Laser Marking System for Industrial Product Coding
Linx laser marking systems are designed for manufacturers that need fast, clean and reliable coding on packaging, plastics, glass, metal, foils, flexible films and industrial components. Whether you need date codes, batch numbers, serial numbers, QR codes, DataMatrix codes, barcodes or logos, Linx can help you choose the right CO₂, fibre or UV laser marking system for your production line.
Compare CO₂, Fibre and UV Laser Marking Systems
Different laser technologies interact with materials in different ways. The best system is not always the highest-powered system — it is the system that matches your substrate, speed and code requirement.
| Laser technology | Best for | Common materials | Typical code types | Linx product options |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CO₂ laser marking system | Packaging and high-speed production coding | Paperboard, cartons, labels, glass, PET, selected plastics, rubber and coated packaging | Date codes, batch codes, barcodes, QR codes, logos | CSL10, CSL30, CSL60 |
| Fibre laser marking system | Durable marking on harder materials and small components | Metal, plastic, rubber, packaging foils and industrial parts | Serial numbers, DataMatrix codes, QR codes, logos, traceability codes | FSL20, FSL50 |
| UV laser marking system | Sensitive, delicate or difficult-to-mark substrates | Flexible films, mono-recyclable films, rigid plastics, HDPE, LDPE, PP and glass | High-contrast text, logos, QR codes, DataMatrix codes and GS1 codes | UVG5 |

Test your Product before Choosing a Laser Marking System
Laser marking performance depends on your material, coating, colour, line speed and code requirement. Sample testing helps confirm that the selected system can deliver the mark quality and readability you need.
A sample test can help confirm
- Code contrast
- Mark permanence
- Barcode or 2D code readability
- Marking speed
- Substrate reaction
- Risk of thermal impact
- Best-fit laser technology
- Suitable lens and configuration
What to Send for Testing
- Product or packaging sample
- Material type
- Required code
- Code size
