Property Marking Scheme

What is property marking?

Property Marking is a way of deterring theft by engraving an identifier or EIRCODE on personal property. It also helps An Garda Siochana to reunite lost or stolen items with their owners

The machine can be used on many materials including wood, leather, plastic, carbon fibre, and metal, and many items such as bicycles, scooters, trailers, lawnmowers, and other valuable equipment and machinery. It can be used for household and farming items.
