Paired male and female dies working together to produce a readable mark in thin sheet material.

Embossing dies give a raised readable mark, debossing dies a sunken one.

In some cases, such as the embossing/debossing of envelopes, the female die/type can be dispensed with and a 'dummy' female made from materials such as hard nylon, rubber or aluminium can be used. However, the results will not be as distinct.

Dies can be made to suit many different applications:

  • Flat dies fitted to a press, produce a raised or sunken relief on pieces of flat sheet material (i.e. nameplates, decorative plaques, blister packaging, paper and cardboard)
  • Rotary dies are both rotated to produces a raised or sunken relief on thin walled circular components (i.e. components such as caps, canisters and tubes)

Information required to specify your requirement.

  • The inscription design and whether a raised or sunken readable mark is required.
  • The thickness and hardness of material to be marked.
  • The height or depth the relief needs to be raised or sunk.
  • The die blank dimensions.
 
Features
Inscriptions to your specification
 
High precision manufacture of both male and female die to ensure that material being formed flows evenly throughout the die without causing tear or shear.
 
Semi-shear dies can be specified to give high definition edges, whilst dispersing material thinly within the die without tearing.
 
CNC engraving capability enables complex designs to be accurately reproduced with excellent registration.
 
Made from the highest quality steels
 
In house heat treatment provides good control of dimensions and hardness
