Professional labeling for demanding applications
Laser engraving foils for maximum resistance and durability
Whether as a barcode or inventory label, laser engraving labels ensure permanent, tamper-proof marking. The engravable foils are extremely durable, resistant to cleaning processes, and resistant to alkalis, acids, and solvents. They remain legible even after many years and are available in various colors, including white, black, and silver.
- Permanently legible marking for many years
- High resistance to chemicals, alkalis, acids and cleaning agents
- Permanently resistant labels at extreme temperatures and abrasion
- Counterfeit-proof due to laser engraving

Laser-inscribable Foil BY086PET from Avery
Was ist das Basismaterial (Facestock) der Folie BY086PET?
It is a white, heat-stabilized polyester film with a black laser-markable coating.
What adhesive is used on the BY086PET foil?
The S8029 adhesive is a rubber hybridized acrylic (RHA) and offers very high final adhesion, even on difficult-to-bond (low-energy) surfaces. It is also highly resistant to chemicals and temperature loads.
What is the backing material (liner) of the BY086PET foil?
The liner material is BG45 white FSC, a supercalendered glassine paper. It consists of FSC®-certified paper (FSC Mix Credit, Chain-of-Custody-No. CU-COC-807907, License code FSC-C004451).
Für welche Anwendungen ist die Folie BY086PET vorgesehen?
The foil is specially developed for laser marking and laser cutting. The black coating of the white polyester foil is removed with the laser, creating a white image. The emission is non-corrosive.
Typical applications are durable labels in the automotive sector (e.g. engine compartment applications, battery cells and modules of electric vehicles), as well as on heavy equipment, power tools, solar modules, air conditioners and other electrical appliances.
