Cosmetic, Personal, and Home Care Packing Challenges Solved by KEYENCE UV Laser Coder Technology

Fading Ink on Packaging Materials

Ink fading or unreadable marks on films and other packaging materials can be eliminated. The FP-1000 Series produces long-lasting, highly visible markings that remain intact.

UV lasers are not affected by traditional causes of marking that fades away:

Oil

Powder

Alcohol

Heat sterilization

Conventional thermal printer

Costly Production Downtime

Frequent interruptions for ribbon or thermal head replacement can halt production, resulting in costly delays. The FP-1000 Series' non-contact, consumable-free design minimizes these stoppages, ensuring continuous production.

    More production in the same amount of operation time
  • 2
    Less operation time for the same production volume

No downtime for cleaning

No downtime for replacement

Costly Consumables

TTO printing in the cosmetics, personal, and home care industries can be costly. The FP-1000 Series eliminates consumables and periodic part replacements, cutting overall costs.

Cost reduction example:
With film costs of 0.04 dollars/sheet, 350 sheets of film wasted/day at a product unit price of 1 dollar/item and with product waste of 10 items/day, operating for 25 days a month.

Environmental Waste

Many coding methods generate waste from consumables like ribbons or inks. With the FP-1000 Series' consumable-free technology, businesses can significantly reduce their environmental impact.

Disposal loss simulation:
For a facility that replaces four ink ribbons per day, operating at 25 days per month will lead to disposal of 1,200 ink ribbons per year. At 500 grams 17.65 oz per ink ribbon, 1,200 ink ribbons would equal 600 kilograms 1322.76 lb, or about 1.2 tons of CO2 emissions upon disposal. UV laser coders, however, do not use ink ribbons, so the CO2 emissions can be reduced to zero.
