Flatbed Hot Foil Printing Machines

Flat Bed Hot Foil

Hot foil is a printing method where foils are transferred to a surface at high temperatures. In a dedicated or cassette type hot stamping die section of the press, a die is mounted and heated, with the product to be stamped placed beneath it.

A metallized roll of material is inserted between the two, and the die presses down through it. The dry paint or foil used is impressed into the surface of the product. This is an intermittent process and a buffer is required between the hot stamping section to allow for continuous printing. Because the process is intermittent reduced amounts of foil can be used reducing cost.
