Ciba has launched an innovative laser-marking solution that allows paper and packaging to be printed with a low-power CO2 laser. Applied to the substrate in coatable or ink form by the paper manufacturer or converter, Ciba® PERGAMARK™ is the first non-pigmented solution on the market, enabling transparent coating of substrates. When marked by a laser at point of printing, it yields a more stable, higher-contrast black image than alternative methods such as inkjet or thermal printing, even on curved and other complex surfaces. Variable data such as “best before” dates, serial numbers and addresses can be printed on demand – and at high speed – in the final stage of the packaging process. Environmental and process benefits include all non-toxic additives, no ink or grime at point of printing and no need for solvents in the packaging line. All components of PERGAMARK are in line with food contact regulations.
