TYKMA Systems Are Ideal for Laser Engraving Food and Food Packaging

The Process of Laser Marking Food

The process of laser engraving food, or “natural branding,” uses a UV laser engraver to create a mark on fruits, vegetables, and a variety of other food products. Laser marking systems can be programmed to engrave barcodes, serial numbers, expiration dates, and even logos onto food.

When using laser marking machines for food, the laser removes pigment from the outer layer of a product’s skin, leaving the food itself intact and unaffected. Some of the foods that can be laser marked include:

Benefits of Using Laser Marking Machines for Food

By laser engraving logos and barcodes onto foods, you remove the need for traditional plastic packaging or label stickers. Not only is laser engraving food more eco-friendly, but natural branding is also toxin-free, safe, and very efficient. Additionally, choosing to use a laser engraving machine to mark food is more cost-efficient in the long run.
