Laser branding and marking systems offer a clean, precise and permanent way to mark products and packaging, without ink, ribbons, or solvents. Ideal for high resolution logos, barcodes, serial numbers, expiry dates, and traceability codes on rigid or semi-rigid surfaces. Reynolds’ laser marking systems deliver fast, accurate marks that last, backed by expert NZ support.
CO2 Lasers: CO2 lasers are the workhorses of the laser coding field, delivering crisp, sharp codes at high speeds onto most packaging substrates. Reynolds offers a range of high quality CO2 lasers from Linx, from low cost 10 watt units for less demanding applications, through to 120 watt systems for super high speed and high volume lines.
Fibre Lasers: Fibre lasers offer more punch than CO2 lasers. They can be used to mark metals and other materials that CO2 lasers struggle to deal with. They can also produce even higher resolution images, perfect for applications that call for very small, discrete codes such as security and anti-counterfeiting applications.
Laser marking uses focused light to etch or ablate a surface, eliminating mess and reducing ongoing costs associated with consumables.
Laser marks are durable and resistant to moisture, abrasion, and temperature — ideal for asset marking, serialisation, and food-grade traceability.
With pinpoint accuracy, lasers can produce detailed text, high-density barcodes (e.g. GS1 DataMatrix), logos, and graphics on various substrates such as metal, glass, plastics, cardboard, and coated tubes.
Laser systems have no moving parts or printheads, making them one of the most reliable and low-maintenance marking options available.
Laser coding technology has advanced over the years. Previously considered suitable only for the highest volume and fastest lines, today it has reached price and performance points that make it suitable for a much wider range of operations.
While the range of substrates that are suitable for coding with laser is more restricted than inkjet, for the right applications it offers big benefits in performance and cost of ownership, including:
