QR Codes & DataMatrix
QR and DataMatrix codes for part identification, inventory and traceability. We consider available area, module size, contrast and the intended reader.
TECHNICAL & INDUSTRIAL MARKING
Laser Marking in Berlin
Precision laser marking for metal components, identification plates, QR and DataMatrix codes – from single samples to small batches. We tailor technical markings to the material, surface and intended application.
What we laser mark
Four laser marking services for metal parts, identification plates, prototypes and small production runs.
Serial Numbers & Variable Data
Sequential serial numbers, batch and equipment IDs, plus unique data on each part. Variable QR content is also possible within small batches.
Nameplates & Technical Components
Metal plates, enclosures and suitable machine parts marked with specifications, device IDs, warnings or logos, tailored to the surface.
Single Parts, Prototypes & Small Batches
From prototypes to small batches: we establish marking appearance and alignment on samples and prepare repeatable identification efficiently.
Materials & Marking Methods
Material and surface finish determine contrast, shade and engraving depth. We select light, dark or recessed marking to suit the application.
Stainless Steel
Brushed or smooth surfaces: dark marking, technical text and QR/DataMatrix codes; recessed engraving where appropriate.
Aluminium & Anodised Aluminium
Anodised surfaces allow high-contrast marking. Bare aluminium results depend on alloy and finish.
Brass
Light or dark marks and recessed engraving for brass plates and parts. The desired contrast guides the process.
Other Metals & Engineering Plastics
Steel, copper, titanium, coated metals and suitable engineering plastics: assessed by material and application.
Typical Marking Results
LightLight contrast marking depending on the base material and finish.
DarkDark marks for text, identifiers and machine-readable codes.
RecessedMaterial removal for an engraved, tangible depth where the workpiece permits.

From Drawing to Laser Marking
Provide Technical Specifications
Send drawings (DXF, SVG or PDF), material, part and marking dimensions, quantity and any QR, DataMatrix or serial number data.
Prepare Data & Select Laser Parameters
We prepare the content and variable data, set positioning and laser parameters, and agree a sample when useful.
Mark Components & Check Results
We mark individual parts or small batches and check position, completeness and the agreed marking appearance.
Note: machine-readable code requirements and any standards-based verification are agreed for each project.
Frequently Asked Questions about Laser Marking
Which materials are suitable for industrial laser marking?
Our principal materials are stainless steel, aluminium (including anodised finishes) and brass. Steel, copper, titanium, coated metals and suitable plastics are assessed case by case.
Can you mark QR codes, DataMatrix codes and unique serial numbers?
Yes. We can engrave QR/DataMatrix codes, serial and batch numbers, and unique identifiers. Code size, contrast and any scanner requirements are agreed in advance.
Do you accept individual parts, prototypes and small batches?
Yes. We handle single pieces, samples and small runs. Repeatable positioning can be supported with suitable fixtures.
How durable is laser marking on metal?
Laser marking changes the surface or removes material. Durability depends on the material, marking method and operating conditions.
Which drawings and technical data are needed for a quotation?
DXF, SVG or PDF drawings, material, part and marking dimensions, quantity and desired content are useful. Variable codes also require their datasets.
Need precision laser marking for your components?
Send your technical drawing (DXF, SVG or PDF), material specifications, part dimensions, required marking and quantity. We will review the requirements and prepare an individual quotation.
