Marking and Coding
Common marking methods include inkjet printing, laser marking, thermal transfer, and dot peen coding. Each method is selected based on the material, production speed, and durability requirements. For example, laser marking offers permanent, high-quality codes without contact, ideal for metals or plastics.
