Hot-foil Stamping

Hot foil stamping (or hot foil press) with a metal plate is a process that uses heat and pressure to transfer a metallic foil design onto a material, like paper or plastic, using a heated metal plate engraved with the desired design.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

The Process:

A metal plate, often referred to as a die, is heated and engraved with the design.
A sheet of special foil, with a heat-activated adhesive, is placed on top of the material you want to stamp.
The heated die is pressed onto the foil and material, causing the foil to transfer and adhere to the surface.
The pressure of the die also creates a raised, embossed effect.

Materials:

Metal Plates (Dies): These are the plates that are heated and engraved with the design.
Hot Foil: This is a special foil with a heat-activated adhesive that transfers to the material.
Materials to be Stamped: This can include paper, cardstock, plastic, leather, and other materials.

Benefits:

Luxurious Appearance: Hot foil stamping creates a shiny, metallic, and often embossed design.
Versatility: It can be used on a variety of materials and can be combined with other printing techniques.
Durability: The foil is durable and resistant to wear and tear.
