Metal Stamping Capabilities We Support
We help you align stamping method, secondaries, inspection scope, and packaging before the quote becomes a landmine. For detailed process info, see our Metal Stamping Services page.
Progressive Die
Efficient multi-station stamping when geometry can be staged through operations — pierce, form, coin, cut-off, and more.
Best for: repeatability, mid–high volume, stable geometry.
Transfer / Robot Transfer
Ideal for larger parts or deeper forms where progressive constraints aren’t practical.
Best for: complex forms, larger blanks, controlled handling.
Compound / Punch Press
Single-hit operations for certain profiles — fast, reliable, and cost-effective when the part fits.
Best for: simpler profiles, speed, targeted ops.
Forming + Secondary Ops
Bending, hemming, clinching, PEM insertion, tapping, spot welding, and light assembly.
Best for: ready-to-install stamped components.
Finishing
Deburr, plate, coat, passivate — with masking and dimensional effects planned before tooling starts.
Best for: corrosion resistance, cosmetics, assembly fit-up.
Packaging + Kitting
Labeling, kitting, and packaging that survives logistics — so parts arrive line-ready.
Best for: reducing receiving and assembly friction.
How to Source Metal Stampings Without Getting Burned
“Metal stampings” sounds like a commodity until the real variables show up: tooling approach, springback, burr direction, finish requirements, packaging, inspection scope, and what “lead time” means after award. The fastest way to overpay is to treat a stamping like a generic part. The fastest way to miss a launch date is to assume the quote included secondaries and documentation your program actually needs.
What makes stamping programs expensive
Holes too close to bends. Bend radii that ignore temper. Burr direction missed on mating surfaces. Coating planned after tooling (hello, tight holes and bad stack-ups). “Critical” callouts everywhere — forcing slow cycle time and higher scrap.
Fix: lock the CTQs, let non-critical features float, and plan finish + inspection up front.
What we need for a clean quote
Print/3D model (or sketch), material + thickness/gauge, qty/annual volume, critical features/tolerances, finish/coating, assembly needs, and target date.

Finishing + packaging (the silent killers)
Zinc, nickel, e-coat, powder, passivation, and conversion coatings all have dimensional effects and masking needs. Packaging can introduce cosmetic damage or distortion if it’s wrong. We plan finish and packaging before the quote is finalized.
Quality + paperwork purchasing needs
A good supplier makes parts. A good program requires alignment: FAI/PPAP expectations, material certs, coating certs, inspection methods, and a clear escalation path. SanCo bakes this into the RFQ so you aren’t renegotiating documentation after award.

How SanCo Frames a Clean Stamping RFQ
Before a stamping quote turns into revisions, surprises, or production headaches, we try to get the important variables aligned early. That means quoting with the real tooling path, likely secondaries, inspection expectations, and realistic production assumptions already in the conversation.
What we focus on up front
What helps us move faster
The best RFQs include a print or model, material and thickness, target quantities, annual demand, critical tolerances, finish requirements, and any assembly or documentation expectations. If you do not have all of that yet, send what you have — we can still help frame the job correctly.
Send Your Specs — We’ll Route It Fast
If you need metal stampings and you want a clean, purchasing-friendly path forward, send what you have. We’ll respond with a practical recommendation: best tooling approach, likely secondaries, inspection scope, and realistic lead time.
Include: material + thickness/gauge, qty/annual volume, critical features/tolerances, finish/coating, assembly needs (PEMs/weld), target date, and any prints/specs.

Quick answers to the questions purchasing teams ask most.
What types of stampings do you support?
Progressive, transfer/robot transfer, compound/punch press, and formed components — plus secondaries like PEMs, tapping, spot welding, plating/coating, and packaging/kitting.
What information do you need to quote a stamping?
Best: print/3D model, material + thickness/gauge, qty/annual volume, critical features/tolerances, finish/coating requirements, secondary ops/assembly needs, inspection docs (FAI/PPAP if required), and target lead time. If you don’t have all of it, send what you have and we’ll help fill in the gaps.
Can you support PPAP / FAI requirements?
Yes. We align PPAP/FAI expectations, certs, coatings, and inspection scope up front — so documentation is not a surprise after award.
How do I know whether I need progressive, transfer, or compound tooling?
It depends on geometry, thickness, critical features, and volume. Progressive is efficient when the part can be staged through stations. Transfer is often better for larger blanks, deeper forming, or controlled handling. Compound can be great for certain profiles when speed and simplicity win. We’ll recommend the best-fit approach once we see the print and priorities.
Do you coordinate finishing and packaging?
Yes. Deburr, plating, powder coat, passivation, conversion coatings, masking plans, and packaging/kitting can all be coordinated so parts arrive assembly-ready and cosmetic requirements are protected.
