Laser Marking for Packaging - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

Laser Marking for Packaging is a device that uses laser (CO₂ or optical fiber, wavelength 10.6 μm or 1.06 μm) to mark information on packaging materials. It has a power of 10-100 W, a marking speed of >1000 characters/s, and a resolution of<0.1 mm. It is widely used in food, medicine, and daily chemical packaging. It generates permanent marks by laser beam ablation or discoloration (depth<0.05 mm), supporting QR codes, barcodes, and production dates. For example, in food packaging, the device marks batch numbers on PET bottles (contrast >80%); in pharmaceutical packaging, it marks anti-counterfeiting codes (misreading rate<0.01%). Manufacturing requires passing marking accuracy tests (deviation<0.02 mm) and durability analysis (continuous operation >5000 hours).

The advantages of the device are high precision and environmental protection, and supporters believe that it improves packaging traceability. For example, laser marking requires no consumables (saving >90% ink compared to inkjet printing); its non-contact operation avoids material damage (deformation rate<0.1%). However, critics point out that the equipment is sensitive to materials (highly reflective materials such as aluminum foil are poorly marked,<50% contrast); the laser life is limited (<20,000 hours); and high-speed operation may produce thermal effects (temperature >100°C) that affect plastic packaging (deformation rate >0.5%).

In the future, equipment may focus more on adaptability and life. Developing multi-wavelength lasers (compatible with metals and plastics) and long-life light sources (target >30,000 hours) may improve performance; the potential in the packaging field includes supporting degradable material marking and smart packaging (dynamic QR codes). But the industry needs to address the challenges of material compatibility (target contrast >90%) and thermal effect control (target temperature<80°C).
