What Laser Engraving Brings
Laser engraving changes the part's surface directly with heat. We typically use this process on custom parts to achieve the following three results.
Permanent Marks & Logos
Alters the part’s surface directly. No ink to peel or scratch off. Resists chemicals and daily wear.
QR & Serial Numbers
Mark unique data on every single part without changing tooling. Sequential numbers, and QR codes.
Backlit Buttons
We mold clear plastic, paint it, and laser away the paint to create symbols. Light shines through from behind.

Laser Engraving vs. Printing Finishes
Before you specify a finish, weigh the trade-off between permanent laser ablation and color-matched ink adhesion.
| Your Scenario | Recommended Process | Recommended Marking | 典型应用 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plastic enclosures, need permanent logo | 注塑成型 | 激光雕刻 | Appliance panels, device housings |
| Plastic enclosures, need gold / silver mirror‑like logo | 注塑成型 | 烫金 | Cosmetic packaging, smart lock panels |
| Metal parts, need long‑lasting markings | CNC / Die casting | 激光雕刻 | Tool handles, instrument panels |
| Small batches, color logos on flat surfaces | 数控加工 | Screen printing | Prototype housings, display models |
| Color logos on curved or irregular surfaces | CNC / Injection molding | 移印 | Switch knobs, curved handles, toys |
| Quick prototypes for design validation | 三维打印 | 激光雕刻 | Concept models, functional test parts |
