by Laurie Barcaskey Labeling allows identification to be applied and maintains component integrity with no deformation to the surface. Optional adhesives allow the labels to be used in various environments and offer tamper-evident options for security. While there are cost savings in some instances to have labels pre-printed and ready for on-demand application, at other times there is a distinct benefit to printing labels on-demand where label design is done in-house for quick edit corrections or job-specific requirements. Printing In-House In house printing provides flexibility for label details and printing/applying in individual work cells. Volume printing can be maximized through stocking materials for just-in-time printing. If you want to see some of these tools in action, check out the video below. Pre-Printed Labels Pre-printed labels allow you to brand the product with corporate logos and color schemes while heightening the specific product details or cautions associated with their use.

"We have been working with Laurie Barcaskey since 2014." said Foster Nickel the Toolroom Manger.
Foster explained, " We originally purchased an Automator Laser Engraver for marking our parts only for identification purposes. One day shortly after purchasing the engraver we found ourselves with a rush order for some debossed parts and the vendor we typically purchase our graphite anodes from could not meet our customer’s timeline. " "We don't have a high speed mill able to make the fine detail on the anodes required to meet our customer specifications and typically outsource this item. We were able to utilize the laser engraver to cut the graphite anode and then using our EDM sinker make our own debossing tool with laser point accuracy." said Foster, "This cut our lead time down from weeks to minutes and eliminated the cost of outsourcing completely." Foster found Leading Marks' Laurie Barcaskey very helpful. "Laurie offers good pricing, provides good service and is able to answer our questions. We would recommend her for your next project!"

by Laurie Barcaskey When I started Leading Marks in June of 2014 it was exciting, frightening and everything entrepreneurs prepare for (and some things they don’t!) Over the last three years I have researched and chosen vendors and products that are current with innovative solutions and supportive staff. This includes global names in the marking and traceability arena. Some I’ve known for years and others only more recently.
My interaction with you on these projects allowed me to gain insight to other manufacturing challenges. And I value the lessons I have learned, the information you have shared, and most of all for becoming not only my customer, but my friend. The one lesson I have learned is that “Traceability” is not an isolated need for any one particular industry. Traceability pertains to assets, and assets are defined by the organization, and the process. The asset has attributes that help define and track through the various process to help organizations capitalize on the information captured for delivery updates, insure stock availability, confirm proof of delivery, proof of work, and a multitude of other aspects that minimize an organizations risk. Should you be considering a project with me now, I hope to gain your trust and partner with you to implement the solution. Should you be considering a new marking or traceability project – give me a shot! ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Since she started Leading Marks, Neff have partnered with her for our marking requirements. She also makes referrals to us when automation is required." said, Rob Kozminski, Panel Shop Foreman at Neff.
"Leading Marks was able to help change our process for making panel plates. Previously we were going outside to engrave 2-ply materials, which caused lost production time for travel. With the new thermal printing process we are now able to print in-house and make adjustments to layouts as needed, and this printing process has also expanded our printing capabilities. It also allows us to use the printed label as a template for drilling holes for switches at the same time." continued Rob. "We would definitely recommend Leading Marks. Laurie is easy and pleasant to work with, and responds to emails and questions quickly. We appreciate her broad knowledge on marking technologies and that if she doesn’t know the answers she will put us in contact with someone who does." Join Leading Marks Founder, Laurie Barcaskey and the Pittsburgh Business Times to mix, mingle and network with Pittsburgh business professionals at BizMix at an evening networking reception. This event will be held in the second floor private event space at Roland's Seafood Grill in the Strip District.
