The Importance of Laser Marking for Food Packaging

Manufacturers need a dependable way to track how perishable food moves from the production process to the point of sale. Tracking helps prevent and mitigate potentially contaminated food from circulating, helping to avoid and mitigate product recalls. By laser engraving the packaging with vital information, manufacturers can maintain product safety and quality as well as:

  • Ensure regulatory compliance: To maintain regulatory compliance, manufacturers must follow baseline traceability guidelines as outlined by the FDA.
  • Enhance food traceability: Manufacturers can streamline food traceability by marking food packaging with unique identifiers. Tracing food improves quality control and efficiency for greater consumer confidence and satisfaction.
  • Boost efficiency and cost-effectiveness: Laser marking is faster and more accurate than other methods. It also requires fewer consumables, lowering environmental impact.
  • Get permanent, legible marking: Serial codes and other information should be permanent to increase reliability and confidence. Laser engraving provides permanent marks, which is important for consumer safety and managing product recalls.
  • Benefit from material versatility: You can mark various materials with lasers, including plastic, wood, paper, silicone and cardboard, among others.

The Benefits of Using Laser Marking in the Food Packaging Industry

  • Permanent & Long-Lasting

    With laser markers that leave lasting marks, it’s virtually impossible to destroy or obscure the packaging as opposed to using another printing method.

  • More Sanitary

    Laser marking is more sanitary than paper labeling. With a laser, you’re able to create crisp, clean lines that won’t smudge like ink would on paper labels.

  • Prevent Counterfeit Products

    By using a laser to mark on your food packaging, it makes it hard for scammers to replicate or alter your packaging design. With laser markings, each one has a unique “fingerprint” for identification that deters others from creating counterfeit products.

Types of Lasers for Custom Food Packaging

If you’re looking for a laser engraving machine for laser marking food, we recommend the following laser types to produce the highest-quality results.

UV/one™ Laser Marker

This all-in-one system does not require a separate controller to create high-contrast marks that withstand the test of time. The all-in-one design of the marker and controller combination saves space in your facility with a compact footprint for easy integration into production lines.

Through suppressed heat effects, burrs and yellow tinting are eliminated, allowing for a nearly perfect finish. Eliminate day-to-day consumables and reduce operational costs with this Telesis laser marker.

CO2 Laser

Proven CO2 systems provide a galvo-steered beam. It is an excellent choice for heavy use and high-duty cycle environments and is beneficial to label and packaging operations as it removes the need for consumables and speeds up the process. Equally capable of stationary bench-top use and mark-on-the-fly installations, this machine can mark up to 1300 characters per second in automated environments.
