Indenting can be achieved as part of the production line process or as a separate operation. Hand indenting is appropriate for permanent indenting applications at remote locations, or those with low production runs where the manufacturing process or shape does not allow for an automated indenting system.

	The ProPoint Series of products are rugged, programmable systems for permanently marking batch codes, part numbers, serial numbers, date and time codes and other variable information on a wide variety of plastics and hard metal surfaces up to 50 Rockwell C.
	Press indenting is useful for marking on products which require long production runs, precise mark registration and controlled marking. Indenting can be achieved as part of the production process or as a separate operation.
	Roll marking is used in applications where larger characters, longer legends and greater marking force are required that cannot be provided by the press indenting method. With the proper tooling, roll marking is used to mark on metal products with flat, concave, convex, recessed, round, cylindrical and conical surfaces.
	For logos, tradenames or other special requirements, Matthews steel dies can be manufactured to your exact specifications. We use the finest tool steels, heat treated for longer die life.
	Packaging type is designed for applications that require a permanent, indented, embossed or debossed mark on corrugated, chipboard, metal, plastics or other packaging materials. It's an inexpensive marking method because it doesn't require inks, hazardous waste disposal or skilled technicians to operate. Compatible with almost all major manufacturers' packaging equipment.
