Digital Nameplates

Laser-markable films are one of the most efficient and robust solutions for permanent marking: high contrast, precise, QR code-compatible – and quickly scalable in production.

Sommer supplies film solutions that are specially designed for harsh environments.

NFC is not an end in itself, but rather a practical extension when processes in service and allocation need to become faster and more secure.

The NFC tag can be used, for example, to quickly identify products, clearly link variants, batches or service files, and conveniently retrieve information using mobile devices, such as in the course of the DPP (Digital Product Passport).

The key point remains that visible labelling continues to be the robust, permanently readable anchor on the product – NFC supplements this basis precisely where it simplifies and accelerates processes.

"Make it smart" is not just about digital connectivity, but also about reliable implementation in series production. With decades of experience in industrial applications, we work to high quality and safety standards – supported by our TISAX and IATF 16949 certifications, among others – to ensure that your data, processes and interfaces remain clean and traceable.

The solution also impresses in production with its process stability: the high intrinsic stability of our laser-markable films supports automated processing and ensures reproducible results – from the first sample to series production.

When labelling becomes a digital bridge, the demand for integrity and protection against tampering increases. Our integrated security solutions are designed to reveal attempts at tampering and effectively prevent the unwanted removal of labels.

A key component is a special material structure that prevents non-destructive removal. In addition, a pigmented adhesive can be used that leaves a UV-visible mark on the adhesive surface, thus documenting any tampering attempts. Furthermore, individual watermarks provide additional proof of authenticity – customised to your specific requirements and tailored to your security and brand profile.
