Laser Scoring

Improve the user satisfaction, product safety, and brand identification of your packaging by adding precision laser scored features. By vaporizing selected layers of flexible films, lasers create easy open tear score lines that tear cleanly while maintaining the barrier properties of the package. Registration sensors and vision cameras integrated directly within our laser systems automatically control processing to ensure pattern accuracy and registration to print. Add value and convenience to resealable, retort, and pourable packaging with laser scored features.

 

 

Laser Perforating

Unlike mechanical perforating methods which puncture packaging materials and compromise its integrity, laser perforating vaporizes flexible films, creating holes that are clean, strong, and uniform in size. The ability to control the output power of the laser also makes it possible to achieve partial perforations, which facilitate the exchange of gasses and vapors while maintaining a hermetic seal. These benefits make laser perforating a superior choice for perishable foods as well as microwavable and rapid fill packaging.

 

 

Why Lasers?

Laser processing is a cost-effective, clean, and accurate packaging production solution. LaserSharp FlexPak Services utilizes cutting edge LaserSharp® technology. Manufactured by LasX Industries, these high quality CO₂ laser systems offer flexibility and precision that conventional methods cannot match. This technology enables controlled depth laser scoring and microperforating capabilities and is an ideal non-contact processing solution for flexible packaging applications.
