PHOTONIC printing solutions specialist DataLase has announced plans to make its exhibition return at UK Packaging Expo 2025, taking place at Manchester Central from September 3-4.
The company revealed it will demonstrate how its photonic printing technology is helping brands reduce waste, improve traceability, and meet environmental targets.
DataLase will showcase a live laser activation system, allowing visitors to experience its technology first-hand. Using its inkless coding technology, the system will show how brands can code at the point of packaging without inks. The system uses focused laser light to create high-contrast, permanent codes directly onto packaging surfaces, without the need for traditional inks.
DataLase described the systems as ‘fast, clean, low-maintenance and capable of on-the-spot, inkless variable data printing in real-time’. From batch numbers and expiry dates to barcodes and traceability codes, the solution works across a variety of substrates and applications.
Paul Dustain, CSMO at DataLase, said, “It’s an exciting time for us to be back on the exhibition circuit and supporting our northern colleagues at UK Packaging Expo. This event provides us with a valuable opportunity to meet new contacts and reconnect with long-standing customers, while showcasing the sustainable benefits of our technology – benefits that have been delivering real-world value across multiple industries for decades.”
