Hot Foil
Hot foil technology
Hot foil printing (sometimes called ‘hot stamp printing’) is an established technology for coding, marking and overprinting on a wide range of packaging materials. It is based on a heated metal die (engraved printing die) pressing a pigmented hot foil tape against the packaging material.
Reliable, versatile, economical, low maintenance, and an ideal technology for online printing of lot numbers, use by and expiry dates – these are just some of its attractions. Others include:
• high print quality with unparalleled abrasion resistance for a permanent print
• high-speed printing to match the fastest production line speeds
• clean and instantly dry printing in all operational environments
• ability to apply a shiny metallic foil print onto a variety of substrates
• low initial and long-term costs
