Laser Perforation
Incorporating laser perforation into flexible packaging can help to extend the shelf life of fresh food or can help to create features such as easy opening.
Laser perforation delivers a controlled score depth for tear initiation and guided tear but also maintains a controlled gas or moisture barrier.
Our in-line process ensures efficiency, and individual laser patterns can be produced in register with the print design.
This enhancement does not require modifications to your packaging line.
