Why is laser technology so popular in the packaging printing industry?

Laser has replaced traditional die cutting, and laser also plays an important role in the packaging and printing industry, laser cutting, laser marking, laser printing and other industries. Why is laser technology so popular in the packaging and printing industry? In order to reduce the wear and tear of product packaging, laser technology can perform a contactless printing process. The printing process is fast and accurate, and the printed graphics or fonts are permanent and wear-resistant. For most products, packaging is not only a necessity, but can also become a unique selling point to promote product sales. It is very important to print the product's trademark, logo, barcode or other marks on the product packaging. Other important applications include punching holes in plastic packaging to extend the shelf life of perishable foods; or reserving tears on paper packaging, cardboard or plastic packaging.

Compared with traditional die cutting machines, laser processing equipment has low maintenance costs, laser marking is non-contact marking, not limited by the service life of the usual die marking, and the maintenance cost of batch processing is extremely low. At the same time, the use of laser will also contribute to environmental protection because it has no pollution, noise, consumables and energy saving.
