UV LASER CODING ON FILM: THE REAL ALTERNATIVE TO TTO
UV laser coding on flexible film has become the real alternative to TTO for packaging applications that require sharp, permanent codes. Production lines working with plastic film often rely on TTO technologies that require ribbons and cause frequent downtime, increasing costs and affecting coding stability.
However, TTO systems present significant limitations: recurring consumable costs, machine stoppages for ribbon replacement, variations in print quality, and environmental impact.
The challenge
Coding on flexible film with TTO equipment requires the use of ribbons, causes frequent stoppages, and demands constant maintenance. This increases costs and makes it difficult to maintain consistent coding quality. The industry needs a more efficient alternative, without consumables and with continuous performance.
The Macsa id solution
iLumiFlex integrates directly where a TTO system is currently installed and transforms the coding process:
- Direct replacement of TTO without modifying the machine
- Cold UV coding, permanent and high-contrast
- Complete elimination of consumables
- Reduced maintenance and increased line continuity
- Uniform performance even on sensitive or recyclable films
