- Polyamide (Nylon)
- Acrylic
- PET
- Engineered plastics
(Material suitability can vary depending on composition and additives.)
Industrial Surfaces & Components
Powder-coated parts
Painted surfaces
Anodised aluminium
Control and specification panels
Compliance plates
Asset tags and serial plates
As a non-contact process, fibre laser marking eliminates mechanical stress and material distortion, ensuring precise, repeatable results — ideal for fabricated components, finished assemblies and production runs.
Why Choose Laser Etching?
Permanent & Durable
Markings are etched directly into the surface, creating long-lasting identification that won’t peel, fade or wear off.
High Precision Detail
Crisp, fine lines allow for detailed logos, serial numbers, barcodes and compliance information.
Fast & Repeatable
Ideal for batch production, part numbering and consistent repeat runs without variation.
Non-Contact Process
No mechanical pressure or tool wear, meaning no distortion or damage to your components.
Professional Finish
Clean, sharp results that enhance product presentation and meet industrial standards.
If your project requires accuracy, permanence and a clean industrial finish — laser etching is the right solution.
Laser Etching vs Traditional Engraving?
Laser etching produces permanent, high-contrast markings without distorting or stressing the material.
It is ideal for compliance requirements, appliance panels, asset tracking and repeat production runs.
How It Works
Our galvo laser system directs a high-speed beam across the material surface, precisely altering the top layer to create permanent marking.
Because the process is non-contact:
There is no material deformation
No clamping pressure marks
No tool degradation
Minimal setup time
The result is sharp, repeatable and production-ready marking suitable for industrial and commercial applications.
Integrated Manufacturing Solutions
Laser etching is often the final precision step within a larger fabrication project.
At Southern Stainless, components move seamlessly from fabrication to finishing to laser etching — all within our Ormeau facility. There’s no outsourcing, no unnecessary handling, and no breakdown in quality control.
This allows us to fabricate, finish, etch and assemble complete components entirely in-house — reducing delays, improving accuracy, and ensuring accountability at every stage.
Let’s ETCH Your Project — In-House
All laser etching is performed at our Ormeau facility, centrally located between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. We proudly service the Gold Coast, Brisbane, South East Queensland, and clients across Australia.
Keeping production in-house gives us complete control over quality, scheduling, and delivery. Nothing is outsourced. Every component is cut, inspected, and managed by our team — ensuring consistent standards, clear accountability, and dependable turnaround times.
