What's the difference between SAF-T Grip and Economy hand stamps?

SAF-T Grip stamps use our full triple-heat process and a heavier-duty shank, built for high-impact, repeated use. Economy stamps use a lighter heat treatment and smaller shank, suited to lower-impact, more cost-sensitive applications.

Can I get a custom logo stamped, not just letters and numbers?

Yes. Our custom engraved marking dies are manufactured to your specifications in any size or shape, including logos, branding marks, and graduation dies.

What's the difference between MAC, wedge, and step type?

They differ in how the type is mounted and ground. MAC type is straight or straight-groove for hand, machine, or press holders. Wedge type is precision-ground for 3-inch roll holders and concave holders. Step type is precision-engraved for hand, machine, or press holders. Our engineers can confirm which fits your holder.

Do you offer custom sizes beyond your standard stock?

Yes, across type and custom dies. Talk to an engineer about your specific requirement.
