Why Laser Printing?

Laser printing, also referred to as laser etching, laser marking or laser writing, is used in the pharmaceutical industry to imprint a logo or other identifying mark onto the surface of a soft gel capsule or tablet. In the pharmaceutical industry, it’s important that your products be clearly labeled. Our printers allow you to add your name, logo, dosage, or any other identifying information to your products. With pinpoint precision, the quality and crispness of our laser printers is unparalleled.

We manufacture custom laser printing machines of all types. Our machines can be equipped with UV lasers, C02 lasers, or Air Cooled lasers, depending on your specific needs and the product that will be etched.
