A laser-marking medium comprises at least a base layer and a masking layer formed on one side of a support element in the stated order. The base layer has laser light absorptivity, and the masking layer contains metal powder and a white pigment. A laser beam applied to the laser-marking medium is absorbed by the base layer having laser light absorptivity, and the base layer heats and breaks, whereby the masking layer in the laser applied region is removed, and a lightness difference is generated between a laser beam non-applied region of the masking layer and the laser beam applied region with the masking layer removed so as to make marks in the laser beam applied region distinctly visible.
