What is a lamacoid?
A lamacoid is a rigid plastic ID plate with a coloured surface over a contrasting core. Engraving cuts through the surface, so the core colour forms the letters. There's no ink to fade and no film to peel. Electricians use lamacoids for panels, breakers, MCCs and equipment. Llamacoids Inc engraves them same day in Burlington, Ontario and ships across Canada.

Lamacoid questions
Is lamacoid a brand name?
It started as a trade name and became the generic Canadian word for an engraved plastic tag. Today it describes the product, not one company's material.
How do you spell lamicoid?
L-A-M-I-C-O-I-D. Lamicoid and lamacoid are two spellings of the same word for the same plate. Our company, Llamacoids Inc, is spelled with two Ls.
How do you pronounce lamacoid?
LAM-uh-coyd.
What is lamacoid made of?
Plastic laminate. The laminate we run is two-colour acrylic, 1/16" (1.6 mm) for everyday tags and 1/8" for stiffer plates. It's rigid and doesn't conduct electricity.
What machine makes a lamacoid?
A laser or rotary engraver. Ours is a Trotec Speedy 400 laser. A label printer can't make one, because a lamacoid is engraved, not printed.
Is a lamacoid a sticker?
No, though it can stick on. A lamacoid label is an engraved plate with adhesive backing, so the letters are cut in and can't peel off the way a printed sticker can.
Where can I buy a lamacoid in Canada?
Order online from us in Burlington, Ontario. There's no minimum, typical jobs are engraved the same day the proof is approved, and we ship anywhere in Canada by Canada Post or courier.
