What Is Hot Stamping and The Types of Hot Stamping Foil

Hot foil stamping is the process of applying foil using a heated die. The metal die strikes heat sensitivefoil, pressing it into the substrate, thereby leaving foil only in the area of die contact and binding it to the substrate. Hot stamping produces crisp, durable impressions and provides the highest quality finished product with a subtle hint of dimensionality due to the pressure and heat involved. Because hot foil and foil laminates are vacuum metallized, they offer a level of shine and brilliance that other products can not. Hot foils offer a high degree of environmental sustainability while also delivering unrivaled reflectivity. The distinctive, recognizable quality of hot foils is frequently leveraged in certain categories to communicate authenticity, tradition, and trustworthiness.Available in brilliant silvers, golds, and colors as well as in stock and custom diffraction patterns.

METALLIC foils are the most popular choice of foils due to superior opacity and reflectivity. For hot foils, metallics come in a wide variety of colors and finishes.

PIGMENT foils provide deep, solid colors and can be flat or gloss in finish. Flat pigment foils provide a similar effect to that of a thick layer of opaque ink, while gloss pigment foils have more sheen, somewhat like enamel paint.
