F&S Engraving works with supply manufacturers that provide stamps and dies used by the firearm industry. All firearms are stamped with serial numbers for federal and state registration. They are stamped with sharp-faced dies to mark model number, gauge, and manufacturer name and location. Sharp-faced stamps create micro fissures, which still allow guns to be identified when the number is filed down. Sharp-faced roll dies are also used by rifle manufacturers for creating checkering and other designs on guns stocks. Roll marking dies are used for marking range and distance calibrations for rifle scopes and other components, such as silencers used within the firearm industry.

F&S Engraving manufactures hot stamp dies for marking and decorating a wide range of plastic products for the appliance, automotive, toy, recreation, and stereo components industries. F&S is engaged with customers to provide mold engraving services to meet their specifications.

F&S Engraving manufactures roll dies for roll forming manufacturers, which are used for putting on product identification and date code requirements. For example, the metal strip between windowpanes is stamped for identification. Dies are used on punch press and break press applications to apply logos and designs during the manufacturing of products. Embossing dies are used in the automotive industry on tailgates and air cleaners. The metal forming industry is ever changing and F&S Engraving can accommodate your changing needs.

F&S Engraving supplies many food processing facilities with the sharp-faced stamps for date coding a wide variety of products. Stamps are also used to apply the date of manufacture or expiration on dairy milk cartons, shelf stable products, bag lettuce, cookies and cracker packs, ice cream cartons and other food packages.

Embossing is an art which is a challenge. Highly embossed lithographic products are our art. J.L. Clark is proud of its national design awards. F&S was the engraver on those award-winning designs. I consider it a partnership in value and quality.

The experience and precision of master craftsmen, quality, and quick delivery are all vital in the aerospace industry and F&S Engraving exceeds expectations in all those areas.

We machine stamps for part and product identification, allowing for traceability for the duration of manufacturing. As the part is machined, the part is remarked, if necessary, to ensure continued traceability. If there is failure of the part, the date or lot can then be identified. The aerospace industry primarily uses sharp-faced stamps and low stress stamps.

Low stress characters are comprised of dots, providing marking without putting added surface stress on the part. These are also referred to as aerostamps. They are used to avoid creating breakage points and risking diminishing the safety and integrity of the part. The experience of F&S Engraving’s master craftsmen ensures the quality and safety of the end product you expect.
