About MarkIDent
MarkIDent is a German company for industrial marking and labelling technology based in Bietigheim-Bissingen with a second site in Bodman-Ludwigshafen. Its offering includes consulting, sales, system engineering, installation, commissioning, service and maintenance of labelling systems, continuous InkJet systems and laser engraving and cutting systems. In-house labelling systems such as the LaRoSy 2000 large-format labeller are manufactured with Siemens S7-1200/1500 controllers and integrated into existing production and packaging lines. As a partner of the manufacturers Hitachi (InkJet), Universal Laser Systems (laser) as well as SATO, Zebra, Toshiba and Brother (thermal transfer printers), the company also supplies consumables such as labels made of paper, PE, PP and PET as well as thermal transfer ribbons, partly under its own brand. Its customers come from cross-industry production environments, in particular pallet labelling as well as the paper and cardboard industry. MarkIDent has over 30 years of experience in labelling and more than 10 years of experience with laser engraving and cutting systems.

Materials and Processes
Polyimide (Kapton)
Particularly well suited to laser processing with the CO2 laser tube at 9300 nm from Universal Laser Systems.
PET (polyester)
Label material with high temperature resistance up to +120 °C, among other things for type and serial number plates.
PE (polyethylene)
Label material with good properties for flexible applications.
PP (polypropylene)
Label material with higher resistance for industrial labelling.
PVC
Face stock for film labels, printable with resin thermal transfer ribbons.
Paper
Standard material for labels and thermal direct labels in various grades.
Cardboard
Material for tag labels and packaging labelling.
Continuous InkJet (CIJ)
Continuous marking in production environments with Hitachi systems.
Thermal transfer printing
Printing process with resolutions of 203, 306 and 609 dpi for labels made of various materials.
Laser marking and laser cutting
CO2 and fibre lasers for permanent marking, precise cutting and engraving of a wide variety of materials.
