At INFO*FLEX, Field Product Manager Viviane Ramsey will show how Sun Chemical’s SunLase™ laser marking solutions can allow variable coding graphic information, such as barcodes, QR codes, and “Use By” dates or branding, to be created using a low power CO2 or fiber laser to change the color of a pre-printed coating patch to black where marked, with no risks to the packaged product. Her presentation is entitled, “Cleaner. Faster. Better Laser Marking Systems by Sun Chemical” and will take place on Monday, May 4 at 3 p.m.

Field product manager Helen Rallis will also discuss Sun Chemical’s SunInspire sensory coatings line, which offers special effects that allow a customers’ product packaging to stand out on store shelves visually through high luster metallic, fluorescent, glitter, pearlescent, as well as iridescent finishes.
