Laser
marking

Our innovative technology allows us to use laser-systems for applications that were previously impossible due to the constraints of standard laser-systems. We can extend the focus depth of a laser-beam without losing power, allowing for higher speed, larger print area and flexibility on the shape of objects that need marking.

Our Products

Inner-crown-pic 1

Inner Crown

Inphocal’s laser marking technology brings a unique edge to inner crown branding by providing precise, clear markings on the interior of bottle caps. Perfect for promotional messages, batch numbers, or hidden codes, these markings are resistant to wear and remain legible over time. This innovative approach adds value to your product while offering a clean and efficient alternative to traditional methods.

Top-of-can-pic 1

Top of Can

Inphocal’s laser marking system revolutionizes the way cans are branded by delivering precision markings directly on the top surface. Ideal for beverage and food industries, this innovative solution ensures high-speed, non-contact printing that is both durable and eco-friendly. The result is a crisp, clear, and permanent mark that enhances traceability, branding, and customization, all while maintaining the integrity of the can.

Top of Crown

For bottle closures, Inphocal offers unparalleled laser marking on the top of crowns (bottle caps). This application ensures accurate, high-quality marks ideal for promotional codes, expiration dates, or branding. Our advanced technology allows for quick, reliable marking without the use of consumables, making it a sustainable solution for high-volume production lines in the beverage industry.

3x faster than inkjet
10x faster than laser

Our advanced laser beam technology goes beyond the current state of the art and make things possible that were not possible before. We can therefore outperform inkjet on all relevant parameters such as speed and amount of print by a factor of almost 3 times. Compared to current laser technology, we can outperform that by almost 10 times. It can also be easily integrated in existing production facilities. On top of that: it’s capable of printing on a variety of materials, including organic materials such as fruit.

With our patented technology, we can not only match but actually outperform even the state of the art inkjet systems.
We can write all the required information without having to use any consumable like ink. We can do this just as fast on any kind of surface, flat and curved.

Our Technology

a-magnifying-glass-focal-depth

a magnifying glass focal depth

The best way to explain how our technology works is by comparing it to a magnifying glass. If you want to burn a hole in a piece of paper, you need to position the paper exactly in the focus point of the magnifying glass.

small-focal-depth

small focal depth

Move the paper a bit closer to or further away from the glass and the light will still hit the paper, but it won’t burn a hole in the paper any more. Normal laser systems work the same way. If you want to make the laser do anything with the object it’s hitting, like marking or cutting, it needs to be exactly at the focus point of the laser and the margin of error is less than 1 mm.

With our technology, we can increase this margin of error, or rather the range where the object needs to be by several hundred times!

Our Applications

CURVED SURFACES

Imagine being able to print on a curved surface like a bottle, a golf ball or an egg, without needing additional focus or pixel corrections! Our unique process enables us to print on curved surfaces with the same speed and accuracy as others can on flat surfaces only. This means that you can now mark or brand your products in new ways, without sacrificing your production line velocity.

NEW MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES

Branding is an essential element of any business, large or small. It’s what sets your company apart from the competition and helps customers remember your products or services. The wider reach of the printing area means you can include more branding elements, in areas that are hard to print on with conventional printers. For example, you can now brand fruits, vegetables or even eggs directly on their peel, without a need for plastic stickers, and most importantly – without compromising on the speed of your production line. This new way of inkless branding fits really well on the current market, which is continuously craving more sustainable packaging solutions. By taking advantage of the novel ink-less branding opportunities afforded by our patented laser technology, you can give your business a distinct edge in the marketplace.

Sustainability

inPhocal’s plug-in solution not only enables a much needed transition to inkless marking and coding, it also significantly reduces the energy consumption. InPhocal’s laser systems consume up to 50x less energy compared to the conventional inkjet technologies. Make your production line future-proof with inPhocal’s sustainable solutions.

Increased Production

The inPhocal laser is a cutting-edge technology that can increase production while reducing downtime. Unlike traditional printing methods, the inPhocal laser uses a focused beam of light to cut through or print on a material. This makes it possible to produce intricate designs with clean, precise edges. In addition, the inPhocal laser is much faster than other printing methods, making it possible to increase production without sacrificing quality. And because there is no ink involved, there is no need for nozzle replacement or messy cleanups. As a result, the inPhocal laser is an ideal solution for businesses that need to increase production without incurring additional costs.

EASY INTEGRATION

Ease of integration is an important factor to consider when choosing a new production line component. The integration of inPhocal’s laser solution is straightforward and can be accomplished without alterations in most production lines. Book a demo at our lab and our technicians will show you how our laser systems work, and in what ways they can be integrated into your already existing production line – without unnecessary downtime or extra costs.
