CO₂ Laser Coding Machine for Bottles and Cartons
The ZONESUN ZS-LMC1 is a CO₂ laser marking machine for applying dates, batch numbers, text, logos, QR codes and barcodes to compatible packaging materials. It provides inkless coding for applications such as PET bottles and coated cartons, with material suitability and marking quality confirmed through sample testing.
The machine features air cooling, red-light positioning and a 10.1-inch color touchscreen. An optional conveyor can be discussed for an inline packaging setup. Select the wavelength, marking field and installation arrangement according to your packaging material, code size and production speed.
Key Benefits
- Inkless coding: applies laser markings without ink cartridges.
- Flexible marking content: supports dates, batch information, graphics and machine-readable codes for compatible applications.
- Touchscreen operation: a 10.1-inch color display provides access to operating settings and multilingual controls.
- Positioning assistance: red-light positioning and focusing help set the marking location.
- Configuration options: listed wavelengths and marking fields allow the proposed setup to be matched to the application.
- Conveyor option: discuss product transport and integration when planning a production-line installation.

Applications and Material Compatibility
The ZS-LMC1 is intended for coding compatible bottles, cartons and other nonmetal materials. Potential applications listed for this model include PET, acrylic, glass, leather, selected plastics, cloth and rubber. Material grade, coatings, additives and surface finish can change the marking result; suitability must be verified on a sample.
- PET bottles: production dates, batch codes and other packaging information, subject to bottle and wavelength testing.
- Coated cartons: text, batch information, logos and codes where the surface produces sufficient contrast.
- Other compatible nonmetal products: application-specific marking after sample evaluation.
Send the exact material specification and required marking result before ordering. For metal components or unfamiliar substrates, ask ZONESUN to recommend the appropriate laser technology based on a sample.
How the Laser Coding Process Works
- Confirm the material: test the actual packaging to establish marking suitability.
- Prepare the marking content: define the required text, date, batch number, logo or code.
- Set the marking position: adjust the working position and focus for the selected configuration.
- Set operating parameters: tune the settings for the material and required mark.
- Mark and inspect: check position, contrast and legibility; verify QR codes and barcodes with the intended reader.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ZS-LMC1 used for?
It is used for CO₂ laser coding of dates, batch numbers, text, logos, QR codes and barcodes on compatible packaging and other suitable nonmetal materials.
Does this machine require ink?
No marking ink or ink cartridges are required. The laser creates the mark on the compatible material surface.
Can it mark every plastic or glass product?
Compatibility varies with the material composition, coating and selected wavelength. Send actual samples to confirm the marking result rather than choosing only by the general material name.
Can it mark 20,000 PET bottles per hour?
The existing product specification lists 20,000 bottles/h as a PET bottle reference speed. Achievable speed for your application must be verified using your bottle, marking content and line arrangement.
Are all three wavelengths included?
The product lists 9.3, 10.2 and 10.6 μm as wavelength options. Confirm the selected laser configuration in the quotation; do not assume all options are supplied together.
Is the conveyor included?
The conveyor is listed as optional. Confirm whether it is included, and provide bottle or carton dimensions and your transport requirements.
Can it produce scannable QR codes and barcodes?
QR codes and barcodes are listed marking applications. Scan performance depends on the code dimensions, material contrast and marking quality. Test the required code on your actual packaging with the intended scanner.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Send your material sample or specification, marking artwork, required code size, target speed, conveyor arrangement, voltage and destination country through the chat window.
