Hot stamping is a process of applying electroplated aluminum foil to the surface of a substrate under specific temperature and pressure. Electroplated aluminum foil hot stamping produces images and text with a strong metallic luster, vibrant colors, and is fade-resistant. Gold and silver electroplated aluminum foil, in particular, embellish the surface of printed materials with a magnificent and elegant finish, enhancing the artistic appeal and effectively highlighting the theme. Its gloss level far surpasses that of gold and silver foil printing, giving products a high-end feel and providing aesthetic enjoyment. Furthermore, due to the excellent physical and chemical properties of electroplated aluminum foil, it protects the printed material, making hot stamping widely used on high-end, exquisite packaging labels, calendars, and book covers. Secondly, the application range of electroplated aluminum foil hot stamping is very broad, from general book covers, trademarks, advertising, and plastic products to daily necessities, and from paper to leather and cotton fabrics. Thirdly, hot stamping is a dry processing method, allowing for immediate packaging and transportation after hot stamping. Therefore, hot stamping technology is widely adopted, and its application scope continues to expand.
Hot Stamping Process
Since the quality, specifications, and model of the electroplated aluminum foil all affect the hot stamping quality, the scientific and reasonable selection of electroplated aluminum foil is a prerequisite for improving the quality of the hot stamping process.
Process Flow
Hot stamping preparation → Plate mounting → Plate backing → Determination of hot stamping process parameters → Trial stamping → Sample approval → Formal hot stamping.
