Industry Snapshot
Key metrics for the metal crown, closure, and other metal stamping (except automotive) industry.
Industry Definition & Overview
Metal Crown, Closure, and Other Metal Stamping (except Automotive) (NAICS 332119) encompasses establishments primarily engaged in stamping metal crowns and closures and manufacturing other unfinished metal stampings and spinning unfinished metal products per the U.S. Census Bureau[5]. Activities include bottle cap and crown stamping, home canning lid and ring production, deep draw metal stamping, progressive die stamping of electronic and appliance components, metal spinning for lighting fixtures and decorative items, and fourslide and multislide wire forming operations. This classification excludes automotive stampings (NAICS 336370). Metal stamping operations use mechanical and hydraulic presses ranging from small bench presses to large transfer press lines producing millions of parts annually for electronics, appliance, hardware, packaging, and industrial equipment markets. Progressive die stamping feeds coil stock through multi-station dies that punch, bend, and form parts in sequential operations at speeds exceeding 1,000 strokes per minute for high-volume connector, bracket, and clip production. Deep drawing stretches flat sheet into cylindrical, rectangular, or irregular hollow shapes for cookware, pressure vessel heads, and electronics enclosures. Per Census Bureau[6] data, over 900 establishments employ roughly 51,000 workers across bottle cap, closure, deep draw, progressive die, and metal spinning operations serving diverse manufacturing supply chains. Based on the SBA Table of Size Standards[7], the size standard is 500 employees. OSHA[8] enforces press safety standards including point-of-operation guarding, light curtains, and two-hand controls for stamping press operations. The EPA[9] regulates air emissions from stamping lubricant mist and wastewater from parts washing at metal stamping facilities.

Related NAICS Codes
| Code | Description | Relationship |
|---|---|---|
| 336370 | Motor Vehicle Metal Stamping | Motor Vehicle Metal Stamping produces automotive body panels, structural members, and brackets classified separately from general metal stamping due to the specialized press equipment and die technology required for vehicle component production |
| 332114 | Custom Roll Forming | Custom Roll Forming shapes metal coil through progressive rollers for continuous profiles that complement stamped components when assemblies require both linear frame members and discrete formed brackets or clips |
| 332431 | Metal Can Manufacturing | Metal Can Manufacturing stamps and forms metal sheet into beverage and food containers using similar press technology and coil-fed production methods as crown and closure stamping operations in this classification |
| 332117 | Powder Metallurgy Part Manufacturing | Powder Metallurgy Part Manufacturing produces pressed and sintered components that compete with stamped parts for certain bracket, gear, and structural applications where three-dimensional geometry favors compaction over sheet forming |
| 332322 | Sheet Metal Work Manufacturing | Sheet Metal Work Manufacturing fabricates custom sheet metal components through brake forming and welding for lower-volume production that complements high-volume stamping when quantities do not justify progressive die tooling investment |
| 331221 | Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing | Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing produces the flat-rolled coil and strip that stamping operations purchase as primary input material for feeding into progressive, transfer, and deep draw press operations |

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this industry.
What is the NAICS code for metal stamping?
NAICS 332119 covers metal crown, closure, and other metal stamping operations except automotive, including bottle caps, deep draw parts, and progressive die components per the U.S. Census Bureau[5].
What is the SBA size standard?
Per the SBA size standard[7], the threshold is 500 employees for federal small business contracting eligibility and SBA lending products for metal stamping manufacturing operations.
How large is the metal stamping industry?
Per Census Bureau[6] data, over 900 establishments employ roughly 51,000 workers across bottle cap, closure, deep draw, progressive die, and metal spinning operations serving diverse manufacturing supply chains.
What is progressive die stamping?
Progressive die stamping feeds coil stock through multi-station dies that punch, bend, and form parts in sequential operations per Bureau of Labor Statistics[10] process data, producing high volumes of connectors, brackets, and clips.
What is deep drawing?
Deep drawing stretches flat sheet into hollow cylindrical, rectangular, or irregular shapes per Census Bureau[6] process classification, producing items such as cookware bodies, pressure vessel heads, and electronics enclosures from single metal blanks.
Why is automotive stamping separate?
Automotive metal stamping is classified under NAICS 336370[14] rather than this code due to the specialized large-scale press equipment and dedicated tooling required for vehicle body panel and structural component production.
What safety standards apply?
OSHA[8] enforces press safety standards requiring point-of-operation guarding through light curtains, barrier guards, or two-hand controls, along with die setting procedures and lockout-tagout requirements for stamping press operations.
What environmental regulations apply?
The EPA[9] regulates stamping lubricant mist air emissions, wastewater from parts washing and degreasing operations, and used lubricant disposal at metal stamping facilities under Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act standards.
