3C! Packaging: Laser imaging coating
Clear Code optimizes production line speeds while enriching visual quality.

3C! Packaging introduces a new coating for coding applications called Clear Code, which offers high precision, functionality, and consistency without intruding upon limited design and product information space.

Achieved with the support of DataLase and Domino Amjet, Clear Code is a next-generation system employing an industrial CO2 laser, which works with a clear coating by causing a color change reaction to produce a positive contrast image. The result is enhanced clarity and contrast.

Clear Code avoids marking techniques that require printed dark blocks to decode laser-etched information. The process successfully achieves an accurate, opaque image. As such, the Clear Code process requires no inks, ribbons, applicators, or other costly consumables, simplifying the process and making it more cost-effective and eco-friendly.
