Cold Stamping Foil

Cold stamping foil is based on a new printing technology that allows colour printing on top of the stamped foil. A metallic shine is added to the printed part for a more high-quality print with a touch of luxury.
So far, a standard transfer process revolved mainly around hot stamping, a technology which uses a pre-built mould for the transfer. Cold stamping, however, does not require such a mould, but merely a standard off-set printing plate (halftone printing), so that gradations, fine lines and characters, which were difficult to handle with hot stamping, can be expressed.

With cold foil printing, a coloured off-set print is printed on top of the stamped part so that a photo-like effect can be achieved. Brilliant bright colours can be expressed in a way that is not possible with simple gold and silver foil.

Characteristics of cold stamping foil

Colour gradations as well as fine lines and characters which are difficult to process with hot stamping can be illustrated.
A photo-like design effect can be achieved.
Brilliant bright colours can be expressed in a manner not feasible with simple gold and silver foil.
