Unlike ink-based printing, laser marking does not fade, smudge, or wear off, making it ideal for industries requiring\u00a0<strong>durability, compliance, and traceability<\/strong>. Laser marking is a process that permanently modifies the surface of a material using concentrated light \u2014 not ink or direct contact.
