Let’s Rethink Softgel Printing: A Safe and Efficient Ink Printing Alternative

Our customers are often surprised to learn that soft gelatin capsules are durable enough to be laser marked. Edible ink rotogravure printing methods have long been the standard for printing on consumable products. However, for some products, laser marking has significant benefits when compared to ink printing.

In fact, laser marking is a safe and efficient alternative to ink printing that makes softgels stand out with a high quality, tamper-proof mark while minimizing operational costs and maintenance.

Benefits of Laser Marking

  • Branding – Differentiate from the competition
  • Identification – Improve safety and traceability
  • Compliance – Adhere to regulation
  • High Quality – Sharp, clean and permanent indelible mark
  • Reduced Operational Cost – Less clean up, maintenance and operator involvement
  • Flexibility – The size of the mark, or the mark itself, can easily be changed in the recipe
  • Durability – Mark on any surface
