Applications › Decorated Parts & Secondary Operations
A mark in the part beats a label on the part. We UV print directly on plastic, metal and wood with white underbase for dark surfaces, and laser engrave where the mark has to be permanent through heat, abrasion or solvents. Part numbers, revision, instructions and codes can all go on at once, different per part if needed.
Typical examples
- Part numbers and revisions on components
- Operating instructions printed at the point of use
- Logos on housings and covers
- Laser-engraved serials on metal parts
- Icons and legends on machined and printed parts
