FAQ
It is important to know what each laser has to offer. Many things need to be considered such as what material is going to be marked, the required speed, or whether the production will be static or a moving product on a production conveyor or belt. Then either industrial lasers from CO2 or fibre will be chosen depending on the material to be marked. CO2 laser marking are often used for softer material, example being paper, cardboard, or soft plastics. Fibre lasers are more typically used for metals and harder plastic materials. We have experts on hand to guide you through which is best – contact us here.
