What advantages does brass bring?

Brass is a superior metal alloy for quality, durable foiling dies. It is much harder than magnesium which makes it better for crisp, medium to fine detail in medium to long print runs. It is also more flexible to work with than copper metal and much lighter and cheaper too. Very sharp, deep shoulders are possible allowing for greater definition – ideal for leather work! Price wise, a brass die will be much greater value for money than the cheaper magnesium material, which is more suited for short run jobs. Profoil buys its brass material in large stock quantities which allows us to be very competitive in the UK, across Europe and Asia – get an online, instant quote today!

Brass has good heat transfer and retention properties and is also an environmentally friendly material to use. Long storage is achievable as its less prone to corrosion and degrading, so repetitive work from your customers will save you greater costs in the long-run.
