Coding and marking solutions for packaging
Tracepack offers the widest and most suitable inline laser product portfolio for all flexible packaging applications.
The HPD series is used in the packaged goods market for cutting, perforating and coding.
CUTTING AND CODING
HPD lasers are powerful, high-performance CO2 lasers.
They deliver exceptionally high-power density which enables them to be effective in cutting and perforating flexible plastic films and foils and other materials, marking high-resolution images onto several non-metallic substrates and coding difficult to code substrates.
This combination of cutting and coding makes the HPD laser appropriate for integration with form, fill and seal machines and similar equipment where it is needed to both cut flexible plastic film and to apply lot code information to it.
Tracepack’s lasers can code without loss of quality on a wide range of films and flexible packaging materials and substrates such as PP, OPP, PET, PE among others.
There are many advantages associated with a laser such as speed, environmentally friendly technology that requires no consumables, a stable and permanent mark and can adapt to harsh environmental conditions. With a laser, you can obtain a clean and accurate cut, as well as great flexibility due to its large capacity for adaptation in complex processes.
The synchronisation of several lasers can make a great variety of applications from simple lines to contours for reusable packaging. The laser cutting is versatile and functional since it can make all kinds of shapes in order to obtain a great variety of customised packaging adapted to your needs.
GOOD CODING = GOOD QUALITY
Print real-time “best by”, lot code, “sell by” and other identifying marks and codes to any substrate with our CIJ coding system range. Today, good coding is evidence of quality for product safety and consumers.
Tracepack’s ultra-reliable inkjets offer better performance and include an impressive number of features as standard, such as smart start technology, better change intervals for pumps and filters and lower solvent consumption.
When it comes to offline printing of cartons and sleeves with product specific data, manufacturers have several options available to them.
This means that any feeding system must be able to integrate with a wide variety of printing and control devices.
Tracepack’s offline coding system with its stack-to-stack processing is ideal for applying variable data flexibly and precisely in small and medium batch sizes outside the production line, the system can be fitted with a variety of coding systems for printing flat folding cartons, sleeves, cardboard blanks and labels.
