Laser Marking

What is Laser Making?

Laser Marking in Supply Chain Traceability

When integrated with a track and trace system, laser-marked identifiers allow every unit to be followed from the point of manufacture through distribution to the end consumer. Manufacturers encode product origin, production batch, and chain-of-custody data into laser-marked QR codes or data matrix codes, which are scanned and verified at each stage of the supply chain. This level of visibility reduces the risk of counterfeit goods entering distribution networks and gives brands the data infrastructure needed to detect and act on product diversion.

When paired with Acviss Origin, laser-marked codes become the physical anchor for end-to-end supply chain visibility across warehouses, logistics partners, and retail environments  providing manufacturers with real-time alerts when products are scanned outside authorised territories.

How Large-Scale Manufacturers Use Laser Marking

Manufacturers in pharmaceuticals, FMCG, automotive, and electronics apply laser marking systems including fibre laser, CO₂ laser, and UV laser technologies, at line speeds that support high-volume production without creating bottlenecks. Laser marking is applied directly to glass, metal, plastic, and packaging board, making it compatible with nearly all primary and secondary packaging formats used at industrial scale.

Beyond compliance and traceability, laser marking supports product authentication by enabling consumers and distribution partners to scan and verify genuine products. When the laser-marked code is connected to an authentication platform, each scan confirms product legitimacy in real time, giving both the manufacturer and the end buyer confidence that the product is genuine and has moved through authorised channels.

Why Laser Marking Matters for Manufacturers

Counterfeiting in agro products involves fake seeds, which may be adulterated, mislabeled or entirely different from the advertised variety. Farmers who unwittingly purchase counterfeit seeds may experience reduced yields, crop failure or susceptibility to pests and diseases, leading to financial losses and diminished livelihoods. Similarly, counterfeit fertilizers and pesticides contain substandard or harmful ingredients, compromising soil fertility, crop health and environmental safety.
