About DuraChrome Wire Marking Type
DuraChrome (curved face type) is designed for marking a wide range of insulated wire and other curved surfaces. DuraChrome is made to fit Kingsley and Ackerman-Gould® marking machines. Durable Technologies also supplies this version of curved type to mark a wide selection of medical vials, tubes, pen barrels, pencil handles and brushes.
DuraChrome is available in a range of sizes optimized for marking outside diameters between 0.035” and 0.350”. If this size range falls within your stamping requirement, you'll want the “V” series for vertical reading type and “H” series for horizontal reading type.
Our special chrome coating provides a harder-than-steel marking surface at a lower price. Many sizes of DuraChrome type is AVAILABLE FOR SAME DAY SHIPMENT!

About DurAlloy Brass Type for Heat Shrink Sleeving
Our DurAlloy brass type has a flat face character and is often used for stamping onto flat surfaces such as heat shrink sleeving, nylon cable ties, and other thermoplastics. We provide a full line of character sizes in either a single- or multi-line solution when you need the best legibility in a tough environment.
Special symbols are more often required than not, and we have you covered. DuraChrome and DurAlloy type include common symbols (punctuation) as well as more difficult to find versions. We can also create custom characters and logodies to meet your specific requirements.
