In the sanitary products industry, information such as the production date, batch number, and expiration date on product packaging is crucial. It is not only related to the safety of consumers, but also a basic requirement for corporate compliance operations. Although the traditional ink jet coding method is widely used, it has problems such as easy to fall off, easy to tamper with, and pollute the environment. In contrast, UV laser marking machines are becoming a better solution for date marking on sanitary product packaging due to their high precision, durability, and environmental protection characteristics.
一、Pain points of traditional inkjet printing
- Easy to fall off and blur: inkjet printing is affected by factors such as humidity and friction, and is easy to fade or blur, affecting the readability of product information.
- Easy to tamper with: some inks can be erased by chemical solvents, and there is a risk of malicious tampering, affecting product traceability and anti-counterfeiting.
- Pollution of the environment: ink contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which may affect the production environment and the health of operators, and is not in line with the trend of green manufacturing.二、Core advantages of CYCJET UV laser coding machine
- High precision and high definition
The wavelength of UV laser is short (usually 355nm) and the focused spot is extremely small. It can achieve fine marking on various materials (such as plastics, films, aluminum foil, etc.). Even tiny fonts or complex barcodes can be clearly presented to ensure that the information is readable for a long time.
- Permanent marking, anti-counterfeiting and anti-tampering
Laser marking changes the surface structure of the material by physical means. The marked content cannot be easily erased or modified, which effectively eliminates the risk of product information being tampered with and enhances brand reputation and consumer trust.
- Environmentally friendly and pollution-free
Laser marking does not require consumables such as ink and solvents, does not produce harmful gases or waste, and complies with EU RoHS, REACH and other environmental regulations, helping companies achieve green production.
- High efficiency and low consumption, reducing overall costs
The UV laser marking machine runs fast and can seamlessly connect to automated production lines, reducing manual intervention. Although the initial equipment investment is high, in the long run, it saves the cost of consumables such as ink and nozzle replacement, and the overall cost of use is lower.
三、 Flying laser marking machines are widely used in various types of sanitary product packaging:
- Sanitary napkins, diapers: clearly mark the production date and batch number on PE film, non-woven fabrics and other materials.
- Wet wipes, disinfectant cotton pads: achieve high adhesion marking on aluminum foil bags or plastic packaging.
- Medical dressings, masks: meet the strict requirements of the medical industry for sterile and durable marking.四、 Future Trends: Intelligence and Traceability
With the development of Industry 4.0, UV laser marking machines can be combined with MES (Manufacturing Execution System), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), etc. to achieve dynamic coding and full traceability of product information, helping enterprises improve their quality management level.
In short, in the hygiene products industry, the clarity, durability and environmental friendliness of packaging information directly affect the brand image and consumer experience. With its excellent performance, high-speed laser marking machines are gradually replacing traditional inkjet technology and becoming the new industry standard. Choosing UV laser marking is not only a technology upgrade, but also an investment in corporate social responsibility and long-term competitiveness.
