1. From Logo to Idea – What's Possible

A custom branding iron can incorporate almost any motif: logos, lettering, signatures, or symbols. The key is that the design is clear, high-contrast, and without fine color gradients. Company logos, names, or seals that are permanently burned onto wood or leather are particularly popular.

With a personalized iron, you leave an unmistakable mark on every workpiece – whether furniture, packaging, accessories, or craft products.

2. File Preparation & Engraving Technique

For your logo to be transferred perfectly, the template should be vector-based and black-and-white. We will assist you with this and convert your file accordingly. The engraving is then done with CNC technology directly into brass or stainless steel. This ensures durable, detailed engravings.

• Recommended file formats: SVG, PDF, AI, EPS
• Line thickness: minimum 0.5 mm
• Mirroring: The motif is automatically mirrored so that it appears correctly in the branding image.

3. Manufacturing the Branding Iron

After your design is approved, the engraving is precisely milled. Then, it is mounted onto a suitable heating plate or handle – depending on whether you want to work electrically or manually.

All steps are carried out by hand. This creates a tool that applies your logo razor-sharp, evenly, and durably – no matter the material.

4. Application: Your Logo on Wood, Leather & More

A logo branding iron is suitable for various materials. On wood, the branding appears natural and high-contrast, on leather, it's elegant and high-quality. Even cork or cardboard can be marked with the right temperature.

• Wood: 350–450 °C, 3–6 seconds contact time
• Leather: 180–250 °C, 1–2 seconds
• Cork: 150–180 °C, less than 1 second

For your branding to be permanent, the material should be dry, smooth, and free of varnishes or oils.

5. Tips for a Professional Result

• Perform a test brand before branding on the final workpiece.
• Note down temperature, contact time, and material type for repeatable results.
• Apply even pressure – heat creates the brand, not force.
• Maintain your branding iron regularly to remove resin and dust.
