultra-thin, flexible substrates—such as in electronics, packaging, medical devices, and advanced composites—effective marking solutions must deliver high precision without damaging sensitive materials. Traditional thermal marking methods often generate enough heat to warp, delaminate, or compromise these
