In the continuous marking system, where is the marking stenciled on the stock?

In a continuous marking system, the marking is applied along the entire length of the stock. This method ensures that all parts of the section are identified and traceable, allowing for seamless integration into manufacturing processes. Continuous markings are particularly useful in applications where stock is used in long runs or for creating multiple components, as they allow for easy tracking and quality control throughout production.

Marking the entire length can signify various qualities such as the material type, production batch, or any specifications necessary for safety and compliance. This helps in minimizing the risk of errors and facilitates easier identification during fabrication or assembly. By marking the entire length, it ensures that regardless of how the stock is cut or used, the relevant information remains accessible and visible.
