CYCJET launched the LU5T UV laser printer for flexible packaging labeling, targeting compliance with China's GB 7718-2025 standard. The company announced the product on October 16, 2026, according to GlobeNewswire. The device uses 355 nm laser technology for high-contrast marking on colored films, eliminating thermal transfer tapes and reducing maintenance costs.

How the LU5T UV Laser Printer Works

CYCJET, a brand of Shanghai Yuchang Industrial Co., Ltd., designed the LU5T for high-contrast coding on transparent films, aluminum foil and colored composite films, with integration into production lines. The printer uses 355 nm laser technology for precise marking on flexible packaging.

The LU5T operates without consumables, eliminating thermal transfer tapes and reducing consumable material costs, printhead wear and maintenance. Its low-temperature processing minimizes thermal impact, reducing the risk of film damage and helping protect packaging properties. A galvanometer scanning system and high-speed controls allow precise marking of dates, batch numbers and GS1 QR codes on automated production lines.

China published the GB 7718-2025 standard on March 16, 2025, with entry into force planned for March 16, 2027. CYCJET said the printer helps companies meet requirements for clarity and legibility of marks on food packaging. "El marcado láser ofrece resistencia y protección contra el borrado, lo que facilita la trazabilidad del producto," said David Guo.
