Hot stamping is a versatile process that allows for permanent, clear marks to be made in a huge variety of materials. Of all the types of hot stamping, branding is possibly the most practical. Branding is the most cost-effective way to permanently mark almost any material, other than metal or most glasses of course. Branding allows for deep, permanent marks to be made in materials that often face harsh environments, like the PVC pipe shown in the video below.
Branding isn't just used for industrial applications, however. Branding is an excellent and often used marking solution for marking furniture or art with a trademark, logo, or company name. Branding is also used to identify tools or equipment for personal or security purposes.
Materials suitable for branding include cork, chamois, leather, plastics, paper, rubber, wood, particle board 
and wallboard, even meat and cheese! Some of the most common applications include:
- Scaffolds / Ladders
- Utility Poles
- Lumber
- Batteries
- Tires
- Reels / Spools
- Plastic Parts
- Handmade Crafts
- Wooden Boxes / Pallets
- Furniture / Cabinets
- Tools
- Saddles & Leather
- Sporting Goods
- Baseball Bats
- Cheese / Other food
- Cork
