A hot stamping foil is something you need to consider if you
happen to be in the stamping business or just love to stamp things as a
hobby and in case anyone was wondering whether heat is used anywhere in
the process due to the word hot, the answer is yes, heat is used up to
enforce the stamping. For those who may not be aware, hot stamping is a
term that refers to the process of imprinting or embedding pictures,
words or other designs onto materials like books, clothes e.t.c.
Foil stamping was created as a form of helping people develop their own appealing designs in an easy to do process that was also cost effective. If you are still unsure about what a hot stamping foil is all about let's look at the example of a wedding card, a decorated one in this case, not the plain cards that only have the names of the potential newlyweds.If you look at the decorated wedding card, you will see a fine stamp of words, a picture or pictures or a design on the cards surface, a kind of a depression into the card. The machine that was used to put those "depressions" is what we are referring to as a hot stamp. The foil is what is used in the hot stamping process as we shall later see.
A hot stamping foil is a very useful tool especially to entrepreneurs who are in the paperwork industry or fashion industry. It makes it possible for the different types of designers to produce original artworks or easily replicate what a client wants.What the process entails is first choosing a material one wishes to stamp. The material can be paper, clothing materials like leather or even plastic materials. The material to be stamped is then placed in the hot stamping foil, though an important point to note is that the foil is placed in between the stamping machine and the material. The dye that is to be used should already have been placed on the lid after a bit of heating to ease and fasten the process of stamping. Then to finalize the process, one has to press the lid down, against both the foil and material to be stamped. Heat and force needs to be applied to ensure the imprinting or stamping take pace.
The benefits of using a hot stamping foil are immense and the most relevant we shall look at is the hot stamping foil being environmentally friendly. There is no emission of dangerous gases into the atmosphere like with other stamping processes. The dye used is measured well and therefore nothing goes to waste. It is an easy process for anyone who has the passion for stamping and it does not require a lot of labor nor time.
