Hot Stamping Foil
Hot stamping foil is a printing process of using heat and pressure to apply metallic foil to materials such as light papers, carton board, laminated board, plastics and corrugated board. Hot Stamp foils are extremely durable but have some drawbacks. Because of the heat required in the printing process, hot stamp ribbons are usually thicker, and there for shorter than traditional thermal transfer ribbons which drives up the cost. In addition, hot stamp printers leave large gaps between print images, which results in wasting a large portion of the ribbon.
