laser engraving and laser etching is small in size, it could be good idea to get the work done on a job-work basis.

When I got rid of my out-dated stamping system, I was told that there are laser etching devices now available that can be used to mark the surface of a wide range of materials like plastics made of different polymers, metals and ceramics. The idea is to remove the material of the surface by means of a laser beam so that the surface is discolored or to evaporate the material so that it is etched. Important information such as the barcode, logo or company insignia or batch code etc. can be etched by using a laser etching machine.
Laser Engraving and Laser Etching are one and the same processes except that the term ‘laser engraving’ is used more for metals than other materials. One can either have in-house laser engraving and laser etching line that can be integrated with the production line or you can get the laser etching work done from professionals who take up the job on a contract basis. If the product or part of the product that requires laser engraving and laser etching is small in size, it could be good idea to get the work done on a job-work basis.
In fact that is what I did. Only after getting the work done from a professional contractor for Laser Engraving and Laser Etching for some time, I was quite satisfied with how the machine worked and the results achieved that I thought of buying the Laser Etching system for my own industry. The new Laser Engraving and Laser Etching is now installed and will soon start production.
