Spring-contact marking systems create neat, repeatable markings on parts moving through a production line. They extend toward the part to be marked and create a consistent, repeatable marking as the part passes by. Their marking tips are always exposed and can dry out if using fast-drying inks and fluids.

Jet-shot noncontact marking systems create fast-drying markings on items in production settings. They have nozzles that shoot a small amount of marking fluid without aerosolizing it. This makes them ideal for high-speed production lines where many markings per minute are needed.
