The laser's versatility makes it an important tool in the packaging industry, instrumental in processes from samplemaking - creasing is substituted by precise ablating of material at reduced laser power - to dieboard cutting in a variety of base materials (multiplex, plastics).

When quantities are too low to justify steel rule die cutting, the laser can do the job. Combined with an optical recognition system, the laser is turned into a digital die-cutting system and precise control of the laser's power lends it equally to the cut and the kiss-cut.
