Process Date: August 2002

The PVC coated bottle in the photo was marked using a 10W laser and FH-Series marking head, with a 200 mm lens.  The text was marked at a speed of 25 inches per second in a cycle time of 0.27 seconds. 

   PVC marks very well with CO₂ lasers.   The material generally provides a brown contrasting mark easily readable with the human eye.  1D and 2D barcodes also generate the same type of contrast on PVC and can be read by barcode vision systems in production environments.

 
Contrasting marks resulted from laser marking this PVC coated bottle with a 10W laser.
