Why You Should Use Steel Stamps for Marking

Steel Stamps: The Foundation of Permanent Marking for Modern Industry
For over 90 years, Numberall Stamp & Tool Co. has provided the manufacturing sector with equipment that is both proven and dependable. While new technologies for metal marking continue to emerge, the robust and reliable nature of steel stamps for marking remains a core solution for industrial part traceability.
We have a long-standing commitment to innovation, but we also recognize the value of tools built for performance and longevity. Our steel stamps offer a powerful, cost-effective, and permanent method for marking a wide range of hard materials.
Why Steel Stamps Are an Indispensable Tool
Steel stamps continue to be a go-to marking method because they offer a unique combination of practical benefits.
- Economical and Durable: Steel hand stamps are one of our most cost-effective marking solutions. They are built from high-impact tool steel, precision heat-treated to withstand repeated blows without chipping. The result is a tool that delivers an effective mark and lasts for decades.
- Indelible and Clear: The primary function of a steel stamp is to create an indent marking that physically displaces the material. This permanent mark will not fade or be removed by harsh environments, chemicals, or abrasion, making it ideal for meeting rigorous industry standards.
- Unmatched Versatility: Our standard letter and number sets provide all the options needed for serializing and identification. We also create custom steel stamps, including multi-character stamps, press dies, and trademarks, designed to meet the exact requirements of your business.

Where Steel Stamps Excel in a Modern Environment
While automated systems like dot peen and laser marking are fast, steel stamps provide an optimal solution for specific applications.
• Low-Volume and Custom Jobs: For lower production volumes or unique marking tasks, a steel stamp provides the flexibility and control that automated machinery cannot match.
• Operational Independence: Steel stamps operate without a power source, making them an ideal choice for marking in remote locations or where electricity and air pressure are unavailable.
