In recent years, plasma pre-treatment has established itself as one of the most reliable and suitable methods for printing on challenging surfaces. Isabelle Doelfs and Dr. Eva Brandes explain how the process is becoming an increasingly popular choice for traceability in the medical sector.
Traceability is essential for the serialisation of supply chains. It ensures the visibility of the chain itself and reduces risks, which increases the overall quality of the supply chain. To achieve traceability, label printing is one of the most important means. In recent years, plasma pre-treatment has established itself as one of the most reliable and suitable methods for this purpose, as it significantly improves the adhesion of inks to materials that are usually difficult to print on due to their surface properties.
