Given that all branches of industry are now under increasing cost pressure, companies are constantly looking for new ways to cut costs. This also applies to the topic of ‘marking,’ because clear, long-lasting labels save a lot of time and money. There is now an alternative to engraved or laser printed metal labels.

For this reason, these materials are increasingly used in industry – for example, as machine labels in machine, control, and plant engineering.
