Hot Stamping Process

Hot Stamping is done through the Hot Stamping machine.

In this process, a die is heated. It is then stamped with high pressure to bind a layer of foil to the substrate. The hot stamping foil is permanently printed on the surface of the material. 

The BOPET hot stamping film is used as a base in this process. This film adds three layers to the substrate:

• Pigmented or metallic coating, 
• Adherence layer, and
• Release layer.

The pigmented layer proved color. The adherence layer adheres the foil to the substrate, while the release layer helps release different layers from BOPET to the substrate surface.
