Benefits of laser perforation for easy ventilation

• Precise control over size and numbers
   of perforations
• Small perforations with crack-proof
   edges
• Can be used to create Easy Tear-off
   applications
• Minimal wear and tear in the
   production process
• High process reliability

   

Easy Ventilation – micro-air-holes enhance shelf-life of food

In perishable foods packaging, quality and shelf life depend on a balance between air circulation and preservation of humidity. For adequate perforation of the packaging, ROFIN lasers offer significant advantages over conventional processes, such as needles or flame: Based on 25 years of experience in laser perforation, ROFIN uses CO2 lasers with high pulse intensities to perforate all layers of the packaging material. The micromelted edge of each hole prevents microfissures that could damage the packaging integrity.

Perforation is also suitable for pressure exchange function, like in packages for microwave meals. With strong packaging materials such as PE/PE combinations, Laser Perforation can even create perforation lines with 5 to 50 holes/cm for easytear- off applications. Laser Perforation
