In the complex and globalized world of the food industry, the traceability of goods and packaging has become essential to ensure product quality, food safety, and regulatory compliance. This practice, made possible through the use of portable markers and others, improves operational efficiency, promotes environmental sustainability, and helps protect consumers from potential health risks.

Laser marking has become an increasingly widespread technology in many industrial sectors thanks to its ability to engrave and print permanently on a wide range of materials. Both CO2 laser markers and fiber laser markers use the principle of lasers to achieve high-quality results: if you're wondering what materials a laser can cut, how to engrave metal with a laser, or have other questions, read this article to delve into the differences and applications for each type of marking.

Laser marking is suitable for applications requiring precision, durability, and versatility across a wide range of materials, while inkjet marking is more suitable for applications on porous surfaces and for printing text and barcodes. The choice between the two depends on the specific requirements. Let's summarize the five main differences in a table.

Plastics are perfectly suited for laser marking and engraving. The laser sources we provide for this purpose allow for marking on many laserable materials, ensuring a permanent result with excellent quality and finish.

Micropercussion marking is an advanced and reliable technology for permanent product labeling. If you are looking for a precise, durable, and long-lasting marking method, this article will highlight the advantages of this technology to help your business.

We provide CO2 and Fiber Laser engraving machines: there are many plastic and thermoplastic materials that can be marked with laser technology. It should be noted that the marking result depends on the type of polymer, the additives, the type of laser used, and the wavelength employed.

We are pleased to announce that once again this year we participated in the Viscom fair dedicated to visual communication, held in Milan at the Fiera Milano City exhibition center in Rho Fiera from October 4th to 6th. At our stand B12 in hall 12, we presented the Reiner inkjet printer and the Pryor micro-percussion marker, two portable solutions useful for traceability, capable of marking barcodes, QR codes, and variable data directly on packaging.

How Laser Cutting Markers Work
CO2 laser markers operate through a material melting process using the laser, which emits a highly concentrated light that can be used to cut, engrave, and carve a wide range of materials.

We are pleased to announce that Villa & Figlio is the official distributor of Pryor Marking in Italy, a leading brand in marking, product identification, and industrial traceability.

Pryor Marking is a global company that designs and manufactures the world's most comprehensive range of manual and automated marking machines: high-quality, durable products that are ideal for industrial traceability and coding.

How Dot Peen Marking Works
Dot peen marking is a technology that involves the high-frequency vibration of a metal stylus, electronically controlled to engrave a sequence of microdots onto the chosen material, creating alphanumeric characters. It is a useful technique for identifying unique components and can be applied across a wide range of industries, such as automotive, metalworking, and mechanical workshops.

We participated in the IPACK-IMA, a B2B fair dedicated to processing and packaging which took place in Milan at the RhoFiera exhibition center from May 3 to 6: you could find us at stand B25 in hall 4P. This event gave us the opportunity to showcase our solutions for portable inkjet marking:

We have always offered a wide range of products suitable for industrial marking, laser marking, stamping, and inkjet coding. We are now adding an additional service to meet the needs of many industrial and artisanal businesses: as a purchasing option for our machines, we offer operational leasing, which brings numerous benefits from different perspectives. Let's explore them together.

Objects and signage widely use aluminum markers because they are reliable and flexible for engraving aluminum plates, signs, and metal boards.
Aluminum is a widely used and appreciated material for its characteristics, and it is also highly useful in the food industry for the production of cans and containers, where expiration dates and other useful information must be added for consumers, businesses, and regulatory authorities.

For many years, we have offered our clients multiple solutions and laser engraving machines. Each laser cutting machine comes equipped with professional software and a user-friendly interface, ensuring high performance.

Inkjet coding for direct marking is a system that can be used by small and large companies, from the food industry to the pharmaceutical sector, to name just a couple. The ideal field of application for REINER marking devices is the marking of small and medium-sized batches.
