Non-contact laser engraving for cards and tickets

What are print and laser modules?

Printing and laser modules are components for personalizing cards, tickets, and labels. They apply variable information, serial numbers, or graphic elements to the data carriers—permanently, precisely, and inline with the encoding. Thanks to their modular design, the systems can be operated individually or in combination with Rinas encoding modules.

Typical areas of application

Supported materials

How does printing and laser engraving work?

  1. Data entry: Print data is provided via database or CSV.
  2. Positioning: The card is transported precisely under the print or laser head.
  3. Personalization:
    • Inkjet or thermal transfer for permanent markings and variable data
    • Lasers for contactless engraving and permanent marking
  4. Drying or curing: Immediate fixation without waiting time.
  5. Verification: Checking the print image or engraving using a camera.
