About Laser Etching

Laser etching is a manufacturing process that uses a concentrated laser beam to alter the surface of a material, creating a permanent and highly detailed mark. The heat from the laser causes the surface layer to melt, vaporise or change colour, forming text, logos, barcodes or intricate designs with exceptional precision.

Because the process is contact-free, there is no physical tool wear and no risk of damaging delicate or complex parts. Laser etching works on a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, glass, ceramics and composites, and produces markings that are resistant to fading, abrasion and environmental conditions.

It is commonly used for branding, product identification, compliance markings and decorative finishes, and is valued for its accuracy, repeatability and durability across industries such as manufacturing, defence, aerospace, mining and medical equipment production.

Our Brisbane Laser Etching Services

At our Salisbury facility in Brisbane, we use advanced laser systems to add everything from serial numbers and barcodes to intricate logos and compliance markings. Our laser etching process is contact-free, which allows us to achieve exceptional detail without damaging your parts, even on delicate or complex surfaces.

We work with a wide range of industries across Brisbane and Queensland, offering both functional and decorative applications. Our team can handle small prototype batches through to full-scale production runs, always ensuring a professional and durable finish.

When to Use Our Laser Etching Services

Laser etching is best used when you need permanent, precise markings that will not fade, wear off or be affected by environmental conditions. It is ideal for:

  • Branding: Adding logos, product names or decorative designs
  • Identification: Marking serial numbers, part numbers or asset tags for traceability
  • Compliance: Applying safety warnings, certification marks or regulatory information
  • Data encoding: Creating barcodes, QR codes or other machine-readable markings
  • Customisation: Producing personalised designs or labels on products and components

It is also a good choice for prototypes, short production runs and high-volume manufacturing, especially when fine detail and consistency are important. Laser etching works on a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, composites and glass, making it suitable for industries such as manufacturing, defence, aerospace, mining and medical equipment production.

Our Brisbane laser etching capabilities are ideal for:

  • One-off custom projects
  • Short production runs
  • Large-scale manufacturing
  • High-precision, detailed marking
