Custom hand stamps are available in letters, numbers, logos, and special characters that meet your stamping requirements, in both size and composition. Inspector stamps allow permanent marking for quality control and seamless product flow.

Steel ID Stamps
Steel ID stamps are used throughout the industry to identify the type or grade of steel to allow accurate heat treat processing. By identifying how the steel needs to be processed and heat treated with a permanent mark, there are fewer mistakes and fewer rejected parts.
Our tool steel identification stamps have 1/8” characters, with blank size ½” x ¼” x 2½”. They also come in a convenient storage case.
