What is hot stamping technology?

Hot stamping technology is a printing process that uses certain pressure and temperature to hot stamp metal foil or pigment foil onto printed matter or other substrates, thereby decorating and beautifying the printed matter. ‌This process, commonly known as "hot stamping",can not only provide surface finishing effects for products,but also increase the added value of the product,especially when hot stamping is combined with embossing technology,can significantly improve the quality of the product Quality grade‌. ‌ 

The implementation of hot stamping technology involves many key factors:

- selection of hot stamping foil.
- hot stamping temperature,‌pressure,‌speed control.
- the equipment,substrate,operating technology during the hot stamping process, etc. 
- hot stamping foil should use paper, ‌ink, ‌kerosene, ‌composite glue, etc. 
- hot stamping parts must be kept dry to avoid oxidation or damage to the hot stamping layer. ‌
- three-way coordination of temperature, ‌pressure, and ‌speed must be mastered when hot stamping.

The hot stamping process has a long history. Its basic principle is to mount the mold on the impression plate and heat it, and then place the metal foil between the mold and the material to be hot stamped. ‌When the mold is pressed down on the substrate, ‌the heat released causes the metal foil to cover the substrate, ‌forming a hot stamping effect‌. ‌This technology is widely used in many fields such as book binding, ‌packaging and printing, ‌textiles, etc.‌Through different hot stamping equipment and methods, ‌such as round-pressed round fabric hot stamping and flat-pressed fabric hot stamping, etc., ‌realizes various materials Decoration and beautification‌.
