QRDevices Enters into Agreement with Laser Micromachining Company Potomac Photonics for QR Code Products & Services
Lanham, MD October 20, 2011: QRDevices, LLC has entered into an agreement with Potomac Photonics for the laser marking of QR Code [Quick Response Code] products and services.
Under the terms of the agreement, QRDevices will assist with marketing & sales of Potomac QR Code contract services for companies in the medical device, sensor, MEMS, electronics, industrial, consumer product and advertising specialties markets. QRDevices appoints Potomac to mark items in their product lines.
Potomac’s laser coding and marking systems are able to mark virtually any material, including anodized metals, stainless steel, copper, plastics, glass, and even diamond. The laser marks are crisp and clean with no charring or burning of the underlying material. Laser marking is also possible on curved surfaces with no loss of clarity.
Most impressive is Potomac’s ability to mark micro QR codes for miniature devices or as part of a discrete anti-counterfeiting program. Laser marking is totally green as there are no inks or solvents required in any aspect of the process. Further, laser marking is indelible even on the hardest materials like glass or diamond.
With specialized laser marking software, Potomac can directly laser-etch QR Codes onto products made of almost any material. While these 2-D bar codes may seem simple to laser mark, creating codes that can be read across SmartPhone platforms is key to successful use of a QR Code in any product.

ABOUT QRDevices, LLC
Sarah Boisvert, created QRDevices, LLC when she realized printing QR Codes on business cards did not fully take advantage of the simplicity of the new 2-D Bar Codes. Going back to her roots in laser micromachining, she collaborated with Potomac to test materials. Thus the PaperlessBusinessCardTM and QRDevices was born.
The PaperlessBusinessCardTM is available on standard business card cases [especially good during this transition period during which some few people will not have SmartPhones], key chains, lapel pins, pens, or any other easy to carry business accessory. It is part of the QRBizLink product line. Other product lines include QRPetLink, QRadLink, and QRMedLink.
