Metal Stamping is generally more affordable and cost effective in comparison to other processes followed to give desired shapes to the metal and alloy sheets. Metal Stamping Machinery is also commonly less expensive than those used in other metal forming procedures.

Metal Stamping involves the bending, clipping and shaping of metallic and alloy sheets into definite forms. These procedures of bending, clipping and molding are carried out in the Metal Stamping processes to give definite form to the large metal and alloy sheets. Major products of Metal Stamping consist of finer components of larger machinery, equipment and bigger metal structures, and these smaller items may also be used as spare parts of the same machines.

After metals or alloy sheets are stamped or pressed into definite fixed shapes, the shaped metal may be plated with nickel, tin, or other metallic elements to provide protection from corrosion. Basically alloys of iron (steel), zinc, nickel, and aluminum are used in the Metal Stamping Industry, as these alloys are strong, durable, do not break easily, portable, non-poisonous, and affordable at the same time.

More advanced Metal Stamping, such as that done at Bahrs Die & Stamping Company, is a cost effective means to manufacture certain small components, which cannot be manufactured through many other procedures.
