How is Easy Opening Packaging processed with laser technology?

The MLT laser process creates a precise material weakening that facilitates opening of the package. Extremely fine structures in the hundredths-of-a-millimeter range are introduced into the packaging material without contact and with high repeatability.

For multilayer films, only the outer layer is selectively processed. The properties of the remaining layers remain unchanged, ensuring that important barrier functions are fully preserved.

As a result, the packaging can be opened easily by hand while maintaining full product quality.

What are the applications for Easy Opening Packaging?

Wherever controlled opening and consumer convenience are required, laser technology offers significant advantages for both packaging and the consumer.

Typical applications include dairy products, cereals, coffee products, pet food, detergents and cleaning products, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products.
