10.2 µm CO2 Laser Coder for Laminated Cartons

Crisp codes on coated board, laminates and BOPP film.

10.2 µm CO2 Laser Coder for Laminated Cartons
How it works

Built around your product

Coated and laminated packaging responds best to 10.2 µm. The CL-30K gives sharp contrast on glossy pharmaceutical and cosmetic cartons, laminated labels and coated films where 10.6 µm marks look faint.

An RF-excited sealed tube generates the beam, and a galvo scan head writes characters as continuous vector strokes. Choosing the wavelength matters: 10.6 µm suits paper, board, glass and wood; 9.3 µm gives a clean frosted mark on PET bottles; 10.2 µm works well on laminated cartons and coated films.

Key features

  • High contrast on laminated and varnished board
  • Serialisation-ready data handling
  • Works with laser-reactive coatings
  • Small footprint for cartoner integration

Process sequence

Trigger

A sensor detects each pack; the encoder supplies line speed.

Compose

The controller builds the message from real-time date, shift and counter data.

Scribe

The scan head writes the code while the product keeps moving.

Extract

A fume extractor captures ablated ink and dust.

Confirm

A code reader or OCR camera checks presence and legibility.

Questions

Which wavelength should I use on PET bottles?
9.3 µm is the standard choice. It creates a shallow, frosted mark with good contrast and far less risk of thinning the bottle wall than 10.6 µm.
Can CO2 lasers mark bare metal?
Not effectively. Bare metals reflect CO2 wavelengths; use a fiber laser. CO2 does work on painted or anodised metal by removing the coating.
How long does a CO2 tube last?
Sealed RF tubes typically run for tens of thousands of hours before a regas is needed. Service interval depends on duty cycle and cooling.
