Laser labels
Flexible in shape, size and content for permanent traceability
Flexible cutting and labelling of laser labels
Precision meets flexibility: your solution for sophisticated labelling
Flexibility & quality
Laser markable labels are a very interesting option for marking workpieces that are not to be labelled directly. They are also suitable for simple labelling of heavy and large components. The labels are laser-marked and cut from the roll in a single operation. This enables the production of any desired label size and shape up to 120 x 120 mm using a laser foil.
With our laser systems, you can cut labels precisely in a single work step and label them individually at the same time. Whether serial numbers, barcodes, logos or variable data. Labelling with laser foil is more efficient and adaptable than ever.
Resistant & durable
Highest labelling quality: Permanent, high-contrast laser marking for text, 2D codes, graphics or serial numbers.
Real-time individualisation: Ideal for on-demand production, UDI marking or track & trace applications. The laser labels fulfil all legal standards and can be used as a tamper-proof identification solution throughout the entire life cycle of a product. They are particularly resistant and durable against chemicals, solvents, abrasion, extreme temperatures and weather conditions.
Suitable for traceability
The laser labels are also suitable as data carriers for traceability (barcode, data matrix code, QR code) and for intelligent process control and cannot be removed non-destructively.
With our laser systems, you can cut labels precisely and label them individually in a single work step - without any tool changes, punching or lead time. Whether serial numbers, barcodes, logos or variable data: We make your labelling more efficient and adaptable than ever.

The HABAU GROUP is an international full-service provider for almost all areas of the construction industry. As one of the leading construction groups in Austria, HABAU is also a pioneer in the field of digitalisation. Penteq was selected as a partner for the implementation of an industrial laser system for labelling equipment with Data Matrix codes for digital recording. The modular system concept of the LG200 laser system enables the direct laser labelling of components as well as the automated production of laser labels and laser-engraved type plates by means of function modules that can be easily exchanged without tools. The software was integrated into HABAU's IT system via standardised interfaces and a customer-specific, configurable and modular software solution from Penteq.
Laser foils vs. thermal transfer labels
The smart alternative to classic labelling.
Whether in medical technology, electronics production or mechanical engineering - if you need durable, flexible and high-quality labelling, laser foils are the first choice.
| Criterion | Laser foil (e.g. Tesa®) | Thermal transfer label |
|---|---|---|
| Durability / legibility | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very high | ⭐⭐⭐ Medium to high (depending on band) |
| Resilience | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chemistry, heat, abrasion | ⭐⭐ Limited depending on band & label |
| Print quality (barcode etc.) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent (laser precision) | ⭐⭐ Good, but material-dependent |
| Shape flexibility | ✔️ Freeform possible | ❌ Standard formats or die-cutting |
| Tool costs | ✔️ None | ⚠️ Possible punching costs |
| Tamper protection | ✔️ Possible (Void, Destructive) | ⚠️ Restricted |
| Printing material required | ❌ No | ✔️ Yes (colour ribbons) |
| Maintenance & consumption | ✔️ Low | ❌ Higher (print head, ribbon, cleaning) |
| Automation capability | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ High | ⭐ Possible, but more complex |
| Investment / unit costs | 🡹 Higher purchase price | 🡻 More favourable for bulk labels |
Advantages of laser labels at a glance:
Flexible and economical
