- Stamping/Embossing/Deckle edging

The process

  • Hot stamping consists in transfering a metallic or colored pigmentated film on paper using heat which acts on a thermofusible adhesive.
  • The technique consists of heat pressing the film between the sheet of paper and the die representing your design.
  • The die used for hot stamping is made up chemically, in relief, starting from a negative film, emulsion up.
  • The films can be metallic (gold, silver, copper...), pigmentated matt or shiny, holographic, pearly, transparent or in color (including white).


A few relevant details

  • Metallic hot stamping (gold, silver, copper...) is completely opaque: it is therefore unnecessary to “drop-out” your graphics in order to avoid register problems.
  • Some tests could prove necessary on certain papers, on lamination or in certain cases of fine printing.
  • Hot stamping color charts are extended without however covering the whole Pantone range.
  • Color charts are available upon request.
  • The maximum size of the press sheet is 25” x 35”.
