Flawless Precision, Zero Damage

Laser Etching Glass 

For permanent, high-contrast marks without cracks or stress fractures, UV laser technology is the only real choice for laser engraving glass, from labware and windscreens to drinkware and optics.

Why Choose UV for Laser Engraving Glass?

Glass is used in everything from chemistry labware and automotive windscreens to drinkware, sunglasses, and high-end packaging. However, traditional CO₂ lasers generate heat, creating microcracks and structural damage.

UV lasers offer a superior solution, engraving glass with cold, non-thermal processing that prevents fractures, preserves integrity, and delivers ultra-fine detail. This makes it ideal for permanent branding, traceability codes, and intricate designs without compromising durability.

Why use a UV laser instead of printing glass?

With no consumables, low maintenance, and high-speed precision, UV laser engraving glass ensures cost-effective, reliable, and damage-free results, making it the gold standard for industries demanding flawless markings.

Our UV laser marking systems are 3D as standard, so it can mark curvatures on your product, at speed and with exceptional precision, without the need of any complicated add-ons.

The final mark is extremely high-definition, permanent and without waste.

Marking Glass: The UV Difference

Different to CO2 or Fiber lasers, the UV laser does not damage the material surrounding the surface of an object, making it the most suitable wavelength for laser marking glass. Using significantly less heat than other wavelengths such as CO2, the UV laser shoots high-energy photons in the ultraviolet spectrum that break the chemical bonds in the material, causing the material to undergo non-thermal process damage. 

Ultimate flexibility

The Power of 3-Axis

When it comes to marking glass drinking vessels, you can achieve unbeatable results with a state-of-the-art 3-axis beam. Our machines come equipped with 3D technology as standard, meaning it’s never been easier to mark curvatures on your creations. Even better, when combined with the rotary system, you can achieve maximum quality across almost any-shaped surface that is within scope of the technology.
