2. Agenda Using laser to code on cartons Commercial benefits of laser coding Technical advantages of laser coding Application validation Background information

3. Coding on Corrugated Outer Cases Today the majority of the coding applications on corrugated cartons are using two technologies: –Pre-printed cartons from the corrugated converter –Thermal print and apply labels –Large character inkjet printing Laser is also a proven technology for the packaging industry but hasn’t typically been used to print on cardboard boxes. The combination of the new high performance laser and a laser sensitive ink allows the right application to benefit from these technologies.

4. Commercial Benefits of Laser coding Reducing significantly the downtime of the production line. No consumables besides filters. Very limited maintenance. Reduced SKU storage costs by laser customising cases Environmental and cost benefits by removing the need to dispose backing liner. Long life laser source – for permanent long term savings. High speed laser provides a very attractive Cost per Code.

5. Key Technical Benefits Consistent high quality barcodes and logos print to meet supply chain responsibilities. The fastest processing Laser to meet production labelling speeds. An improved software allows typical barcode label printing speeds of 1 second. Wide printing window allows to print up to 405 mm x 385 mm at fast production rates. Maximum production throughput due to Highest Performance

6. External communication through Ethernet Handheld or touch screen control one or multiple lines Key Technical Benefits Label design software Simple User Interface to Remove coding errors
