A wood branding stamp allows you to easily apply a logo, letters or a name to wooden products. It is commonly used on:

  • Serving boards and chopping boards
  • Furniture and wooden panels
  • Wooden packaging and pallets
  • Promotional products and gifts
  • Nameplates and displays

Want to brand larger quantities of wooden products? One branding iron allows you to mark hundreds of products with the same logo quickly and consistently.

How do you burn a logo into wood?

You do this with a heat source such as a branding iron, pyrography pen or wood burner. Want to burn the same logo into wood repeatedly? An electric branding iron for wood is the best choice. It allows you to place the same brand mark in the same position each time, without manually tracing or engraving it.

With our wood branding stamp, you can burn a logo, text or letters into wood in just 3 seconds:

  • Heat the branding iron: Plug in the branding iron and allow it to heat up for 5 to 30 minutes to between 300 and 400°C, depending on its size.
  • Press the stamp onto the wood: Place it on a dry, clean and flat piece of wood and hold it evenly against the surface for 1 to 5 seconds.
  • Gently rock the stamp back and forth: This helps every part of the stamp make proper contact with the wood and creates an even impression.
  • Lift the stamp straight up: This keeps the brand mark clean and sharp.
  • Test it on scrap material first: This allows you to determine exactly how long to press for the best result on your actual product.

Tip: A voltage regulator keeps the temperature consistent. This is useful when branding several products in succession. Clean the stamp with our brush after use.

Want to create one unique design by hand? A pyrography pen or wood burner is a good choice.

How do you choose the right branding stamp size for your logo?

Choose the size based on the level of detail in your logo and where you want to burn the logo into the wood. A standard bank card measures approximately 86 × 54 mm. This makes it easy to see whether your logo will appear subtle, clearly visible or particularly large on the wood.

  • Small: 12–35 mm
    For initials, small icons, labels, keyrings and subtle markings.
  • Medium: 40–80 mm
    For serving boards, chopping boards, wooden packaging, furniture and promotional gifts.
  • Large: 100–140 mm
    For large logos, displays, panels, pallets and other prominent brand applications.

We make round branding stamps from 25 to 80 mm, square branding stamps from 12 × 12 to 120 × 120 mm and rectangular branding stamps from 12 × 35 to 35 × 140 mm. Need another size? Contact us about a custom branding iron.

Is my logo suitable for burning into wood?

Whether your logo can be branded clearly mainly depends on how readable the design is. A clean logo with clear shapes usually looks good in wood, while very fine lines or small letters can disappear more easily in the brand mark.

Pay particular attention to the following:

  • Make sure letters and details are large enough
  • Leave enough space between separate elements
  • Choose a larger stamp when the design contains many details

Before production, we check whether your logo is suitable for wood branding. Not sure about your design or the required size? Send us a message and we will review it with you.

How long does it take to heat the branding iron?

The heating time depends on the size of the branding iron and the material you’re working with.

In most cases, it takes between 5 and 30 minutes for the branding iron to reach the right temperature.

What affects the heating time?

  • Size: Larger branding irons take longer to heat up
  • Material: Different materials require different temperatures

Recommended temperatures

  • Wood: 300–400°C
  • Leather: approx. 150°C (avoid overheating to prevent burning)

Tip for best results

Always test your branding iron on scrap material first.
This helps you find the perfect temperature and avoid mistakes on your final product.

What problems can occur when burning a logo into wood?

The most common problems are an uneven impression caused by damp wood, burnt edges caused by excessive heat or a faint impression caused by insufficient heat. A dry surface, the correct temperature and a test impression on scrap material help prevent these problems.

Can I finish the wood with varnish, oil or stain after branding it?

Always apply the brand mark before varnishing or staining the wood. You cannot brand a varnished or stained surface. Branding after oiling is sometimes possible, but we advise against it as well. Burn your logo into the wood first and apply the finish afterwards.

Is any finishing required after creating the brand mark?

Usually not. In some cases, lightly sanding the wood can help remove small scorch marks around the logo if too much heat or pressure was applied. No other finishing is generally required. We are happy to advise you on the best finish for your material.

Which type of wood is best for a logo?

Our branding irons work on almost every type of wood. Hardwood such as oak, beech and walnut produces the sharpest and darkest result, while softwood such as spruce and pine burns more quickly. The most important thing is that the wood is dry, clean and flat, so the entire stamp makes proper contact.

How long does a burned logo remain visible?

A brand mark is burned into the wood itself and does not fade. It remains visible even with intensive use, moisture or sunlight. It will only disappear if the wood itself begins to rot. For outdoor use, we recommend applying a protective layer of oil or varnish. Always create the brand mark before applying varnish.

What file types do you accept when uploading a logo?

You can upload the following file types:
– .jpg
– .jpeg
– .png
– .svg
– .eps
– .psd
– .dxf
– .pdf (high quality)
– .ai (Adobe Illustrator)
– Vector files
– Word files

Please keep the following in mind when submitting your logo:
– High resolution (minimum size required)
– Clear and sharp contours
– Preferably a black-and-white logo

What will the logo look like on the branding iron?

Your logo will be converted into a black-and-white design, which is used to create a clean and precise engraving.

For the best result, we recommend uploading your logo in black and white or high contrast.

How is my design prepared?

  • Your image is optimized and converted into a production-ready design
  • Fine details are preserved as much as possible
  • The final result is a sharp and clear imprint on your product

If we have any doubts about how your logo will translate, we will always contact you before production.

100% satisfaction guaranteed

Simply mention your preference in the order notes, and we’ll take care of the rest.

If we have any doubts about how your logo will translate to a branding iron, we will always contact you before production via WhatsApp, phone or email.

Will shapes in my design (such as circles) be included in the branding iron?

Yes, all visible elements in your uploaded design — including shapes like circles — will be included by default.

Want to exclude certain elements?

No problem. Simply indicate in the order notes which parts of your design you would like to include or remove.

We always double-check

If anything is unclear, we will contact you before production via WhatsApp, phone or email to confirm the final design.

I sent an image with multiple lines and figures. Only a certain part should be included in the logo. Is this possible?

Yes, absolutely. You can indicate exactly which part of your image you would like us to use.

How does this work?

Is it possible to align the logo so that it is in the center?

Yes, your logo is always precisely centered on the branding iron as standard.

If you have specific preferences for the positioning, simply mention them in the order notes. We will make sure your logo is placed exactly as requested.

The image I uploaded has a gray dotted line. This is for reference only. Will this appear on the branding iron?

No, reference lines such as grey or dotted lines will not appear on the branding iron.

How do we handle your design?

We only use the elements that are meant to be part of your logo.

To be sure everything is exactly as you want, simply indicate in the order notes which parts of the image should be included or excluded.

Yes, absolutely. You can request a proof before production.

Simply mention in the order notes that you would like to receive a proof, and we’ll send it to you for approval before we start production.

Why don’t we send proofs by default?

We don’t automatically send proofs because 99.5% of our branding irons are correct on the first attempt. This allows us to keep the process fast and your delivery time short.

Which size fits my logo?

The best size depends on how you want your logo to appear on the branding iron.

How does sizing work?

Your logo is usually scaled to fill the branding iron as much as possible, while keeping the original proportions.

It’s also possible to place a smaller logo on a slightly larger plate.
For example: a 30 × 30 mm logo can be placed on a 35 × 35 mm branding iron.

Prefer a specific size or margin? Simply mention it in the order notes.

Which shape should i choose?

For the best result, we recommend matching the shape of your logo:

  • Rectangular logo → rectangular branding iron
  • Square logo → square branding iron
  • Round logo → round branding iron

Mix & match is also possible

You’re not limited to matching shapes. For example, a round logo on a square branding iron is also possible, depending on your preference.

How big will the logo on the branding iron be?

Your logo is always scaled to fill the branding iron as much as possible, while keeping the original proportions intact.

How does sizing work?

  • The longest side of your logo (width or height) determines the final size
  • The aspect ratio is never changed, so your design will not be stretched or distorted
  • We maintain a small margin of approximately 1.5 mm on each side to ensure a clean and precise result

What does this mean for your design?

Your logo will appear as large, sharp and clear as possible within the size of the branding iron.

Will the result of the branding iron be clear?

We always check all logos in advance. If we think the logo might not be clear, we will contact you. 99.5% of the branding stamps we produce are perfect on the first try.

Would you like to receive a test print? Please indicate this in the order notes. Do you have special requests for your uploaded image (for example, certain parts you want to leave out)? Please also indicate this in the notes.

100% satisfied or your money back
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We are the only company in the Netherlands that offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee on a custom-made product.

Is the result of an electric branding iron the same as a fire-heated branding iron?

Yes, the result is the same. The main difference is that an electric branding iron is easier to heat and simpler to use, as no external heating is required. In addition, an electric branding iron can maintain a constant temperature when used with a voltage regulator, making it easier to achieve consistent results.

Can you also supply larger branding irons than the standard sizes?

Yes, larger sizes are available on request.

What should you consider with larger branding irons?

For the best result, the surface you’re branding must be completely flat and evenly heated.

With larger branding irons, this can be more challenging, which may affect the clarity of the imprint.

Need advice on larger sizes?

We’re happy to help you choose the right size for your application.
Feel free to contact us via phone or email to discuss the possibilities.

Do you also sell replacement heating elements?

Yes! To order replacement heating elements for our branding irons, please contact us. The rod connecting the burner plate and the heating element must be the correct size. If it is not, the stamp may need to be modified, which could incur additional costs.

The rods suitable for our heating elements have diameters of 9.5 mm, 13 mm, and 19 mm. Contact us and we will gladly advise you on the best heating element for your needs.

Can I buy a new branding iron plate for an existing heating element?

Yes, this is possible. Branding plates can be easily attached and removed using a screwdriver.

What should you keep in mind?

To ensure the best performance, it’s important that your heating element is suitable for the new plate:

  • The heating element must have sufficient wattage
  • A heating element designed for a small plate may not be powerful enough for a larger one
  • The size of the new plate should not differ significantly from your current plate

Not sure which size you need?

Feel free to contact us, we’ll gladly advise you on the right combination for your setup.
