Tires are vital vehicle safety parts. In production, warehousing, sales and retreading, markings must be durable, clear and traceable. Traditional inkjet printing, stickers and hot stamping easily fade from oil, friction and sunlight. They work poorly on curved tire surfaces, cost much for modification, and hardly connect with digital systems, failing tire‑industry traceability & anti‑counterfeiting requirements.

Many customers face data loss from unreadable tire marks. Re‑spraying and re‑labelling waste labor and consumables. Common pain points:

1. Inkjet printing: Ink sits only on rubber surface. Fades under sun, friction and chemicals; serial numbers become untraceable.

2. Paper/plastic stickers: Poor grip on curved tire sidewalls. Fall off with oil, water or vibration; easy to tamper with and costly to maintain.

Custom‑built for rubber tires, the LZY hand‑held laser marker solves tire marking challenges at root.

Core Benefits

 ✅ Permanent Engraving Bonded to Rubber

Laser carves directly into tire rubber, not just surface‑stuck prints. Markings (text, logos, codes) resist friction, water, oil and extreme temperatures. Remain legible after long‑time driving or outdoor storage. Cannot wipe off simply. Prevents tampering and supports asset traceability & batch management.

 ✅ Safe for Field Operation

Marking gun with full protective structure meets EU CE standards. Built‑in laser safety shield blocks scattered laser light. Emergency‑stop button protects operators, compliant for factory and yard‑site work.

 ✅ Hand‑held Operation: No Tire Relocation Needed

Benchtop markers require moving heavy OTR / heavy‑truck tires to workstations. This LZY handheld unit uses swappable lithium batteries (battery or mains power). Light‑weight gun for one‑hand use. Mark tires on‑site inside warehouses, yards or parking lots, saving massive labor & time.

 ✅ Easy Touch‑Screen Control

7‑inch HD capacitive touch screen, powered by self‑developed Linux OS. Import logos & batch serial numbers with one click, no complex PC connection. Short training for operators. Perfect for fleet tire archiving and retread‑tire re‑marking.

✅ Consumable‑Free & Eco‑Friendly

No ink, solvent or labels needed. Zero chemical waste. Cuts long‑term operational costs for high‑volume tire marking.

 Customer Success Story | Shandong Heavy‑Duty Tire Manufacturer

Background: Produces large OTR & heavy‑truck tires, annual output ~80,000 pieces.

Old Issues

- Frequent mold swaps: 2‑3 hrs downtime per spec change, over ¥50,000 annual mold maintenance cost.

- Heavy finished tires need forklift transport (≈15 min per move).

- Hot stamping fails to deliver clear, consistent marks on highly curved OTR tire sidewalls.

Solution: 3 sets of LZY 60 W battery‑powered handheld tire laser markers (2025).

Results

‑ Mark tires in‑situ; fast re‑marking for stock tires in warehouse

‑ Edit batch numbers, serial numbers & QR codes in‑software. No new molds for spec updates

‑ Permanent anti‑wear marks. One‑object‑one‑code for full‑chain traceability across production‑warehousing‑distribution

‑ Works with factory MES system, auto‑sync marking data and reduce manual entry errors

> “Large OTR tires used to take forklift transfers for marking. Now two operators can finish re‑marking around the warehouse. No molds needed for new specs, QR‑codes can be engraved directly. We get much better channel control and lower overall costs.”
