The invention relates to a method for applying a marking within a marking area on an object, in which at least one light beam is emitted with light emitting means, scanning means are moved to deflect the light beam line by line over the marking area, while the light emitting means is switched between being activated or deactivated according to the marking to be applied. The method is characterized in that, for each start of a line movement of the light beam over the object, the scanning means is moved such that its deflection direction points at a line starting point outside the marking area and the scanning means is accelerated such that its deflection direction is accelerated from the line starting point towards the marking area, wherein the light emitting means is deactivated while the deflection direction points somewhere outside the marking area. The invention further relates to a corresponding marking apparatus.
