Laser Marking Machine India | CO2, Fiber & UV Industrial Laser Coders

Permanent laser coding with zero consumables — for plastic, metal, glass & film

Videojet laser marking machines deliver permanent, smudge-proof codes on plastic, metal, glass, and film — with zero consumable cost and zero line stoppages. Trusted by FMCG, pharma, and automotive manufacturers across India for expiry date printing, batch coding, serialisation, and part marking.

Laser marking machines offer advantages such as excellent mark quality, code permanence, and fewer consumables than other coding technologies. The Videojet line of laser marking machines includes CO2 laser markers, fiber laser markers, and UV laser markers in different power outputs to address a range of substrates and applications. In addition, Videojet offers a complete portfolio of laser accessories including lenses and beam turning units that help simplify integration into production lines and help maximize the laser’s performance.

Why manufacturers choose laser marking

  • Zero consumables — no ink, solvent, or ribbon; lowest long-term operating cost per code
  • Permanent, tamper-proof codes — codes cannot be wiped, smudged, or altered after marking
  • Non-contact printing — no physical contact with the product surface; no contamination risk
  • High-speed inline operation — marks at full conveyor speed without stopping the production line
  • Minimal maintenance — sealed beam path; no printhead cleaning or solvent top-ups required
  • GS1 and 2D code ready — prints DataMatrix, QR codes, and barcodes with high scan accuracy for pharma serialisation and supply chain traceability

Videojet CO2 lasers

CO2 laser marking systems are a type of laser equipment used primarily for engraving, marking, or etching a wide range of materials. CO2 lasers are particularly effective on non-metal materials like plastic, glass, flexible film, labels, paperboard, and wood. CO2 lasers are widely used by Indian FMCG, dairy, pharma, and packaging manufacturers for expiry date printing, batch coding, and MRP marking on PET bottles, aluminium cans, cartons, and flexible packaging.

Videojet fiber lasers

Fiber laser marking machines are the preferred choice for stainless steel marking in India — delivering permanent part identification, serial numbers, and traceability codes for automotive, pharma, and engineering manufacturers. Fiber lasers also excel on aluminium, brass, titanium, high-density plastic, ceramic, and foil. They are also ideal for many high-density plastic, ceramic, foil, and film applications.

Videojet UV lasers

UV lasers are highly effective at marking on a wide range of materials, including plastic, films and foils, ceramic, and rubber. UV lasers employ a shorter ultraviolet wavelength and lower power compared to fiber and CO2 lasers. With their ability to create high-contrast marks using minimal heat, they are particularly useful for sensitive materials like flexible packaging and glass.

FAQs

What is industrial laser marking?

Industrial laser marking uses focused laser beams to permanently etch, engrave, ablate or anneal variable information, such as barcodes, serial numbers, and logos, onto various materials like metals, plastics, and glass. Lasers offers sharp, clear marks that are resistant to wear, ensuring durability and product or part traceability. They can be quickly integrated into production lines for efficient, real-time marking without damaging products. Ideal for manufacturers seeking enhanced product identification and compliance, laser marking can help improve overall efficiency and quality control in the production process.

What is the difference between CO2 and fiber laser marking?

CO2 lasers are best for non-metal substrates — plastic, glass, film, paperboard, and wood. Fiber lasers are best for metals — stainless steel, aluminium, brass, and titanium. For mixed substrate requirements, consult a Videojet specialist.

Which laser marking machine is best for stainless steel?

Fiber laser marking machines are the preferred technology for stainless steel marking. Videojet fiber lasers deliver permanent, high-contrast part identification, serial numbers, and traceability codes on stainless steel — used widely in automotive, pharma, and engineering industries.

Can laser marking machines print expiry dates and batch codes?

Yes. Videojet CO2 laser systems are widely used for expiry date printing, MFD coding, batch number marking, and MRP printing on FMCG and pharmaceutical packaging — without ink or ribbon consumables.

Does laser marking require ink or consumables?

No. Laser marking is a consumable-free technology. Unlike CIJ or TTO systems, laser markers do not require ink, solvent, or ribbon. This results in lower long-term operating costs and eliminates consumable procurement and storage.

What materials can be laser marked?

Videojet laser systems can mark plastic, glass, metal (stainless steel, aluminium, brass, titanium), flexible film, foil, paperboard, wood, rubber, and ceramic — depending on the laser type (CO2, fiber, or UV).
