Difference laser marker and labeller

What is the difference between labels and lasering?

Both have their unique features

Learn more about Laser markers and how they provide permanent, high-resolution identification on labware, offering a sustainable and cost-efficient alternative to traditional labels. Unlike labels, which can peel, fade, or degrade under extreme temperatures, laser-etched markings are resistant to chemicals, abrasion, and temperatures from -196°C to +100°C, ensuring 100% reliable sample traceability. Laser systems eliminate the need for consumables like ink or labels, reducing long-term operational costs and environmental impact. They can engrave logos, text, barcodes, and batch IDs—even on very small tubes—without changing tube dimensions, maintaining compatibility with automated systems. While the initial investment is higher than labelers, laser markers become more cost-effective over time, especially in high-throughput labs, providing durable, tamper-proof identification for critical samples.
