Hot stamping uses controlled heat, pressure, and precision timing to apply colored or metallic foil resins to decorate surfaces of varied shapes and materials. A heated silicone rubber or metal die containing a raised graphic image is used to press the foil resins onto the surface. Foil advancement between stampings is precisely controlled for consistent stamping quality and minimal waste.
Utilizing advanced control systems, modern hot stamping machines can decorate a wide variety of part shapes. Flat, round, convex, concave, spherical, oval, square, triangular, and even multi-faceted parts can be accommodated by specialized equipment.Highly wear- and chemical-resistant, hot stamping foils are available in numerous colors and resins to maximize image quality and durability. Custom-designed foils can be supplied to match substrate characteristics, further enhancing the versatility of this process.
