Industrial marking for equipment, tools, labs and devices

What I mark for businesses

For equipment labeling, tool marking or lab labeling, the engraving sits directly in the stainless steel, with no sticker and no paint that flakes off. It stays legible despite cleaning agents, oil and heat.

Equipment labeling and plant marking

  • Pipes, lines and fittings
  • Warning and safety symbols to your specification
  • Type plates and numbers on machines

Tool marking and device labeling

  • Tools with name, number or logo
  • Measuring instruments and test equipment
  • Inventory numbers to prevent loss and mix-ups

Lab labeling and component marking

  • Stainless steel lab equipment and containers
  • Components with number, batch or logo
  • Single piece or small batch

Laser engraving and electrolytic engraving in comparison

  • Laser Engraving

    The laser removes the surface with pinpoint accuracy. Fine lines, lettering, logos, and photos are suitable for labeling stainless steel signs as well as drinking bottles and promotional items.

  • Electrolytic engraving

    Electrochemical process using a stencil, without heat and without material removal. Ideal for large components, systems, and on-site labeling.

Which process is suitable for your workpiece?

For permanent industrial marking on stainless steel, I use laser engraving or electrolytic engraving. Laser engraving removes material and is suitable for fine designs and photos. Electrolytic engraving works with a stencil and electricity; it remains flush and is also possible on large parts on-site.

Laser Engraving

  • Fine lines, lettering, logos, and photos
  • Drinking bottles, mugs, lunch boxes, signs
  • Workpiece up to approx. 30 cm in the workshop
  • Grayscale possible, no full color

Electrolytic engraving

  • Logos, numbers and lettering via stencil
  • Systems, machine parts, furniture, tools
  • On-site in the Dresden area on fixed components
  • No heat input, no material removal

Frequently asked questions about industrial engraving

Which types of stainless steel can be engraved?

The marking is embedded in the surface and remains legible as long as the component lasts. It is resistant to cleaning agents, oil, heat, and dishwashers.
