Inkjet marking is the most widely used technology for direct marking on cables and hoses. An inkjet printer can apply text, logos, batch numbers and length markings while the product is in motion.
Advantages:
Laser marking is used when the marking needs to be permanent and extremely durable. The laser burns the surface of the cable or hose, creating a permanent marking that cannot be worn away.
Advantages:
For plastic cables, CO₂ lasers are recommended, which provide high contrast through slight surface change, while fiber lasers are better suited for darker or rubber-based materials.
Cables and hoses are manufactured from flexible and sometimes heat-resistant materials such as rubber, PVC, silicone, polyurethane (PU) or fluoropolymers. These materials can be smooth, pliable or heat-treated, which places high demands on the adhesion, contrast and durability of the marking.
Challenges when marking cables & industrial hoses:
For most applications, we recommend inkjet marking (CIJ) due to its flexibility, high speed and ability to mark round surfaces without contact. For permanent marking and extreme environments, we recommend laser marking, especially for rubber and silicone-based hoses.
With Logimark's solutions, you get clear, durable and traceable markings that meet the requirements of today's modern cable and hose production.
