Marking, engraving and labeling
These three laser processes share many similarities, as they often use similar approaches and machines. However, there are specific differences in the applications and results that characterize each process.
Marking
Marking involves creating visible or invisible characters, such as logos, barcodes or serial numbers, on a surface. The laser beam creates clear, high-contrast markings by heating and oxidizing the material. Complex geometric shapes and detailed patterns can be precisely applied to materials such as metal, plastic or ceramic. The process is particularly fast and is suitable for industrial series production where precise and durable markings are required.
Engraving
Laser engraving is a process in which a tangible indentation is created in the surface by removing material using a powerful laser beam. These engravings can range from minimal, barely perceptible structures to deep, three-dimensional reliefs. Engraving is particularly advantageous for materials such as wood, metal and glass, where haptic changes are desired in addition to visual effects. The engraved image is permanent and cannot be scratched off or easily worn away, making it ideal for products that are exposed to high levels of stress.
Labeling
The aim of laser marking is to permanently transfer numbers, symbols or characters onto objects. Unlike engraving, marking usually does not change the surface structure, but merely achieves contrast through a chemical reaction or a change in material color. This process is particularly popular for marking medical devices, electronic components or packaging, where sharp, precise and hygienically perfect lettering is required.
Cosmetics industry – precision meets design
Our advanced laser machines have revolutionized cosmetics production. One example is the finishing of lipstick packaging, where the finest geometric patterns and filigree structures are applied by laser. These processes offer maximum creative freedom and give the products a luxurious feel. This turns each packaging into an individual and aesthetic highlight that strengthens the brand image.
Medical equipment – Precise and sterile labeling
The labeling of products relevant to medical technology requires absolute precision. Ampoules must be marked sharply and cleanly without jeopardizing the integrity of the material. With our laser systems, ampoules can be marked efficiently and without contamination, meeting the highest quality standards and legal requirements. The precise markings enable easy traceability. They are also essential for maintaining hygiene and infection control standards.
The manufacture of diagnostic devices requires precision and quality at the highest level. Our process ensures that materials are gently removed from the carrier layer without leaving any residue and without damaging it. We guarantee that the integrity of the surface is maintained even with the most sensitive materials. At the same time, we meet the strictest dimensional accuracy requirements and work within the narrowest tolerance limits to ensure maximum precision. You can rely on our many years of expertise, which continuously meets the highest standards of reliability and accuracy – for consistently flawless results in diagnostic equipment.
