This article focuses on laser-engraved plastic label introduced by Electrox Industrial Lasers. Pre-printed labels work just fine for many applications. Other situations may call for a custom label generated on the spot. Paper works, but a durable, plastic label might be just the thing. Under computer control, an engraving laser burns through the first layer, exposing the contrasting color of the second. Engraving an all-text label requires about 10 seconds, large engraved areas or logos may need 30 seconds.
