LPC systems highlights surface preparation for aluminium can labelling

Laser Photonics Corporation (LPC), global developer of CleanTech laser systems for laser cleaning and other material applications, is highlighting an application for its industrial laser systems in the beverage packaging industry.

“Our laser systems continue to be adopted in numerous industries due to their versatile and effective nature,” said Wayne Tupuola, CEO of Laser Photonics. “Professionals in the beverage packing industry can expect to enjoy numerous benefits by employing our cutting-edge technology in their existing processes.” 

Laser Photonics laser systems offer professionals in the aluminium canning industry sector a user-friendly, eco-friendly, cost-effective and time-efficient solution for preparing the surface of cans for digitally printed labels, eliminating frequently used single-use plastic labels and shrink sleeves from the waste stream. Laser technology for the surface preparation of cans removes contaminants while simultaneously modifying surface texture for optimum ink adhesion. 

These laser processes help shorten print turnaround times for digital can printers. They also help provide label design flexibility, enabling high-quality finishes such as matte, gloss, and spot varnish, with no limitations when it comes to colour. In addition to all of this, digitally printed cans can still melt into the recycling stream without special handling. More importantly, laser processes don’t expose operators to dangerous processes, harmful substances, or inhalants used during more traditional direct-flame pre-treatment.
