Services
Branding Irons
Hamilton Rand specialises in custom branding irons for wood, leather, and food products. We create precision-engineered branding tools using fire-heated, electric, and ice branding methods. Our solutions cater to timber industries requiring IPPC seals, BBQ businesses marking food items, and leather artisans seeking permanent identification. Each iron is manufactured to order with 3mm raised designs for clear impressions.
Steel Marking Punches
Our steel marking punches deliver durable, permanent identification on industrial components. Using hardened tool steel, we produce custom stamps for machinery, jewellery, and manufacturing applications. Services include single-character punches, multi-character dies, and press-style stamps for mass production. All punches are engineered for clarity and longevity in challenging environments.
Stencil Marking
Hamilton Rand provides reusable Mylar and metal stencils for industrial and decorative applications. Our laser-cut stencils support warehouse logistics, military equipment marking, and aerospace components. We offer single-use prototypes and bulk production runs with options for self-adhesive or drilled fixing. Custom logo stencils enable brand consistency across products and facilities.
Industrial Engraving
We offer precision engraving for control panels, safety signs, and asset labels using stainless steel, traffolyte, and anodised aluminium. Our services include lift panel engraving, electrical labels, and mimics for industrial environments. All engravings meet durability standards for outdoor and high-wear applications, with options for self-adhesive or screw-fixed installations.
Badges Engraving
Hamilton Rand provides trophy and badge engraving services for sports, corporate awards, and commemorative items. Using diamond, laser, and pantograph techniques, we engrave text, logos, and crests on metal plaques, glass awards, and crystal trophies.

I cannot praise there customer service enough, they eased me throughput the process. Even though I changed the design, there response to emails were very quick and clear on pricing and layout. Once the design was agreed I got the item within days. The touch stamp was of excellent quality, built to last and heavy. I cannot thank them enough
Cheers

What a pleasure to deal with! Very professional, very fast, easy-to-use website and payment, and my branding iron delivered extremely quickly - and excellent quality. I could not ask for better and if I could give six stars, I would! I'd not hesitate to recommend
