Microtrace has a partnership with one of the leading laser manufacturers in the world in the field of micro-marking and micro-machining. The most effective security / brand protection program includes multiple levels of security. Micro-marking directly on your product with laser marking systems paired with Microtrace taggant technology forms an insurmountable brand protection program.

The pictures above are examples of laser micro-markings on various materials.

• Create a microscopic covert marking invisible to the naked eye. Laser markings can be as small as 30 microns (a human hair is approximately 100 microns thick)
• Mark virtually any substrate including;
  • Plastics: bottles, lids, containers, packaging, etc. Special laser marking compounded resins may be required. With these specialized compounds, a color change occurs where the laser marks the finished part creating a variety of colors and contrasts.
  • Metals: direct part marking
  • Diamonds: Inscribed on the girdle to increase brand awareness, personalize, etc.
  • Crystal, glass, gold, etc.
  • Pharmaceutical Tablets / Pills: Direct tablet marking of pharmaceuticals for track, trace and authentication

  • We have not failed in creating a mark on material.
• Laser inscribe:
  • Logos
  • Serial numbers
  • Alpha-numerics
  • Standard Barcodes and 2D Data Matrix Barcodes
  • 2D Data Matrix barcodes may be encrypted so only your software is able to read the information stored within the barcode. Click here for more information on Data Matrix capabilities.
• Hand-written signatures
• Invisible barcodes: only seen under high magnification
• Other invisible marking: only visible under high magnification

The laser marking systems are user friendly and most are operated by a Windows program which allows you to view what you want to mark prior to marking.

• Diamond Marking: The laser technology will not fracture diamonds.
• Aircraft / Automotive Parts: Small barcodes can be applied to metal parts or even on the coating of wires to ensure 100% part traceability.
• Professional Hair Care / Beauty Markets: Covert encrypted 2D barcodes may be incorporated in packaging to identify distributor, manufacturer, intended market, etc.
• Pharmaceutical: Covert, encrypted 2D barcodes may be incorporated in packaging to track and trace product. Direct tablet marking can also be done.
• Jewelry/Collectables: Logos or serial numbers can be applied to items so small and so discretely that a person would never know the mark was there.  A nearly invisible marking.
• Medical Devices: Track and trace, etc.
