Clean, permanent marking for glass and plastics

UV laser marking is a practical choice when you need sharp detail on glass, clear plastics and other sensitive materials. The marking process is designed to create a lasting result without the heavy contact or messy consumables that can slow down production. For bottles, jars, cosmetic containers, technical parts and retail packaging, the finish is consistent and readable, even on small surfaces.

Clients come to us when ordinary labels are not enough, or when a product needs a mark that will stay put through handling, cleaning and transport. We work on sample pieces first, then advise on the best marking approach for your material, artwork and line speed. That includes careful testing for contrast, depth and legibility, because glass and plastics react differently and the right settings matter.

  • Permanent branding and product identification
  • Serial numbers, batch codes and traceability marks
  • Fine logos, text and intricate patterns
  • Marking on flat, curved and moulded surfaces

What we supply for production floors and workshops

Our supply covers complete UV marking solutions, from site demos through to installation and aftercare. We work with small workshops, busy factories and contract manufacturers that need repeatable results without stopping the line every few hours. The systems are set up for local conditions too, including dust, heat, coastal humidity and load-shedding planning where backup power or process scheduling is needed.

We do not just drop off equipment and leave. We help with machine placement, fixture design, software setup and line integration so the system fits the way you already work. If a job needs sample testing before purchase, we handle that as part of the process and explain what the mark will look like on the final material.

  • Site demos and sample testing
  • Machine installation and software setup
  • Fixture design and process optimisation
  • Spares supply and preventive maintenance

Industries that rely on precise identification

We serve a wide range of South African industries that need clean marking and reliable traceability. Some clients want branding that lifts the look of the product. Others need compliance, batch control or readable codes for warehouse and distribution handling. In every case, the aim is the same, a mark that stays clear and easy to read.

UV marking is used on items that pass through retail shelves, laboratories, production lines and export packing. It is especially useful where labels can peel, fade or cost too much to replace. We often work with businesses that need short runs today and repeat orders next month, so the marking process must be practical, quick and stable.

  • Glass packaging and containers
  • Cosmetics, toiletries and personal care products
  • Technical components and housings
  • Food and beverage packaging where clear identification is needed
  • Industrial parts that need traceability or batch control

How we work from first enquiry to training

Clients reach us through the enquiry form on our contact page, then we take it from there. The process starts with the material, the sample and the end use. After that, we recommend the right setup, arrange a demo where needed and confirm the marking result before installation. It keeps decisions practical and reduces surprises on site.

Once the machine is in place, we train operators and support staff so they can run jobs confidently. We also assist with process settings, maintenance intervals and spare parts planning. When a line needs attention later, our service team can help with breakdown repairs, software adjustments and optimisation, often with a quick turnaround.

  • Initial enquiry and requirement review
  • Sample testing and live demonstration
  • Installation, commissioning and operator training
  • Ongoing support, repairs and maintenance

Based in Jet Park, serving Ekurhuleni and beyond

UV Laser is based in Jet Park, Boksburg, with work carried out across Ekurhuleni and nationwide. We regularly assist clients in Boksburg, Germiston, Kempton Park, Benoni and Alberton, as well as Midrand and Pretoria. For businesses that need a local response or an on-site visit, being in the East Rand helps us move quickly and keep lead times sensible.

Because we do demos, installs and training across South Africa, we work with clients in different regions and production environments. That includes factories near transport routes, smaller operations in town centres and sites where municipal rules or building access affect installation planning. We keep the setup practical, whether the job is a one-off upgrade or a full production changeover.

  • Jet Park and Boksburg
  • Germiston, Kempton Park and Benoni
  • Alberton, Midrand and Pretoria
  • Nationwide demos, installations and training

Since 2009, built on repeat orders and practical support

We have been working in this field since 2009, and the business has grown through practical results rather than big promises. Clients stay with us because the marking holds up, the support is direct and the solutions are tailored to the job at hand. That matters when a production manager needs the line running before the afternoon shift starts, not tomorrow.

Riaan Pretorius leads the business as Managing Director, supported by Naledi Mokoena in Operations, Refilwe Mahlangu on applications, Anele Dlamini on training, Priya Naidoo in service administration and Thabo Khumalo on field installations. That team structure means clients deal with people who know the equipment, the process and the pressure of live production. It is a hands-on setup, and customers remember that when they need help again.

  • Founded in 2009
  • Direct support from an experienced team
  • Solutions matched to glass and plastics
  • Repeat clients who value consistency, training and response time
