Need help deciding when to order a Copper die vs. a Brass die?
Keep in mind, Copper dies are generally manufactured and shipped the same day. Brass dies typically require 2 - 3 days for manufacturing. In addition, Copper dies are priced based on square inches, and Brass dies are priced based on degree of detail and die styles required.
Copper Dies
- Most generally, all Foil Stamping dies are made from Copper.
- Single level Emboss or Deboss dies with no Raised Round areas are made from Copper.
- Double-Etch or Micro-Etch Foil Stamping dies are made from Copper.

Brass Dies
- If your die requires any Raised Round effect.
- Any die requiring multiple levels.
- A die that Foil Stamps and Embosses in one pass, referred to as a Combo Die, must be in Brass.
- If your emboss die specifies a bevel other than about 35 degrees, then Brass allows you to determine any specific bevel.
