category of wood (green, dry, lacquered or raw, untreated)
manufacturing context (e.g. dusty environment)
production rate (integration of the tool on a production line possible, manual tool with different heating powers)
end use of the goods and required resistance conditions
type of design (standardized CE, EPAL, EUR or IPPC logos, personalized graphics)

These characteristics also make possible the choice of the material to be engraved to create the right wood marking instrument: steel, bronze, cast iron, magnesium, etc.

HOT MARKING/ BY BURNING

What is hot marking ? This is the most commonly used technique in the wood industry.
It leaves a fast, clear and lasting imprint on the material.

We sell portable manual devices and develop tools for integration into automated production lines. We also produce fire marks and burn marks in our workshop for the several needs of professionals. We design tailor-made devices from for the identification of wooden pallets (NIMP 15 standard) in the logistics sector, to the customized engraving of logos for any company.

We ask our customers to provide us, when it is possible, with DXF, DWG or EPS file. In most cases, a press proof is sent to them for approval before production, which allows us to be in perfect compliance with their requirements.

Ink marking

We offer all kinds of manual rubber stamps and customized stencils for fast, low-cost imprinting (CE, EPAL, EUR or IPPC standardized logos to ISPM 15, packaging symbols, fonts, specific graphics, etc.).
