2512BL Automotive VIN Labeling Solution

Basic Application Information

Existing Process & Problems

A VIN is the unique identity code of a vehicle and must remain readable throughout manufacturing, registration, insurance inspection, maintenance, ownership transfer, and accident verification.

Conventional printed labels may fade, wear, or become damaged after long-term exposure to sunlight, temperature changes, moisture, cleaning agents, and abrasion. VIN labels must therefore provide durable adhesion, stable readability, and resistance to removal or unauthorized replacement across different vehicle locations.

Solution

The 2512BL is designed for laser marking of VIN characters, barcodes, and QR codes. Because the information is created by laser rather than ink printing, the mark is less likely to fade, smear, or wear away.

The material supports variable data marking for one-vehicle-one-code identification and can be integrated with production databases, scanning systems, and vehicle records. When combined with a tamper-resistant label construction, attempted removal can visibly damage the label or marking, helping reduce the risk of transfer and VIN manipulation.

Application Advantages

• Durable laser marking: clear identification without ink fading or smudging.
• Variable data capability: supports VINs, barcodes, and QR codes.
• Tamper resistance: helps prevent unauthorized removal and label transfer.
• Long-term reliability: suited to automotive temperature, humidity, light, and abrasion conditions.
• Traceability support: connects vehicle data with production, inspection, and after-sales systems.
• Multiple-location compatibility: suitable for windshield, B-pillar, door jamb, and under-seat VIN applications.
