Cold/Hot Foil Stamping

What is Hot Foil Stamping?

Hot foil stamping with labels is a printing technique that uses heat, pressure, and metallic or pigmented foil to create decorative and high-quality label designs. It’s often used in premium packaging, branding, and specialty labels to add a shiny or textured effect to logos, text, or patterns.  It’s commonly used in wine bottles, spirits, cosmetics, and luxury branding

How it Works:

1. Preparation – A custom metal die is created with the design to be stamped.
2. Foil Selection – A thin sheet of foil (metallic, matte, glossy, or holographic) is placed between the die and the label material.
3. Heat & Pressure – The heated die presses the foil onto the label surface, transferring the design.
4. Final Look – The result is a raised or flat shiny imprint that enhances the label’s visual appeal.
