Medical Device
Traceability marking, UDI compliance, and precision decoration for regulated components
Medical device manufacturers face strict marking requirements — UDI compliance, lot traceability, and permanent identification that survives sterilization cycles. We've been marking medical components since 1986, working with OEMs on everything from handheld instruments to implantable device packaging.
Processes we use for this industry
Marking requirements
UDI compliance
FDA 21 CFR Part 830 — 2D DataMatrix and human-readable text on device and packaging
Sterilization resistance
Marks must survive autoclave (134°C steam), EtO, gamma, and hydrogen peroxide cycles
Biocompatibility
Ink and substrate combinations reviewed for ISO 10993 compatibility on request
Lot traceability
Variable data (lot, serial, date) printed per-part or per-batch with full records
What we mark
- Surgical instrument handles and grips
- Diagnostic device housings and panels
- Implantable device packaging and trays
- Infusion pump and monitor enclosures
- Single-use device identification
We work directly with OEM engineering and quality teams to validate marking processes before production. Sample approval, ink adhesion testing, and sterilization validation are standard parts of our onboarding for medical programs. All production records are retained for traceability.
Other industries we serve
Industry
Electronics
Durable marking on PCBs, enclosures, and control panels for industrial and consumer electronics
Electronics manufacturers need marks that survive assembly processes, cleaning solvents, and years of field use. We print on bare and coated metals, molded plastics, and glass — with ink systems selected for chemical and abrasion resistance.
Processes we use for this industry
Marking requirements
Chemical resistance
Marks must survive flux cleaners, isopropyl alcohol, and conformal coating processes
ESD compatibility
Ink systems available that don't interfere with ESD-sensitive assemblies
Fine detail
Legends, icons, and text down to 4pt with clean edges — critical for dense front panels
Compliance marking
CE, UL, FCC, RoHS, and custom regulatory marks applied with precision
What we mark
- Industrial control panel legends and overlays
- Electronic enclosure branding and compliance marks
- Membrane switch and keypad decoration
- PCB assembly identification and barcoding
- Consumer electronics housing decoration
Our electronics programs range from prototype runs of 25 pieces to ongoing production programs in the tens of thousands. We maintain color standards across runs and can match Pantone references for brand-critical applications. Ink adhesion testing on customer-supplied substrate samples is available before program launch.
Other industries we serve
Industry
Industrial Equipment
Heavy-duty marking for machinery, tools, and equipment that works in harsh environments
Industrial equipment operates in environments that destroy ordinary markings — UV exposure, chemical splash, abrasion, and extreme temperatures. We select ink systems and processes specifically for durability in the field, not just appearance on the line.
Processes we use for this industry
Marking requirements
UV and weathering resistance
Outdoor-rated ink systems for equipment exposed to sunlight, rain, and temperature cycling
Chemical and solvent resistance
Marks that survive hydraulic fluid, cutting oil, cleaning solvents, and fuel splash
Abrasion resistance
Thick ink deposits and hard-coat topcoats for high-contact surfaces
Safety compliance
OSHA and ANSI-compliant safety labels, warning graphics, and hazard indicators
What we mark
- Heavy machinery control panels and guards
- Power tool housings and grip surfaces
- Agricultural and construction equipment marking
- Safety and warning label programs
- Asset identification and serial number plates
Industrial programs often involve mixed substrates — powder-coated steel, cast aluminum, molded nylon, and rubber — all in the same assembly. We handle multi-substrate programs from a single source, coordinating process selection and ink systems to deliver consistent results across every component.
