Roll dies are a simple and easy solution for marking repetitive information on moving products.  They use less force than other indenting methods because only a fraction of the message is being indented at one time as the die rolls along the material. They are suitable for marking of a wide variety of products such as:

  • extruded building materials such as siding and roofing
  • bar, tube, conduit, and hose
  • wire and cable
  • gun barrels and parts
  • soft materials such as plastic, rubber, clay, and leather
Roll dies can be mounted on a shaft for continuous marking of moving materials or mounted in a roll marking machine, lathe, or screw machine for marking individual parts.

Engraved Roll Dies

For applications where the message does not change, an engraved roller die can be made with text or logos engraved in any character size or depth so you can achieve your desired mark. Dies are manufactured with high quality tool steel and heat treated for excellent performance and longevity.
