Hot stamping can be an efficient plastic part decoration method that achieves high-end results.
Like pad printing, when important graphics or critical product information is accommodated
during the design phase, quicker production and lower costs are realized.
Hot stamping is used to decorate raised areas, also known as tipping, where a heated die applies
pressure to a hot stamping foil that is pressed against the plastic part. Foils are available in
a multitude of colors and finishes ranging from matte to high gloss and specialty foils
including holographic and metallic. The heat and pressure from the die transfers the pigment
from the hot stamping foil onto the plastic part. Hot stamping can be used on flat and rounded
surfaces, and can encompass an entire circumference or, the front and back of a surface, in one
operation.
Because hot stamping is a dry process, it enables us to provide an attractive, high-end
appearance on plastic parts using reflective metallic foils and high gloss opaque-colored foils
– something not achievable with pad printing or screen printing inks. The unique “dry” hot
stamping process is also beneficial in reducing packaging and handling costs because the
decorated parts can easily be bulk packed on-line with less concerns of damage to the decorated
image.
