Laser Marking for Pen Engraving


Laser engraving is a versatile process that can be used on many specialty items. One of the more popular applications used in the corporate world, is the laser engraving of pens. Pens can be customized in many ways to include corporate logos, identification marks, personalized messages, corporate identity, etc. Laser engraving is a much more versatile method than traditional engraving methods. When combined with easy-to-use graphic software, laser marking opens the door for limitless application possibilities.

Corporate Publicity


Everyone uses pens. Designed for giveaways at trade shows, corporate functions, seminars and anywhere else you market your brand, pen uses are limited only by your imagination. It is very common for companies to permanently mark pens with their name and logo, address, phone and website information. These processes may be performed quickly and easily in-house using the FiberStar laser marking system.


Personalized Gifts

Specialty shops use laser marked pens for clients wishing to celebrate anniversaries, landmark birthdays, and other events. With easy to use laser marking software, it is easy to import images, logo designs and even personal handwritten messages to produce unique engraved products.

Quality and Definition


Laser marking is capable of producing text on metallic objects that are so small it is barely readable with the naked eye. The text quality and definition are excellent and exceeds that of traditional engraving methods. All metals used in the production of pens can be engraved, including precious metals such as silver and gold; the material's melting point, softness, and depth of cut may affect definition. Laser marking of plastic pens can also yield great results. Using customized software, the engraver can customize the laser marking of pens to produce:

  • Multiple fonts
  • Any text size
  • Complex logos
  • Images
  • Miniature 2D bar codes

Productivity


One of the great things about laser marking is that the quantity doesn’t matter. Whether it be five pens or 5,000 pens, the FiberStar Laser Marking System can knock them out quickly and efficiently. Depending upon the detail, the actual marking process takes a few seconds. For one-off customization, a simple jig is all that is required, and, depending upon requirements, this approach could be used for high volumes runs. At higher volumes, automated feed mechanisms using an indexed conveyor or robotic manipulator are normally required.
