Logo Depth in Millimetres: Chocolate, Soap, and Stamp Islands That Survive Pull 5
"Crisp logo" with no depth in millimetres is not a spec we can cut. If you're branding chocolate, soap, gummy, or a stamp, this service locks stroke, relief, and depth on the 2D so the platinum RTV can fill and peel - including on pull 5, not only on the hero photo. About 0.3 mm minimum feature is a common conversation; 0.4 mm recessed brand is a common food-mold start. Hairline serifs become trenches the dump won't enter, or islands that tear a 10A-20A lip.
Custom/simple 3D is USD $50 when that scope applies. Prototype 3-7 days after CAD lock. MOQ 20 per design. Pair with logo branding and custom logo molds. Catalog: process catalog. Pad-print on parts → an HTV product RFQ here.
What we freeze
- Raised vs recessed in the dump.
- Depth in mm, min stroke, draft at the root.
- Off the parting land.
- Dump family: chocolate vs soap vs pectin vs resin disagree on the same art.
- KEEP/FLATTEN if the letter undercuts.
Common mix-up: sharper PNG = better mold
Bitmaps get traced into trenches. Outlined vectors only. Legal marks (®, ™) need width to fill. If the art cannot survive a 0.3 mm conversation, it's print, not mold.
Typical shop values
Reference values only. Confirm material-specific limits against the supplier’s technical data and agree project acceptance criteria before production.
| Item | Typical shop value |
|---|---|
| Min feature conversation | About 0.3 mm |
| Common recessed food brand | About 0.4 mm |
| Thin-bar wash risk | About 0.25 mm on a thin chocolate can wash after temper |
| Cavity Shore | 10A-20A |
| Prototype / MOQ | 3-7 days after lock; 20 pcs/design |
| Custom/simple 3D | USD $50 when that scope applies |
Failure: islands gone on pull 5
Symptom: Washed chocolate letters; torn stamp islands; seam through the wordmark.
Confirm: Depth on the 2D? Real dump on the prototype? Off parting?
Fix: Thicken, add draft, move split, recast against unsanded master. Don't sand the pattern.
Worked example: soap stamp vs chocolate bar
Soap: deeper deboss can lock on unmold day - depth vs alkalinity. Chocolate: 0.4 mm recessed on a 12 mm bar, off split, temper dump 3-7 days after lock, MOQ 20. Same art file would have been two depths. We split the quotes.
What to ask when you're locking depth
- mm on the 2D, not "deep enough"?
- Raised or recessed in the dump?
- Will pull 5 still have islands?
- Print instead if the serif cannot peel?
- Unsanded master archived?
When this lock is the wrong spend
Carton print only. Parts logo on LSR: an HTV product or mold RFQ here, or ask us if you need a high-volume LSR cold-runner tool. Catalog tray that already has a pocket. Geometry can override: a negative-draft letter still needs split even at 20 pcs.
RFQ: depth pack

We would not recommend "crisp logo" as a PO line
We would not recommend a PNG. We would not recommend parking art on the shut. We would not recommend one depth for soap and chocolate.
RUUIPON Mold Structure Decision:
- Depth mm on 2D -> Undercut or on parting?
- Undercut or on parting? - yes -> Move split / flatten
- Undercut or on parting? - no -> Prototype real dump
- Move split / flatten -> Prototype real dump
- Prototype real dump -> Islands survive pull 5?
- Islands survive pull 5? - no -> Thicken / draft
- Islands survive pull 5? - yes -> MOQ 20
FAQ
Can every font mold? No. Hairlines are print.
0.4 mm always? A common food start, not a law.
Is this color branding? No. Geometry vs tray tint.
Who keeps the master? Write it. Recast needs unsanded letters.
MOQ? 20 per design.
