With the continuous digital and green transformation of domestic manufacturing, product marking has evolved from simply printing production dates and batch numbers into a core link for quality control, one-item-one-code traceability and compliant exports. Market demand for laser marking and laser inkjet equipment is rising steadily.
Traditional ink inkjet marking has drawbacks such as high consumable costs, easily scratched and faded marks, and workshop pollution caused by ink solvents. In highly regulated sectors including food & pharmaceuticals, precision electronics and new energy auto parts, an increasing number of enterprises adopt laser marking solutions. Fiber, CO₂ and UV laser equipment serve distinct applications: fiber lasers are suitable for permanent engraving on various metal components; CO₂ lasers are widely used for non‑metal materials such as cartons, leather and plastic packaging; UV lasers feature cold processing without substrate burning, ideal for fine coding on heat‑sensitive materials like PCB boards, transparent plastics and medical consumables.
Meanwhile, marking equipment is advancing toward intelligent integration. New-generation models support connection with MES and ERP production management systems to dynamically generate variable QR codes, serial numbers and trace codes. Equipped with visual positioning modules, they can automatically locate workpieces and adapt to high-speed flying marking on production lines to reduce manual intervention. For export trade, stable and tamper-proof laser marks better satisfy traceability regulations of overseas markets, making them a preferred choice for production line upgrades at many foreign trade factories. The industry generally expects that laser marking equipment with the advantages of low power consumption, zero consumables and easy integration will keep gaining penetration on automated production lines in the future.
