US Army National Guard Insignia Medallion Leather Emboss Plate 2 1/4" dia.

Description

The pattern on this emboss plate is the United States Army National Guard Insignia Medallion and is a good size to work on a wide variety of projects - holsters, coasters, wallets, bags, ID tags, plaques, book covers, key fobs, or about anything you want to add this honored patriotic symbol to.  This pattern would work great as a stand
alone or it could be incorporated into tooled or stamped patterns plus would add the right touch to a lettered project (signs, desk plaques, etc.).
This plate measures 2 1/4" diameter and is made of a high impact fiberglass reinforced polyurethane.  We originally started making these plates to use on short runs where we only needed a few hundred impressions BUT we soon discovered that they were outlasting any of the plates made of printers metal and have much greater detail than most cast metal plates.
For more information about the high impact poly embossing plates and their full warranty you can visit the  bunkhousetools web site.
The samples were made using a 12 ton hydraulic shop press which should be sufficient for plates of this size or even slightly larger.
This is not a hammer stamp and should be pressed in using a hydraulic press, clicker press, or a shop press like we do but the pressure plate should cover the entire top of the plate or if you are using a ram press a heavy piece of flat steel sufficient to cover the entire top of the emboss plate will be necessary.
