Hot Stamping
Hot Stamping is a printing method that creates an indented design on the product surface using a heated custom metal plate. This plate is pressed firmly onto the product surface, leaving a permanent impression of the artwork. It's often used on materials like wood.
Advantages
- Higher perceived value than other forms of branding.
- The branding becomes part of the product and is p
ermanent.
- The product can be shipped as soon as heat pressing is finished.
- Certain products can produce a two-tone, contrasting finish.
Limitations
- Unable to print variable data such as individual naming.
- Large block artwork can produce an inconsistent print result.
- Minimum line thickness: 0.4mm.
Artwork Requirements
- The artwork must be supplied in vector format.
- Fonts are advised to be converted to outlines/objects to avoid font conflicts.
