Trust Laser is a laser equipment manufacturer

British retailer Marks & Spencer has launched a new laser marking method to mark avocados in hopes of reducing paper waste. Switching from paper adhesive labels to laser printing can save 10 tons of labels & backing paper and 5 tons of adhesive each year.
Avocados are harvested in their place of origin, classified according to their source, and then shipped to the UK. Upon arrival, the ripe avocados are placed in a tray and sent to a conveyor belt, and the information is marked by a laser.
The laser marking will be printed on the outer layer of the avocado with the retailer's logo, the best date to eat, the country of origin, and the cash register code. M & S claims that strong light hits the skin of the fruit, it will only make the outer skin peel off and fade, it is not destructive to the fruit, and the operation can be very precise.
Fruit technology experts said, "Given that all the practices on avocado are successful, we can extend this laser tag technology to a variety of other fruits and vegetables. We will have the opportunity to reduce the product exponentially The waste of packaging is very exciting. "
In recent years, laser marking technology has been used more and more widely in fruits. Some imported fruits or local fruits with a certain brand, in order to highlight the brand awareness, will put a label on the surface of the fruit, indicating the brand, origin and other information. And this kind of label is easy to be torn or forged. Laser marking technology can mark on the peel, not only will not destroy the pulp inside the fruit, but also play a role of anti-counterfeiting, unique and innovative.
