Flame-Heated Cardboard Branding Iron

A non-electric branding iron with a custom brass head, hardwood grip and metal connecting rod. This option suits occasional work where you can manage heating between impressions.

Your configuration

• Custom-machined brass working head with a rectangular body for positioning.
• Lacquered hardwood grip and stainless steel connecting rod.
• The existing flame-heated wood model’s nineteen head sizes.
• Separate heating equipment required; it is not included.

Heat the head separately using equipment permitted by the tool instructions, then test on identical spare cardboard. Keep the heating station away from boxes and paper scraps. Never apply an open flame directly to the packaging.

Before branding your boxes

Identify the liner and any coating with your packaging supplier. Support the marking panel on a stable surface; assembled empty boxes need backing immediately behind the logo area. Test heat, contact time and placement on identical spare material. Our archive photo shows a historical electric-branding result, not a test of every model or size offered here.

Selected head size and finished logo dimensions are confirmed in your digital proof. These brass tools create a dark heat-branded mark; metallic foil requires a separate process.
