Professional Laser Date Code Marking Solution
Date codes are essential information for modern product packaging.Manufacturers use date marking to display production dates, expiration dates, batch information and product tracking data.
Traditional inkjet printing has been widely used for date coding applications.However, increasing production requirements have created demand for cleaner, more reliable and lower-maintenance marking solutions.
Laser date code marking technology provides a permanent and efficient alternative.The laser beam directly creates marks on packaging surfaces without ink, solvents or additional consumables.
JQ Laser develops customized date code marking machines for different industries, including food processing, beverage production, pharmaceutical manufacturing and consumer products.
