Permanent serial, lot or traceability marking
INDUSTRIAL LASER MARKING
Permanent laser marking matched to your material
Laser marking creates a permanent mark without printing ink, but it is application-specific. Material response, contrast, line speed, laser source, extraction, guarding and local safety requirements must all be reviewed.
TYPICAL FIT
Where to start
- Selected plastics and metals
- Glass, coated materials and components after testing
- Permanent traceability marks
- Applications seeking ink-free marking
APPLICATION VIEW
Packaging
Ink-free codes where the material permits
High-durability needs
Validate abrasion, chemical and heat exposure

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Practical answers
What should a laser marking sample test confirm?
Use the actual production material to check mark contrast, quality, speed and material response. Confirm the laser source and installation conditions separately, including extraction, guarding and interlocks. An attractive sample alone does not establish that the complete installation is suitable.
Does laser marking use ink or ribbon?
No ink or ribbon forms the mark, though extraction filters, lens protection and service items may still be required.
Can a laser mark any material?
No. Suitability and safety depend on the material, laser source, wavelength, power and installation.
Is a sample test necessary?
Yes. A representative material test is the safest way to confirm contrast, quality, speed and material response.
