Hitt Marking Devices

Our punches are made to order and are the best quality available. Castings are aircraft-quality alloy, dies are hardened steel, and punches are highly-polished and nickel-plated for long life and attractive appearance. Our products are in continuous use in transportation, quality control, sales promotion, identification card design, agricultural picking, and various industrial applications. Punches are available in six lengths.

Our punches come equipped with dies to punch out 3/16" letters, numerals, assorted dies shapes, and logo shapes. Custom dies can be made which may incur additional set-up charges. Please click on our standard offerings or call us for information on shapes to suit your specific requirements.

We have made these punches individually by hand since 1906. The traditional nickel-plated iron construction has been augmented with aircraft quality alloy castings on our principal products, making them entirely rust-proof and more durable than before.

Punch accessories, including leather holsters, removable reservoir caps, finger rings, and security chains are also available. Click on the punches below for description and specifications:
