Hot Stamping
Hot stamping is the technique of applying a variety of metallic and or holographic accents to a container or closure through the use of heat, pressure and dies. The die is embossed with the image to be transferred to the surface of the container. The embossed die is then heated, pressing the foil onto container. The effect can be either debossed (creating an image that is pressed into the surface) or, occasionally, embossed (creating a raised image). This method can also be used to roll a 360-degree foil stripe around a container or closure, or to apply graphics and logos with a straight foil stamp.
