Laser Marking Benefits
Our laser marking device will also mark softer materials such as plastic, wood and leather. Laser marking is becoming an increasingly popular option to mark finished pieces because laser marking is
- Consistent
- Repeatable
- Durable aka rugged
In spite of the rugged nature of these marks, the laser engraving process does
- NOT deform the surface of your completed parts
- NOT damage your finished parts
- NOT affect the functionality of your parts
Common Marks Made by Laser Devices
Common marks added to manufactured components include:
- 1D and 2D barcodes
- QR codes
- Global Standard Codes such as GS1, GTIN, and UDI
- Logos and other images we import into our system
- Alpha-numeric codes such as serial numbers
- Control panel and button information
- Name plates
Reason to Mark Your Parts
