Fiber lasers have been a mainstay of code marking in the electronics, automotive and metal manufacturing industries for many years because of their ability to imprint a variety of fonts, icons, QR codes and barcodes on hard plastic and metal parts. Now, with improvements in coding speed, ease of use and size, fiber lasers are gaining a foothold in the consumer goods manufacturing industry.

For variable data such as batch codes, serial numbers, barcodes and traceability information on products and packaging, CIJ printers have always been the first choice for manufacturers of consumer goods. Laser marking solutions require a larger initial investment than CIJ printers in terms of the laser itself and smoke extraction equipment, but lasers, especially fiber lasers, still have many overall advantages compared to CIJ printers.

For example, the low maintenance cost of the laser, the continuous cost-free use of one-time purchase, and the continuous purchase cost caused by the lack of ink and solvent required by the inkjet solution, laser coding is obviously a better choice.

Second, lasers provide much better code quality than traditional CIJ coders. This is because the laser coding uses continuous line segments, while the ink droplet resolution of the CIJ printer is low. Laser-coded markings are permanent and can withstand repeated exposure to moisture, extreme temperature fluctuations and harsh environments throughout the product's life cycle, making it an excellent choice for products that require traceability.

Such as food packaging bag production date laser coding, mineral water bottle laser coding, beverage can laser coding, etc.
