In the field of consumer goods industry, packaging has always been an important aspect of special attention, especially food safety is the top priority of food packaging. However, while paying attention to food safety and the appearance of exquisite packaging, people often overlook many details, such as customers'  feelings when opening food packaging. For the most commonly used sealed packaging at present, problems often occur, and sometimes even small injuries are caused.


The current advanced laser technology gives us a solution to the problem. The laser system can select a single film layer in the flexible package for scribing. In this way, the perfect and easy-to-tear effect of the flexible packaging is realized, and the integrity of the film can be maintained, so that the outer film is intact, so as to effectively prevent the occurrence of problems such as light and moisture in the package. 


Today’s advanced laser scribing machine systems are completely capable of scribing according to free combinations. For example, many snack packages currently use the design style of scribing according to the outline of the printed pattern on the package. In addition, when the packaging tape needs to have holes, the laser system can perforate the packaging for "ventilation and preservation". This is the most advanced technology in the world. 



Perforation can increase the shelf life of the products in the package, or cater to the product being microwaved. The pressure on food packaging after heating. Now, the laser perforated line has been able to achieve the effect of tearing the entire package along the dotted line. Unlike mechanical tools such as spiral knives or punching machines, laser work does not require direct contact, and only minimal wear and cutting can provide the best processing method. 


Application of laser scribing technology: Laser scribing is a technology that uses lasers on multilayer composite packaging materials to achieve "easy tearing" effects. Traditional tools are easy to draw the line too deep, resulting in damage to the composite layer of the product package; or the line is too shallow, so that consumers need to spend a lot of effort to tear the package.
