Hot stamping printing process
Hot Stamping is a printing process that uses heated dies that are stamped onto a
sheet of colored or metallic foil resins which causes the foil to be printed onto
paper, vinyl, textiles, wood, hard plastic, leather, or whatever media is being
printed. Heated dies, which can be made out of silicone rubber or metal, contain
raised graphic images, which press the foil resins onto the print media surface. The foil for hot stamping is available every possible color and pattern from standard
gold and silver to marbleized colors in addition, leaf is also available in matte,
pearlescent, holographic, opalescent, and glossy finishes. Semi-transparent layers
permit underlying colors and designs to show through, creating unique vibrant images
with depth. Hot stamping can be applied to more medias than ink. Items such as leather photograph albums, cloth bookmarks, can be imprinted with
hot stamping. Other uses include wedding invitations, business cards, folders,
signs, and magnets.
