Parkside, a specialty packaging company, has made a further significant investment in state-of-the-art laser equipment to create new business opportunities.

Its latest laser investment enables laser scoring across two sides of a single film or laminate to create easy-open and reclose pack designs. The laser technology can be used across a variety of packaging applications from flexible packaging to easy-peel vented lidding for ready meal packs. Usable on both mono materials and multi-layer laminates, it delivers a controlled score depth at varying web speeds, whilst maintaining the overall integrity of the film or pack. Precise and high-quality score lines and depths of any shape and size are achieved to create reliable easy-open features that consistently tear along the designated scoreline.

Parkside has developed a number of easy-open and reclosable packaging designs in recent months and aims to build on its portfolio with the new laser investment.

Installed at Parkside’s Normanton facility in West Yorkshire, the new equipment is the second laser scribing machine to be based at the UK site and also creates a number of new employee roles at the company.
