Electric Branding Irons

Branding for Security Marking

Electrically heated branding irons can be supplied for many operations.

Electrically heated branding irons are supplied to offices, factories, farms, schools and colleges to mark computers, tools and other valuable items of equipment with the postcode, to act as an active theft deterrent. The branding iron has a wooden handle and the element is heated by simply plugging into the mains electricity. The three models of branding iron detailed below are supplied with a voltage regulator to adjust the temperature of the 'die', so that the operator can achieve the best mark in a number of different materials (i.e. wood, plastic, rubber, Foamex etc.). The branding iron can be supplied with the die depicting your postcode in one of three standard sizes. If you require a different size or a particular typeface please call us to discuss your requirements.

Branding for Personalisation and Identification

Electrically heated branding irons are chosen by many businesses in preference to stamping, or stencils, as the brand can depict a design, logo, trademark, registration number, company name and/or address and phone number, website address, or 'The Property of' etc., and when applied be a permanent mark that cannot be removed without physically damaging the work piece. The branded mark can broadcast that you made it, or that it belongs to you. We have an extensive customer base from international organisations to small craft businesses, and even individuals.

These branding irons are very convenient to use, as they do not require an outside heat source. You can specify either 240 or 110 volt tools whichever is best for your needs. They can be supplied with a voltage regulator to adjust the branding irons 'die' temperature if a variety of materials, such as plastics, woods, or rubber are to be branded. The die can be engraved with practically any design or lettering and we are always pleased to discuss your ideas and quote for personalised branding irons.

Branding for Craftsmen: There is a growing demand from wood-turners, wood workers, wood carvers and cabinet makers, who find this traditional method of marking the most acceptable and sympathetic way of personalising their products.

E.E.C Directives: We are finding that E.U. directives are increasingly dictating that goods and materials should be marked with their origin, for tracking. Wooden items from pallets to furniture may need there origin marked. Abattoirs need to mark certain meats with their E.C. registration number for traceability.

Wood or Plastic Pallets: Branding wooden or plastic pallets is an ideal method of highlighting these items as your property and that they should be returned to you after use. Pallets are used to transport goods around the country and throughout Europe and can often end up in some very obscure places making them hard to retrieve. If they are not marked they will never be returned and you will incur the expense of replacement.

Branding is extensively used by companies who need to mark their forestry commission logo and registration number permanently onto their pallets, or other timber products.

Road Works Furniture: Many road contractors now find a need to mark road works furniture, traffic cones, traffic barriers and even the tyres of earth moving diggers and machinery, as these are often left on site for a lengthy time and their rightful owner may be hard to trace in order that they are safely returned when a contract is complete. Also if they are stolen you can prove they are your property.

Motor Sport: We are regularly contacted by motor sport preparation companies for branding irons to mark E.C. type approval numbers on cars and equipment. Many people are now branding vehicle tyres and tools; this practice is used in the motor racing industry particularly to identify which racing tyres are designated for a particular event. Others use the permanent distinctive mark made by branding irons to advertise the trademark or symbol of their sponsor. Household names such as M. Sport, Prodrive and Red Bull have all used our branding irons recently.

Other Security Marking applications

Pubs and Restaurants are providing outside/smoking areas, in readiness for the imminent NO SMOKING laws coming into effect this summer. Owners and managers have already found that the opportunist thief is targeting their furniture and equipment, which is often out of the immediate sight of the staff. Many hundreds of pounds of equipment can disappear in seconds, and on top of that loss is the ongoing loss of business until it can be replaced. Branding with a Name, Postcode or symbol discourages the potential thief and should items get stolen it makes them identifiable as your property if it is recovered.

Branding irons to mark wooden furniture are often cheaper than those mentioned above as branding wood does not require a temperature control unit. If you have a suitable heat source we can supply fire brands that are physically heated in a forge, open fire or even a barbeque, call us to discuss the best option for you and we can give you a price, and delivery date.

The Branding iron 'die' can be engraved with practically any design or lettering and we are always pleased to discuss your ideas and quote for personalized branding irons. We can supply branding irons with a image size from a 2-3mm wide up to over 200mm wide.
