The cost associated with maintaining a laser marking system is lower than for printing systems, and laser marking supports greater design and production flexibility; changing a marking is as simple as pushing a few buttons on a laser marking unit. The activation changes the molecular structure of these additives, causing a color change that provides the vivid contrast of laser marking.

The objective was to meet specific denesting requirements consistently throughout the packaging without changing the original design, and to do it in a very short time frame. Because the trays were regularly handled by consumers and filled with food, it was very important that any changes made to the material would not jeopardize the packaging’s FDA compliance. The sheet producer began experimenting with material changes in-house, but struggled to achieve consistency of release.
