CO2 & UV Laser Marking Machines for Pharmaceutical Tablets and Capsules
Also referred to as laser printing, laser writing and laser etching, the laser marking of logos, branding and product codes onto tablets and capsules is critical to brand recognition. It also serves as a deterrent to counterfeiting and pharmacy dispensing errors. Serving the world’s top companies, Ackley has been designing and manufacturing innovative machines for laser marking for pharmaceutical industry products, as well as nutraceuticals, for over 40 years. Our CO2 and UV tablet and capsule laser marking machines provide high-quality precision marking in a compact footprint with an emphasis on safety and ease of use.

Your needs and product type will determine which laser system is best suited for you. Our skilled team of expert engineers is ready to put their experience to work for your brand.
