No matter your choice, the result is branding that doesn’t just sit on your product—it enhances it, making your brand unforgettable at first touch.
Reduce Expenses Without Sacrificing Precision ... Stock Dies
We offer flat blanks and 3D-formed edge stock with ready-to-use dies for standard shapes. Simply provide your artwork and confirm your decoration details, and we’ll quickly generate pricing for you within 24 hours. Using stock dies is a cost-effective option, with the added advantage of tools being production-ready. In some cases, a small modification fee may apply to tailor the tool to your specific design. If a stock die doesn’t fit your needs, we can create a fully custom tool to bring your unique vision to life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between embossing and debossing?
Embossing raises the design above the material's surface (2D & 3D), while debossing presses the design into the material, creating an indented effect.
Are there limitations on design complexity for embossing?
While stamped logos can achieve detailed designs, there are limitations based on material thickness and tooling capabilities. It's essential to ensure that lines and spaces meet minimum width requirements to maintain design integrity. For extremely complex and intricate designs, electroforming can be utilized, but there are limitations to the design and text height.
What file formats are available for artwork submission?
The preferred file format for artwork submission is Adobe Illustrator (AI), but other vector files that are acceptable include:
- Encapsulated Postscript (.eps)
