What is stainless steel marking?

Stainless steel marking is the process of etching or imprinting durable labels and identifiers onto stainless steel surfaces. This can be achieved through laser engraving or embossing, ensuring the marks are clear and long-lasting for a wide range of applications.


What can I use to mark stainless steel?

For onsite stainless steel marking, embossing systems such as the Hellermann Tyton M BOSS and Panduit metal embossers are ideal for creating durable, raised labels. For more specialised requirements, our custom laser engraving service offers precise and permanent marking solutions.


Can stainless steel be stamped?

Yes, stainless steel can be stamped using metal embossing systems. This method involves creating raised characters or designs on the surface, offering a durable solution for labelling and identification. It's suitable for various applications, ensuring long-lasting legibility and resistance to harsh conditions.


Is stainless steel hard to engrave?

Engraving stainless steel can be challenging due to its hardness and durability. However, with advanced techniques such as laser engraving and the use of embossing systems, precise and permanent markings can be achieved. These methods ensure detailed and clear engravings, suitable for a wide range of applications.



What is the difference between laser engraving and embossing?

Laser engraving uses a laser to precisely remove material, creating detailed, permanent markings. Embossing, on the other hand, mechanically presses designs into the metal, producing raised characters or patterns. Both methods offer durable marking solutions, but with distinct visual and textural results.


Does laser engraving on metal wear off?

No, laser engraving on metal does not wear off. It permanently etches designs or text into the surface, producing markings that remain visible and intact even under harsh conditions. This ensures the durability and longevity of the engraving for various applications.


How much does it cost to have something laser-engraved?

Laser engraving costs start from less than £1, making it a more affordable option than many anticipate. With no minimum order quantities, we accommodate projects of all sizes, from simple designs on small items to intricate engravings on larger pieces.
