U.S. Patent No. 12,263,697 — The World's First Ice-Branding Machine

Brand the ice.
Not the drink.

First of its kind. First ever. The Marca heated brass plate brands any 2-inch square ice cube with your logo, initials, or pattern — built for wholesale accounts (bars, hotels, restaurants, event planners, marketing & brand agencies) and refined enough for the at-home cocktail enthusiast.

// Anatomy of one press

What makes the machine, in five moves.

Every step below is lifted straight from the manufacturing documentation — real subassembly geometry, not renders — tracing one cube from drop to drain.

The complete machine, exploded

A single exploded view reveals every key element of the Marca press — the frame, the heated brass stamp, the cube carrier, the sensor stack and the drainage path — engineered as one serviceable architecture.

Drop. Detect. Ready.

Sink & sensor

Drop. Detect. Ready.

The 2-inch cube drops straight down the sink. An integrated sensor reads it in position and signals the cube carrier — the “chair” — that the cube is seated and good to go.

The chair travels.

Cube carrier · Stamp drawer

The chair travels.

The cube carrier — the “chair” — travels forward, pushing the cube onto the interchangeable stamp. The stamp is already pre-heated, and slides in and out of the stamp drawer for easy lateral plate swaps.

Branded in three seconds.

Back pedal · Ejection

Branded in three seconds.

Heat and pressure brand the cube in just three seconds. A tap of the back pedal releases the press and ejects the finished cube — clean, crisp, repeatable.

Glide out. Drain clean.

05
Dripping mesh · Collecting drawer

Glide out. Drain clean.

The branded cube glides down and out over the dripping mesh, while any residual meltwater is caught below in the collecting drawer — keeping the station dry and ready for the next press.

// Add-on stamps

Collectible brass plates.

Each plate is a 2-inch square of etched brass, drawn straight from the engineering set. Add them to your machine order and swap them into the stamp drawer at will — one motif per moment.
