How Foil Stamping Changed the Way We See Products

Foil stamping is a specialised printing technique that applies foil films using metal dies, pressure, and heat. A foil is a thin coating that is coloured and put into a product using the hot stamping technique. Modern foil stamping, also known as hot stamping foil, was first developed in the late 19th century.

Today, holographic hot stamping foil is used to enhance a product's worth and enhance visual attraction. The pigment is applied to a transparent film, which carries the colour to be transferred to the product. The coloured sediments are in a separate layer of the foil, with a third layer of heat-activated adhesive that adheres the sediments to the product. Hot stamping foil hologram can be used on paper stock, just like embossing and spot UV. In contrast to textured or lined materials, a stock with a smooth, level surface performs well.

Types of holographic hot foil stamping

You can use one of the four hot stamping processes listed below depending on your substrate and desired finish:

  • Flat foil stamping with a copper or magnesium metal stamp is used in the straightforward, affordable process of transferring the foil to the substrate. It accomplishes a somewhat raised foil design from the surface.
  • Vertical foil stamping is a technique for stamping foil patterns onto flat surfaces and cylinder-shaped objects.
  • Sculpted foil stamping creates a raised image with brass dies for a sharply defined and sculpted appearance.
  • Peripheral foil stamping is the process of applying foil heat transfers to the product's outer perimeter along its whole circle.

Usually, gold and silver colouring is applied to produce an opulent look. There are several different finishes, including glossy, matte, metallic, holographic sparkles, and wood grains.

The Benefits of foil stamping

Since holographic hot foil stamping doesn’t need ink, the colour of the substrate on which the pattern is put has no bearing on the colour of the foil. On papers with darker colours, foils in light and metallic colours can be applied with ease.

With holographic hot stamping foil, you may experiment with your branding and packaging by achieving a variety of finishes. This technique also offers an excellent way to stand out from the sea of rival goods due to the startling effect it can produce
