Principle
Hot stamping (gold/silver) is an advanced surface finishing process that uses the heat and pressure transfer principle to transfer metallic foil onto the surface of paper, cardboard, or other substrates. Under controlled temperature, pressure, and dwell time, the metallic layer is firmly transferred from the foil film to the printed surface, forming a bright, mirror-like metallic effect.
The metal stamping plate is usually manufactured through precision engraving or etching processes to ensure sharp, detailed patterns and text. During production, strict control over temperature, pressure, and speed is essential to achieve stable, high-quality stamping results.
