Hot Stamping Designs on Containers & Closures

ABOUT hot Stamping (Heat Transfer Printing)

The hot stamping printing method begins with a design (logo, text, and/or imagery) that is engraved onto a metal or silicone rubber surface referred to as the “hot stamping die” in the printing industry. Next, a foil color is selected, the most popular being metallics. Although there are many foil colors to pick from, the hot stamping method generally works best with only one color in the design. 

On the hot foil stamping machine, the hot stamping die is forced against the container or closure with the foil sandwiched between them. The combination of heat and force binds the design to the container or closure. The use of “dry-ink”, makes this a more environmentally friendly process.
