How to Order High-Quality Steel Type for Marking Your Products

When it comes to marking your products with a steel stamp, choosing the right steel type is crucial. Not only does it ensure precise and durable markings, but it also reflects the quality of your brand. At Numberall, we offer high-quality steel type that exceeds the competition in both precision and durability. Here’s your step-by-step guide to ordering steel type for your marking needs.

Step 1: Choose Your Steel Type

Numberall has been a trusted name in the industry since 1930, proudly manufacturing in the USA. We offer a complete line of standard steel type available from stock, ensuring that you get exactly what you need without the wait. For those unique applications, we also specialize in custom steel type. Whether you need type for packaging machinery, other machine designs, or even brass type, we’ve got you covered.

Step 2: Select the Style of Your Steel Type

We understand that different applications require different styles. That’s why Numberall manufactures a variety of styles to meet your specific needs. These include:

  •  Plain Body: This style has a uniform shape without any additional modifications, making it versatile and easy to use in various applications.
  • Offset: Offset type features characters that are positioned slightly off-center, which is useful for specific marking requirements and ensuring consistent impressions.
  • Tapered: Tapered type has a conical shape that allows for easier alignment and removal, especially in applications where precise placement is crucial.
  • Special Notches: These notches are custom-designed to fit specific machinery or marking needs, providing stability and preventing rotation during the marking process.
  • Double Notches: Similar to special notches, double notches offer added stability and alignment, making them ideal for high-precision marking tasks.
  • Rectangular: Rectangular type provides a broad surface area, ensuring clear and distinct markings, particularly useful for larger or more detailed characters.
  • Square: Square type offers uniformity and precision, commonly used in applications where consistent spacing and alignment are essential.
  • Round: Round type is designed for applications requiring circular impressions or for use in rotary marking machines.

If your style is not listed, don’t worry—we can still make it! Just provide a detailed print or a sample character for quoting.

Step 3: Submit Your Detailed Print or Sample Character

To ensure precision and accuracy, a detailed print or a sample character is required for quoting. This helps us match the exact specifications you need.

Step 4: Expect Prompt Delivery

At Numberall, we pride ourselves on our efficient production process. Depending on the material, delivery can range from 1 to 3 weeks. You can rest assured knowing your steel type is made with the highest quality standards right here in the USA.
