Method for laser machining easy open, tear flexible packaging

摘要

A method for producing an easy open, easy tear package formed of flexible single layer or multi-layered material using a laser. The user configures a microprocessor with the sheet size, score pattern, and material parameters. The microprocessor controls the laser to score the film material to a depth less than a full depth of the material. The microprocessor modulates the laser to create tear initiation areas at predetermined locations precisely on the score line, so as to create a starting point for initiating a tear to open the package along the score line after the package is sealed.
