When people say marking systems, be it laser, dot needle or ink jet, they think more of their industrial applications. It is believed that this should only be used in factories or commercial industries. However, these marking systems are suitable for commercial and industrial applications. Even for individuals.
In terms of the application of these marking systems, you can try marking some household materials and products to show your own personalization and personal characteristics. and what you need to consider during the tagging process.
First of all, you need to have a laser engraving machine that can quickly mark items. Now there are many brands and models of laser engraving machines on the market, which will make you wonder which laser engraving machine to choose.
If you need it, I can now recommend several laser engraving machines that are most suitable for you, and you can refer to their parameters to choose.
Electronic Gadget
Product 1: Cell Phones and Phone Cases
Most electronics already have inscriptions. However, you can introduce a marking system for identification and aesthetic purposes. Now everyone likes the same brand of mobile phone and operating system. For example, I often misidentify my own iPhone 13 and my friend's iPhone 13 because they are the same size and color, and we like to use the same phone case, When you mark your phone or phone case, you will never get it wrong again.
Product 2: Computers and Laptops
The number one products on our list are computers and laptops because you can easily tag them with craftsmanship, images, pictures, and names.
Laser and inkjet marking systems are the most common of the different marking systems compatible with these products. For one thing, laser marking is accurate, precise, and compatible with the different materials used to make computer housings. In addition to this, it includes different methods such as engraving, annealing and 3D marking, which further increases the flexibility of the marking process. On the other hand, inkjet marking offers better color options. However, it will not give permanent marks.
LaserPecker 2 is the most suitable laser engraving machine for marking items. LaserPecker 2 is also very small in size, suitable for hand-held engraving, and supports scroll engraving and cutting, which can adapt to materials of various sizes.
Product 3: Fan
Just like a computer, your fans may need some inscriptions to show ownership. So you may need a tagging system. Fans are mostly metal or plastic. Therefore, the best marking systems are those using machines like Ortur Laser Master 3, Atomstack S20 Pro, etc. Of these machines, the Atomstack S20 Pro is highly recommended as it also engraves faster with high power.
You can also tag other electronics. Lists range from your TV to irons and speakers. Most of the time, marking electronic products is for identification and traceability. Therefore, you should choose a marking process that provides permanent marking
Products for External Use
Marking systems should be considered primarily for household products intended for outdoor use, as they can easily be misplaced. Here are some products and materials you should try:
Product 4: Reservoir
Although uncommon, your tank should have identification markings. While using a nail to engrave your initials or other forms of marking will get the job done, with a home marking machine you will be more efficient and effective.
A laser marking system is best for this product, and we recommend a fast laser engraver like the xTool D1 Pro. The laser engraving on the reservoir is more noticeable, although some people think inkjets are better. Also, we do not consider spot blasting machines because laser markers are easier to use and provide more visible marks. Also, inkjet marking is not possible as it will not give a permanent mark, which is required since the product is used outdoors.
Product 5: Water Pump
Another product you should consider labeling is the water pump. Here, there are countless marking systems to choose from. Once again, laser markers outperform other machines. However, you can still try point spraying. It is best not to try an inkjet marking system as it will not provide permanent marks.
Products Used in The Kitchen
Kitchen products and materials benefit the most from a marking system. With a portable marker, you can try some of the following:
Product 6, Tableware
Cutlery is the easiest thing to lose in the kitchen. For this, you may need some personalization in the form of initials. The best marking systems are dot needle and laser marking (engraving and etching). Unfortunately, inkjet marking is not suitable as most dishes are exposed to harsh chemicals and liquids during use.
Product 7, Cookware
Another important product moms will be able to have is personalized cookware like cooking pots, kettles, plates, and more. A personal marker allows you to control the marks you give and deliver your beauty.
For laser engraving machines used to engrave metal products such as tableware, I recommend the Ortur Laser Master 3, because it has a 20W high-power model, which can mark and engrave on metal very easily.
Many other kitchen products require other forms of identification. However, you should make sure they are compatible. Use factors such as material and exposure to chemicals to determine your options.
Living Room Products
There are also plenty of things in the living room that you might consider marking. Here are some you can try.
Product 8, Table and Chair Furniture
Tables and chairs already have an aesthetic. So marking them will be more for identification and traceability. Again, laser marking is the most common method for these products, based on their material compatibility, marking quality, contrast, etc. For example, you can use a CO2 laser marker to get the best quality and contrast for wooden furniture, while a UV laser marker would be ideal for some plastic furniture.
Why you should consider a home material marking machine
We cannot provide you with all the products and materials in your home. However, we want you to understand why you should buy a marking machine. If not, consider the following reasons:
· Personalise
Personalizing your household items can help you track their whereabouts. Therefore, most of the products launched for this are kitchen products.
· Identification
Personal marking machines allow you to mark identification marks such as initials, pictures, etc. on household materials. This also aids in the traceability of products and materials.
Factors Influencing Your Choice of Marking System
Here are some things to consider when choosing a marking system for your product.
· Fragile
Proper processing should not interfere with the mechanical properties of the product. For example, RBI is not suitable for computers because their bodies are fragile. Also, when choosing a laser marking machine, make sure that parameters such as laser power are perfectly optimized and that the machine is compatible with the housing material. For inkjet, choose the correct ink that is compatible with the case.
· Use environment
Household materials exposed to harsh conditions should be marked with a marking system indicating permanence. For example, because of this property, laser marking and spot peening are suitable for cisterns and kitchen products. However, inkjet markers are not ideal because they lack permanence.
· Compared
Marking processes such as laser annealing and inkjet have better contrast and should be considered for products where contrast is important.
· Portable Machines
This is very important because tagging families should be easy. There are many portable dot needle and laser marking machines on the market. You can check out our catalog to find the one that suits you best.
