Foil Stamping is a finishing tool for printers and customers to up their game in the industry. What is foil stamping in the print world?
According to PakFactory.com, “Foil stamping is a specialty printing process that uses metal dies, heat and pressure, to apply foil films.”
Various applications include letterheads, tickets, invitations, business cards, packaging, labels, and so much more.
How does stamping work?
“Today, it is leveraged to create visual interest and increase the perceived value of products.
A foil is a thin film coated with the colors that are applied to a product through a process known as hot stamping.
The pigment is placed on a clear film, which acts as a carrier that transfers the color onto the product.
Another layer of the foil consists of pigmented sediments, and a third layer is a heat-activated adhesive that sticks the sediments onto the product.”
