Laser Engraved Metal Labels
A laser-engraved metal label for text that has to stay legible under handling, mounted with adhesive or through-holes.
Description
Printed ink can wear off under handling; a laser-engraved mark stays in the metal itself. This label uses that process for text that needs to last, which matters most on fields handled daily.
Where it fits
Laser engraving suits fields that must stay sharp:
- Serial numbers and date codes
- Spec plates handled or wiped often
- Equipment labels exposed to light abrasion
- Small variable text on a fixed layout
Common sizes
Typical sizes are 40x20mm, 60x30mm, and 80x25mm, cut from 0.2-1mm stock. Custom sizes follow your drawing, and mounting can be by adhesive or drilled holes depending on the housing.
Materials & finishes
Aluminum and stainless steel both take a laser mark cleanly, in anodized, brushed, or matte finish. The engraving depth stays shallow, so thin stock still holds the mark. Anodizing beforehand also protects the surrounding surface from scratching during handling.
