Permanent Identification for Parts, Equipment and Production
Professional Industrial Marking Ottawa
Industrial Marking Ottawa provides permanent identification, laser marking, equipment labelling, serial numbering, QR code
marking, control-panel identification, part marking, and custom industrial tags for manufacturers, engineers, contractors,
laboratories, institutions, and service companies throughout Ottawa, Kanata, and surrounding communities.
We mark compatible customer-supplied components and manufacture custom identification products for machinery, tools, fixtures,
electrical equipment, control systems, prototypes, production parts, testing devices, inventory, and facility operations.
Industrial marking can include logos, part numbers, serial numbers, model numbers, revision codes, operating information,
warning text, QR codes, barcodes, calibration references, inspection details, and other approved variable data.
From one prototype component to repeatable production batches, every project includes material review, marking-area confirmation,
artwork preparation, proof approval, process testing where needed, precision production, and quality inspection at our Kanata facility.

Customer-Supplied Materials
Send the exact material, coating, manufacturer,
dimensions, photos, and technical information for review.
Process Compatibility and Safety
Industrial Marking Limitations
Not every material or component is suitable for our equipment. Marking feasibility must be confirmed before production,
especially for unknown plastics, coated parts, curved components, precision surfaces, and critical-use equipment.
Deep Metal Engraving
Our CO₂ laser systems are not designed for deep
engraving into bare steel, aluminum, brass, or copper.
Metal Cutting
We do not cut structural sheet metal using
our CO₂ laser equipment.
Unknown Plastics
Plastics without reliable composition or safety
documentation may not be accepted.
PVC and Vinyl
PVC, vinyl, and chlorine-containing materials
are not accepted for laser processing.
Critical Tolerance Machining
Laser marking is not a replacement for certified
precision machining or dimensional inspection.
Unverified Compliance Claims
Customers must supply and approve regulatory,
engineering, safety, certification, and compliance requirements.
Better Traceability and Operational Control
Why Use Permanent Industrial Marking?
Improved Traceability
Part numbers, serial numbers, and codes connect
components to production, service, and inspection records.
Faster Identification
Clear markings help technicians, operators,
inspectors, and employees identify parts quickly.
Reduced Labelling Errors
Controlled templates and data files improve
consistency across batches and equipment groups.
Better Maintenance Records
QR codes and asset numbers can connect equipment
to manuals, inspections, and service history.
Professional Appearance
Permanent marking and coordinated nameplates
look cleaner than handwritten or temporary labels.
Repeatable Production
Approved templates can support future batches,
revisions, replacements, and additional equipment.

Helpful Technical Information
Industrial Marking FAQs
What is industrial marking?
Industrial marking is the application of permanent or durable identification to parts, equipment, tools,
machinery, labels, nameplates, and production components.
What information can you mark?
We can mark part numbers, serial numbers, logos, model numbers, revisions, QR codes, barcodes,
operating information, warnings, and approved variable data.
Can each component have a different serial number?
Yes. Each component can include different serial numbers, part numbers, QR codes, barcodes, revision codes,
locations, or other variable information.
Can you mark stainless steel?
Selected stainless-steel surfaces may be marked using a suitable process or laser-marking compound. The exact
result depends on the alloy, finish, geometry, and condition.
Can you engrave bare aluminum?
Our CO₂ systems are best suited to anodized, painted, coated, or treated aluminum. Bare aluminum
may not produce a strong permanent contrast without a compatible treatment or marking process.
Can you engrave anodized aluminum?
Yes. Anodized aluminum commonly produces a clear, high-contrast mark when the surface layer is processed.
Do you offer deep metal engraving?
No. Our CO₂ laser systems are not intended for deep engraving into bare steel, aluminum, brass, or copper.
Can you cut metal parts?
No. We do not cut structural metal sheets or machine metal components with our CO₂ laser equipment.
Can you mark curved or irregular parts?
Some curved or irregular components can be marked, depending on the marking area, geometry, focus range,
stability, fixture requirements, and machine clearance.
Can you mark finished customer-supplied parts?
Customer-supplied parts may be accepted after reviewing the material, coating, dimensions, marking location,
replacement value, geometry, and required result.
Do you test the material before production?
Testing may be recommended for unfamiliar materials, coatings, high-value components, new finishes,
or projects requiring specific contrast.
What file formats do you accept?
Vector files such as AI, SVG, EPS, DXF, and vector PDF are preferred. Variable information may be supplied
in a clean spreadsheet.
Can you work from STEP or CAD files?
CAD files may help us understand component dimensions and marking locations, but production artwork generally
requires a clear two-dimensional vector layout.
Can you mark QR codes and barcodes?
Yes, depending on the available marking area, required code size, contrast, surface condition,
scanner, and material.
Can you reproduce the same marking on future batches?
Approved artwork, templates, marking locations, and production settings may be retained to support
recurring batches and replacement orders.
Do you provide certified aerospace or medical marking?
We produce markings according to customer-approved artwork and specifications. Customers are responsible
for determining and approving all certification, regulatory, engineering, traceability, validation,
and compliance requirements.
How quickly can you complete a project?
Timing depends on material compatibility, testing, fixture requirements, quantity, variable data,
file readiness, inspection, and current production capacity.
What information do you need for a quote?
Send photos, material and coating details, component dimensions, marking-area dimensions,
quantity, artwork, variable data, deadline, application requirements, and available budget range.
