Hot Stamping or "foil stamping" is a method of relief printing in which colored foils are transferred to the surface of a product at high temperatures. A unique engraved magnesium plate is created for every order. The plate is then mounted and heated, with the product to be stamped placed beneath it. The chosen foil color is inserted between the two, and the die presses down through it. The foil is then impressed and bonded into the surface of the product. The process itself is non-polluting because the materials involved are dry. Hot Stamping gives a clean and professional finish to products that makes a brand stand out, especially when shiny metallic foils are used.
