Industrial Laser Marking Services
Permanent, high-quality markings for product identification, tracking, and branding.
Industrial laser marking is a process that uses lasers to mark various surfaces without compromising the quality of the item. Industrial laser marking is accurate and efficient, which is essential in industries where slight errors can lead to product failure or various safety hazards. It ensures that serial numbers, logos, and other markings remain legible over the product’s lifespan.
At Empire Group, we specialize in industrial CO2 laser marking services for product identification, batch number tracking, sterilization information, company branding, and more.

Laser Marking FAQs
Below are some common questions about laser marking and our related services:
-
A focused laser beam uses a targeted light to mark the surface of an object without compromising the integrity of the part. It leaves a permanent identifying marker such as a QR code, logo, bar code, or serial number. It is abrasion-resistant and does not fade over time.
-
Industrial laser marking does not remove any material but discolors the surface to create a permanent marking, while industrial laser engraving does alter the surface of an item. Industrial laser etching melts the surface of an item, creating a raised mark. We can help you select the right process for your specific material and application requirements.
-
