Industry Background
With increasing global brand competition, industries such as food, cosmetics, electronics, medical products and beverages require higher-performance labels. Traditional label production methods face challenges including high plate-making costs, long lead times, consumable waste, expensive small-batch production and limited anti-counterfeiting capability.
Customer Challenges
- Traditional printing requires plates, films or molds, increasing preparation time.
- Small batches and multiple SKUs create high production costs.
- Ink, printing materials and consumables increase long-term operating expenses.
- Printed information may fade or wear during product usage.
- Variable QR codes and serial numbers are difficult to update efficiently.
- Premium brands need unique labels with higher visual value.
Laser Solution
Industrial laser systems provide a digital manufacturing solution:
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Laser marking without plates | Edit designs directly through software and start production immediately |
| Laser cutting without dies | Create different label shapes quickly without expensive tooling |
| No consumables | Reduce costs from ink, printing plates and cutting tools |
| Ultra-clear micro marking | Small characters, numbers and QR codes remain sharp and readable |
| Permanent marking | Laser processed information is resistant to fading and wear |
