As a coding and marking specialist, Macsa ID recently provided a state-of-the-art coding system for a cheese brand to mark printed cardboard pots. These pots are gaining popularity for packaging dairy products, particularly spreadable cheeses.
Using a light beam, the machine precisely strikes the pack to remove the surface layer of paint. The resulting mark, which includes a lot number and expiration date, is exceptionally clear and accurate, ensuring product quality and traceability.
Cardboard is a preferred material for dairy processors and manufacturers due to its thermal insulation, light protection, and recyclability. This helps maintain product quality throughout the supply chain, meeting food safety standards.
Laser marking on cardboard exceeds traditional ink methods by delivering precise and durable markings, ideal for high-speed production lines. The advanced CO2 laser coders from Macsa ID’s flexible SPA2 range are perfect for high-speed packaging applications, offering durability and accuracy for various types of boards.
In addition to coding paper and board, these machines can also work on glass, ceramics, coated materials, PET, and PVC. They are easily integrated into any production line or application, making them a versatile choice for businesses in the food and drink industry looking to enhance their packaging and marking processes.
