Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is a branding head, and is it different from a branding die?

A. A branding head is a detachable plate made of brass or stainless steel. It connects to either a handle or a heating tool and functions as a heated stamp. It is often referred to as a branding die, and the two terms are interchangeable.
Q. I already have an electric branding iron. Can you make a head to fit it?

A. Absolutely. If you have a Hexacon Heating Tool, we would need to know its wattage and if it takes a smooth or a threaded shank. If you have a heating tool made by another manufacturer, all we would need to know is the required shank dimensions and the wattage.
Q. I see a design in your sample photos that I would like to use. Can I use that design for my own branding head?

A. BIU respects its customers and, therefore, cannot use a logo or design provided by our customers. However, Universal symbols and designs from our Clip Art Gallery are the exception. All other artwork needs to be original.
Q. What is your return policy?

A. All custom-made products are non-refundable. Stock items can be returned within 14 business days if they were not used and are in perfect condition. See our Warranty/Policy page for more information.
