( SPECIALTY / LASER MARKING )
Laser Marking
Permanent identification marks for projects like serial numbers, barcodes, QR codes, and part ID for materials like metal and plastic, built to survive the full life of the part.
What is laser marking?
Laser marking uses a focused beam to change the surface of a material through annealing, discoloration, or a light surface reaction without cutting deep into it. Because it changes the surface rather than removing much material, it's the standard choice for fine text, serial numbers, and codes on precision parts.
The result resists abrasion, chemicals, and heat far better than printed or etched labels, which is why laser marking is the go-to for serial numbers, barcodes, QR codes, Data Matrix codes, and traceability marks that need to survive the full life of the part.
Materials we mark
Some examples to name a few
Precision & consistency
Every mark is tuned per material and per finish, so results stay accurate across a run of 1 or 1,000.
Fast turnaround
Custom pieces and production batches move quickly, without cutting corners on quality.
One shop, every material
Metal, wood, glass, acrylic, and more — no need to split a project across vendors.
Questions?
What is laser marking?
Laser marking uses a focused beam to change the surface of a material — through annealing, discoloration, or a light surface reaction — without cutting deep into it. It's ideal for permanent identification marks like serial numbers, barcodes, and QR codes.
What's the difference between laser engraving and laser marking?
Engraving physically removes material to create a textured, deeper mark; marking changes the surface color or finish without removing much material at all. Marking is usually the better choice for fine text, serial numbers, and codes on metal parts; engraving is better suited to bold graphics and logos.
What is laser marking used for in manufacturing?
Serial numbers, barcodes, QR codes, Data Matrix codes, part identification, and traceability marks are some of the most common industrial uses — especially where a mark has to survive the full life of the part.
