Labeling technology
Eye catching and memorable
Labeling technology is the generic term for various manufacturing processes for the identification, labeling, coding or marking of products. The processing is used for unique identification
For this purpose, texts, numbers, graphics, etc. are applied to the material to be marked by a device or a system. Due to its identification function, marking technology is an important part of industrial production.
Because of this central function, one of LES GRAVEURS' core competencies is in marking technology and we offer a comprehensive range of products.
Within the scope of labeling technology, LES GRAVEURS uses different processes. Depending on your requirements, we will find the right technology for your device or workpiece:
- Engraving
Engraving is a machining technique. In this process, the surface of the selected material is machined with the appropriate tools. Within engraving there are different processes that have different advantages for the markings. Depending on the requirements, LES GRAVEURS can distinguish between CNC milling engraving, laser engraving and manual milling engraving. Our employees will advise you competently on the choice of the right process. - Embossing
Embossing is an important machining process, especially in labeling technology. A forming tool applies a lot of pressure to the surface of a workpiece, resulting in a deformation. LES GRAVEURS mainly uses an embossing machine for the forming process so that the embossing is carried out automatically in one continuous work step. In addition to the embossing itself, we also manufacture the embossing dies that are used for the embossing for you according to your ideas. - Laser marking
Laser marking is a modern marking method. By means of laser marking, a wide variety of materials can be processed contact-free and very precisely. The workpiece surface is hardly removed and there is very little material loss. Laser marking is therefore a very precise and permanent marking solution.
In addition to direct labeling or marking of your finished workpieces or devices, we also produce marking solutions including fastening solutions for you:
- Plaques and emblems
Emblems represent a combination of image and word and thus also belong to the field of marking technology. Plaques and emblems made of plastic or metal can be used to individualize objects and are also a high-quality decoration. - Signs and front panels
Signs and front panels serve as a labeling solution for devices intended for use. The markings describe the respective products and devices and can thus help the user in their operation. The areas of application for signs and front panels as labeling are wide-ranging and extend from mechanical engineering to medical technology.
FAQ – Marking/Labeling Technology
What is labeling technology?
Marking technology encompasses various manufacturing processes used for marking, labeling, coding, or identifying products. It serves to uniquely identify workpieces through text, numbers, or graphics and is an essential part of industrial production.
What marking techniques does LES GRAVEURS offer?
LES GRAVEURS offers various marking techniques, including engraving, embossing, and laser marking. Depending on the product's requirements, we choose the appropriate method to ensure precise and durable markings. Each technique offers specific advantages, depending on the material and the desired outcome.
How does engraving work as a labeling technique?
Engraving is a material removal process, where the material is mechanically or laser-processed. LES GRAVEURS offers CNC milling engraving, laser engraving, and manual milling engraving. Engraving allows for precise and durable markings that can be applied to various materials.
What is embossing in marking technology?
Embossing involves deforming the material by pressing it with a forming tool. LES GRAVEURS uses embossing machines to automatically perform embossing. This technique is particularly suitable for industrial marking of workpieces and offers a durable and high-quality solution. We also manufacture embossing stamps according to individual specifications.
What are plaques and emblems and what are they used for?
Plaques and emblems are high-quality marking solutions that combine text and graphics. They are made from metal or plastic and are used for both identification and customization of products. They are often used to enhance and label devices and machinery.
What is laser marking and what are its advantages?
Laser marking is a modern process that is applied contact-free and extremely precisely to various materials. It produces permanent markings without significantly stressing or removing the material, making it particularly suitable for applications that require high precision and durability.
