Laser marking is a technique that offers pinpoint precision by utilizing a concentrated beam of light to permanently alter the material surface or remove surface coatings, resulting in high-resolution text, graphics, or symbols.
Laser marking is typically categorized as "contrast graphics" since it does not provide a range of color choices. Instead, it excels at creating contrast marks, relying on the material and color of the enclosure to determine the outcome. This often leads to dark grayscale results for gray polycarbonate or ABS enclosures, rather than a true black. In the case of coated aluminum, such as our EX series, laser marking removes/lightens the coating, revealing the natural aluminum underneath, resulting in high-contrast, crisp results that cannot be achieved by basic printing. It's worth noting that black polycarbonate or ABS enclosures are oftentimes not a good fit for laser marking due to the end results not aligning with our standard of quality.
Currently, laser marking is a new offering from Polycase, and cannot be self-quoted through the website like our CNC machining and digital printing services. To inquire about pricing, we ask that you call (440-934-0444) or email us at [email protected].
