Engraved Metal Labels
Showing all 6 results
Engraved metal labels cut or etch the mark into the metal itself, so text and logos stay legible after years of handling, cleaning, and wear that would fade a printed label. Himgo laser-engraves aluminum, stainless, brass, and copper for buyers who need small, permanent text — model numbers, serials, or brand marks — that has to outlast the product.

Anodized aluminum engraves with the strongest contrast, since the laser cuts through the color layer to reveal bare metal underneath. Stainless steel engraving holds up well where the label gets wiped down with solvents or handled daily.
Typical buyers & uses
- Instrument and device makers — engraving small serial text that must stay readable for the product's service life.
- Toolmakers — permanent model numbers on housings that get gripped and dropped.
- Lab and medical equipment suppliers — marks that survive repeated chemical wipe-downs or sterilization.
- Manufacturers replacing faded printed labels — moving warranty or traceability data onto an engraved mark instead.

FAQ
How small can engraved text be and stay readable?
Down to about 1.5 mm character height, depending on material and finish.
Does engraving go through the anodized layer for contrast?
Yes, that is the standard way we get dark text on a light background, or the reverse.
Will engraved marks survive repeated cleaning or sterilization?
Yes, since the mark is cut into the metal instead of printed over it.
Is engraving more durable than printed or adhesive-only labels?
The mark itself will not peel or fade. Mounting durability still depends on adhesive versus holes.
Can each label get a different serial number engraved?
Yes, variable text or serial sequences can be engraved one by one.
