Make your mark with a Co2 laser on Alumamark. 
Alumamark is a specially treated anodized aluminium sheet that changes colour when contacted with the energy of a Co2 laser. Consistent, one-step marking, without chemicals or fill. The Co2 laser creates the image within the anodized layer, resulting in smooth-surface graphics with exceptional resolution. 



Sharp 
High contrast, easy to read graphics on gold or silver metal
Possibility to control image color by the laser power : brown, grey, or black color possible.
The best resolution capability of any markable metal.

Durable 
Excellent durability with resistance to corrosion (35 years) , heat (250°C)…

Easy 
Compatible with all Co2 lasers (galvanometric or rail guided).
