DataLase Casemark is a non contact laser imaging process meaning that there is no physically or thermally induced print head wear.
It can be applied directly to the secondary packaging substrate so that the laser marked image becomes integral to the pack.
Moreover, wastage is reduced as there is no label backing to dispose of.
The DataLase Casemark coating is available in chemical resistant, tamper resistant and tamper evident format.
