Branding stamps have a long history of craftsmanship and offer a unique way to permanently personalize products and artwork. Whether you're a small business owner branding your wares or a hobbyist looking to hone your craft, choosing the right stamp is crucial.
There are a variety of branding irons on the market, each designed for specific materials and applications. Electric branding irons are ideal for regular use as they provide a consistent heat and heat up quickly. Traditional branding irons, which are heated manually, offer a more authentic experience and are often the choice for artisans who value traditional techniques.
Wood:
Our branding irons reach a temperature of around 450 degrees Celsius.
This is the optimal temperature for branding wood.
Very fine, smooth woods may require less heat.
This can be reduced by a power regulator.
The power regulator is then simply inserted between the branding iron and the socket.
Leather:
Leather requires finer control of temperature during branding to avoid damage.
For almost all types of leather, a power regulator is required to reduce the temperature.
Plastic:
When branding plastic, it is important to note that it will melt when it comes into contact with a hot branding iron and will not burn on the surface like wood.
This usually results in a depression in the material.
Due to the large number of different plastics, it is not possible to determine in advance at which temperature one must work.
For plastic, a power regulator is usually required to reduce the temperature.
Of course, there are many other materials that are well suited for branding, such as felt, cardboard, fabric, paper, etc.
We have also conducted experiments with soap, wax, fire hose and many other materials provided to us by customers.
Please feel free to contact us, we will advise you or carry out test branding on your individual material.
