Marking

Spotlight: Bar code Badge If there’s one thing our laser is very good at, it’s bar code imaging. High resolution engraving is what is needed to create a crisp and clean bar code. We are able to create bar codes using any one of 18 different industry standards (1D and 2D), with full control over bar width, height and wide-to-narrow ratios. The marked sample above is a special coated brass badge. Marking Marking is another aspect of engraving involving materials that aren’t typically engravable. Some examples of these materials are uncoated metals such as stainless steel and brass. Marking uncoated metal Using a special process, we are able to mark these uncoated metals. The end result is a high contrast, highly readable black, white or copper color mark that is extremely resilient and very difficult to remove. This process does not change the tolerances of the product being marked since no material is removed, making this ideal for use on precision tooling. How to mark a 2-ton metal stamping press For identifying items that are too large for laser marking, we offer special metal self-adhesive badges. These badges mark beautifully, leaving a high contrast crisp black image which makes them perfectly suited for creating serial numbers and bar codes. In fact, these badges can resolve text down to a minuscule 4 points in size, and still be clearly readable. For more information on our metal badge line, please contact us. Using microlaminates Sometimes a marking project requires a more complex shape, in which case we use another material for marking and identification – microlaminate acrylic. This amazing material consists of two layers: a thick base and an extremely thin micro layer embedded on top. These layers always come in two different colors, providing a nice contrast when the top micro layer is engraved away. Microlaminate protractor
