There are many post-press processing methods that are used to give packaging, printed products and other materials a more impressive and attractive look. A popular solution has become foil stamping, which allows you to add an exquisite shine to the surface of the product, creating bright and contrasting elements. In this way, you can apply any inscription or drawing, or logo, brand name, decorative elements. The leading Ukrainian company ATTOLIS offers clients favorable terms of cooperation and a wide range of services.
Foil stamping process
The standard procedure involved applying a thin layer of material using heat and pressure. This process consisted of several stages:
- Preparing the matrix – a metal stamp is created that will be used for the transfer.
- Choice of foil – it can be metallic or colored, and there are also holographic and transparent options to create unique effects.
- Application – a heated cliche (stamp), which has reached a certain temperature, is pressed against the treated area. Under the influence of temperature and pressure, the decorative layer is transferred to the surface and firmly fixed.
- Quality control – After embossing is completed, the quality of the printed image is checked to ensure there are no defects.
But modern technologies and highly productive digital machines have made it possible to completely change the process. Thanks to this, foiling has become available for various categories of printing products – and you can create almost any effect. Knowing what hot stamping is, you can fully appreciate the advantages of the digital method, which allows you to save on the production of cliches and significantly speed up the process.
