How Neolase, a Sheffield laser marking subcontractor, laser-marks thousands of permanent silver and black tamper-proof labels for engine plates, electrical equipment plates and asset tracking.
Neolase Ltd, a laser marking and engraving subcontractor based in Sheffield, UK, laser-marks thousands of permanent labels in silver or black. Known as tamper-proof labels because they are very difficult to remove, they are used on engine plates, electrical equipment plates and for asset tracking. The laser mark is permanent and cannot be rubbed off, so the information on the label stays readable for the life of the product.

An engine plate or an electrical equipment plate carries information that matters: what the product is, its rating, its serial number. If that label can be peeled off or altered, the information cannot be trusted.
Asset tracking has the same need. A label that falls off or fades defeats the purpose, so the customer needed labels that are very difficult to remove and carry marks that last.
The customer uses permanent labels in silver or black, which are very difficult to remove once applied. Neolase, a laser marking subcontractor based in Sheffield, laser-marks them by the thousand.
Because the information is laser-marked rather than printed, it cannot be rubbed away or smudged. And because the laser is controlled by software, each label can carry its own information, such as a unique serial number or code, while the whole batch is marked quickly and consistently.

For the customer, laser-marked permanent labels from Neolase mean:
| Benefit | What it meant for the customer |
|---|---|
| Hard to remove | The labels are very difficult to remove once applied, so the information on them can be trusted. |
| Permanent marks | Laser marking cannot be rubbed off or smudged, so the information stays readable. |
| Traceable | Each label can carry its own serial number or code, supporting asset tracking and product identification. |
| Marked in volume | Thousands of labels are marked quickly, with the same quality from the first to the last. |
| Silver or black | Both label colours are available, so the label can suit the product it is applied to. |
| Versatile | The same approach works for engine plates, electrical equipment plates and asset tracking. |
