In an effort to address sustainability challenges in packaging and manufacturing, FOBA has unveiled its V-Series laser marking systems, providing an eco-friendly replacement for traditional labeling methods like continuous inkjet (CIJ) and tampon printing. The V-Series offers high-performance laser marking that eliminates the need for consumables, reduces waste, and ensures long-lasting, high-contrast markings on a wide range of materials.
Traditional marking systems rely heavily on consumables such as inks, solvents, and pads, which contribute to waste and recurring costs. Mechanical issues and frequent maintenance also increase downtime and operating expenses. The V-Series circumvents these issues entirely by operating without consumables, significantly reducing costs and environmental impact. Equipped with UV and green lasers, the system creates precise, durable marks on polymers, metals, ceramics, and colored plastics like ABS, PET, and HDPE. These marks are resistant to wear and guarantee long-term readability.
The V-Series is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing production lines. Its compact structure and flexible connectivity options make it easy to replace CIJ or tampon printers with minimal modifications, offering manufacturers a cost-effective, space-saving alternative.
Philipp Febel, Director of Product Strategy & Customer Experience at FOBA, highlighted the system’s benefits: “The V-Series offers manufacturers a high-performance, sustainable alternative to traditional marking technologies. With 4-watt UV and 10-watt green lasers, it provides versatile marking capabilities while eliminating consumables. This reduces operating costs, minimizes waste, and supports manufacturers in meeting sustainability targets.”
FOBA positions the V-Series as a solution for manufacturers striving to enhance production efficiency while achieving sustainability goals. With its durable, sharp markings and environmentally responsible design, the system sets a new benchmark for marking technology.
For manufacturers seeking to modernize their operations with greener and more resilient solutions, the V-Series represents a versatile, durable, and cost-saving option aligned with the packaging industry’s commitment to sustainability.
