Laser Cutting Packaging

High-quality packaging is not just for the safe storage of products, it is also for their presentation. The packaging often plays just as much of a role in the customer’s decision of what to purchase as the product itself. Packaging should always be attractively designed, protect the product, make it possible to transport and be simple to open.

The production of packaging with a laser cutter is extremely efficient. Whether it’s engraved glass for flacons, functionally or artistically cut paper or laser-cut acrylic packaging for particularly classy products or bottles – with the modern laser machines from JustLaser, you can cut and engrave a number of materials in the packaging industry quickly and precisely. Furthermore, you can also benefit from a low investment risk, high productivity and convincing results.

The efficient laser cutters from JustLaser have proven to be an extremely beneficial tool in packaging design, where different materials, a wide variety of requirements and design ideas all meet each other. From prototype construction to individual and serial production – packaging production with a laser cutter will surprise you with its precision, flexibility and speed. The quality is unchanged and remains high. JustLaser laser machines are suitable for the following applications:

• Packaging
• Cutting paper, paperboard and cardboard to measure
• Cutting plastics (especially acrylic and PET), metal, wood and other solid materials
• Foam inserts
• Styrofoam
• Glass work such as engraving perfume bottles and other bottles
• Laser marking packaging for tracing purposes, etc.

WHICH MATERIALS CAN BE PROCESSED USING LASER MACHINES?

A wide variety of materials can be processed quickly and efficiently when producing packaging with a laser cutter. Although paper, plastic and paperboard still make up the majority of packaging, other materials are suitable for its production:

• Metallised packaging film
• Metal film
• Wood
• Acrylic, Plexiglas, etc.

A wide variety of processes are used when it comes to making packaging with laser cutter in order to put creative and practical storage options into effect quickly and efficiently.

• Laser engraving: in laser engraving, a product is given a permanent and abrasion-resistant engraving. To achieve this, a material is heated by a laser so much that its surface is vaporised. The laser machines from JustLaser provide a large degree of artistic freedom. 
• Laser cutting: in this method, material in the cutting gap is sublimated, i.e. vaporised, by a laser, creating a fine cut. “Normal” patterns (such as those which can be created using cutting dies) can be cut quickly and easily for the packaging industry, and unusual shapes can also be produced. The laser can quickly pay for itself, especially with small lot sizes and low throughput time requirements.
• Surface finishing: whether it’s perforating, scoring or grooving – surface finishing is used for the visual and haptic design and structuring of a wide variety of materials. Make use of the process and design creative packaging!
