Overview of MIL-STD-130 Marking Technologies &
Methods
Today, there are many MIL-STD-130 marking technologies that suit the production of IUID
labels for DoD compliance.
In addition, there are several options to consider when
determining the type and method of labeling – from nameplates and labels to direct part
marking.
A primary requirement of most IUID label applications is that all identification
remains legible, durable, and easy to scan for the full lifetime of parts or products it will be
used to identify.
In many scenarios, it’s helpful to begin making such decisions by examining
the substrate part, itself, prior to making a final conclusion.
Direct part marking applications, for example, are those that accommodate a wide array of
sizes and substrates with MIL-STD-130 marking technologies that include multiple lasers
and chemical etching.
Other popular marking technologies for direct part marking and even
label production make use of dot peen indenting.
