Sustainable Labelling for Bottles in the Food and Beverage Industry
Three industry leaders unite to showcase the innovation of laser marking for bottle labeling in the food and beverage sector. Couldn’t make the date? Sign up anyway and we will send you an on demand copy after the event.
MERCK
Laser marking represents a sustainable and consistent method for uniquely labelling your packaging. Using lasers to mark plastics is contact-free and creates the markings within the material. The use of laser-sensitive pigments enables a fast and reliable process.
We have obtained regulatory clearance from the US FDA - Food Contact Notification (FCN), for a variety of our effect and laser pigments. With the FCN, you can not only make your food and beverage packaging more appealing and replace traditional labels, but also be safe at the same time.
Discover how to achieve permanent, reliable, and high-quality individual markings with our laser-sensitive pigments.
REPI
REPI is willing to promote a solution to efficiently mark plastic products with very low thicknesses, like bottles. The high value raw material turned into liquid technology is the perfect combination to reach the desired performances, together with the intrinsic benefits of liquids: excellent dispersion, accurate dosage, simplified logistic and possibility to blend with other colours or additives.
A range of products for IR laser marking is being introduced, based on different active phase generations.
