Applications by Material
Reliable marking on every surface
Different materials require different solutions. From porous to smooth, from absorbent to highly reflective – EBS delivers precise, durable marking tailored to your substrate.
The right solution starts with the material
Every surface behaves differently. Ink absorption, drying time and adhesion vary depending on the material. That’s why reliable industrial marking is not just about the printer – it’s about the perfect combination of system, ink and application.
EBS develops marking solutions that are precisely matched to your material – for consistent results, high contrast and long-lasting readability.

Metal and Glass
Clear, high-contrast marking on smooth and reflective surfaces. Designed for demanding environments and maximum durability.

Paper, Cardboard and Packaging
Fast-drying and reliable marking for absorbent materials in high-speed production lines.

Plastics and Films (PET)
Precise coding on flexible and non-absorbent materials. Optimized for modern packaging processes.

Wood and Building Materials
Robust marking solutions for rough, porous and dusty environments such as construction and material processing.
Why material matters
Marking performance depends on more than just the printer. Surface structure, moisture, temperature and production speed all influence the final result. Smooth materials like metal or plastic require fast-drying inks with strong adhesion. Porous materials like wood or cardboard need deeper penetration and controlled absorption.
EBS combines hardware and specially developed inks to ensure optimal performance on every material.
Specialized inks for difficult surfaces
High resistance to external influences
Consistent quality in industrial environments
More than printing: the right ink makes the difference
With over 140 ink formulations, EBS offers solutions for a wide range of materials and applications.
Each ink is developed to meet specific requirements – from high contrast and fast drying to resistance against heat, moisture or chemicals.
This ensures reliable marking even under challenging production conditions.
