Laser marking using CO₂ gas lasers are most common type of laser marking.
CO₂ lasers are used to mark various organic materials like paper, cardboard, leather, wood, plastic, glass etc. CO₂ lasers can print best before dates on PET bottles, plastic packaging, paper packaging and even on glass. The main advatage of CO₂ lasers over other technologies used in food
packaging marking is lack of need for consumables - while using CO₂
lasers to mark their production manufacturers don't need to order ink
or any other consumables. The only resource needed to use CO₂ laser to mark your production is electricity.

Disregarding that CO₂ laser
purchase price is higher than CIJ inkjet purchase price in long term
it's proven to be more economic industrial marking technology and main
beverage companies are changing their equipment from CIJ inkjets to
lasers.

Most common myth
about laser marking vs CIJ marking is that lasers have to change
light source and cost of this replacement is more expensive than gain
of economy in ink.
Calculations have proven
than even if laser have to change light source after 3 - 4 year
operation in 2 shift production plant it's still more economical than
CIJ in the same time of period.
For instance
in average light source change for CO₂ laser cost the same as annual
ink cost for CIJ inkjet printer or even less depending on usage and
production values - as higher is production value, as higher gain from
switching to laser marking from inkjet marking manufacturer will get.
