In hot stamping, metallic prints and foil are applied to plastic, paper, and cards. In addition to metallic, matte, glossy, and holographic textures, it can produce a variety of textures on the medium.
In hot stamping foil printing, heat, pressure, and metal foils produce metallic-looking patterns, texts, and graphics in various colors and textures. Using heat to move images from a hot stamp to a chosen surface is called hot stamping.
The use of stamping foil is common in various industries, including banking, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, tobacco, wine, and liquor. Many high-security applications are also used, including checks, stamps, banknotes, and other essential documents.
As hot stamping foil lacks holography, it is susceptible to duplication, compromising the security of your documents, government IDs, licenses, and credit cards. Without tasteful elements, conventional foil stamping fails to capture the attention of purchasers, resulting in low sales. Stamping foil can’t be fine-tuned to match your stamping machine if you can’t fine-tune it.
Holographic hot stamping foils ensure optimal security by preventing unauthorized use of government identification cards, records, and items. Using 4th generation nano optical holography will make your product stand out. The picture can be used precisely and uniformly on the substrate by scanning marks on hot stamped foil.
Due to the absence of liquid ink, hot stamping with foil is sometimes referred to as dry stamping or foil stamping. Metal discs and dies are used to stamp foil instead of liquid ink.
Its many advantages include being permanent, irremovable, and cost-effective for high-volume applications.
In contrast to pad printing and silk screening, stamping does not use ink, according to Shriram Veritech Solutions. It is unaffected by the medium’s color or texture. As a result, it is suitable for printed items with dark-colored surfaces because it does not require ink and is not affected by medium color or texture.
An HRI stamping is a metalized material with a high level of protection that can be used in holograms. Zinc sulfide is used instead of aluminum to metalize HRI foils, making them translucent.
Shriram Veritech is one of the leading manufacturers of Holographic transfer in India. In large-volume applications, hot stamping foils are cost-effective, permanent, and cannot be peeled or transferred.
Due to their diffusion-free nature and higher accuracy of holographic results, these foils are well suited to pharmaceutical packaging, bank papers, ID cards, and academic certificates.
Compared to other holograms, these foils are diffusion-free and have a higher accuracy of holographic results, making them ideal for pharmaceutical packaging, bank papers, ID cards, and academic certificates.
Hot stamping foil is a process that uses a combination of heat and pressure to apply holographic transfer foils onto various products, documents, or packaging material. These are used in multiple applications that require anti-counterfeiting or anti-tampering functionality. Hot stamping foils are widely used in industries such as Banking, Pharma, F&B, Tobacco, Wine & Liquor, etc. They are also used extensively for high-security applications such as cheques, stamp papers, banknotes, and other secure documents.
Armed with more than two decades of technical experience and cutting-edge technology, Veritech has developed an advanced manufacturing process for the Chromium Based Hologram (CBH). This melding of expertise in holographic techniques and high-security printing capability has resulted in a CBH that incorporates all mandatory elements and hence finds acceptance nationwide – a critical factor for vehicle-based applications. In addition, Veritech’s Chromium-based holographic hot stamping foils are resilient and tamper-resistant owing to their unique manufacturing process. They are widely used in high-security registration plates (HSRP) owing to their durability and longevity in outdoor conditions.
HRI Hot Stamping Foil is a transparent metallized material which can be used in high-security transparent holograms. HRI foils are metallized with Zinc Sulfide instead of aluminium which imparts a transparent appearance to it. These foils are diffusion free and have a higher consistency of holographic effects as compared to other holograms, which make them very useful in applications such as pharmaceutical packaging, bank documents, ID cards, and academic certificates.
This is an online transfer process wherein a UV-curable adhesive is printed onto the substrate as per the desired shape and design, after which the foil is applied onto the substrate and then stripped away, leaving only the area where the adhesive was applied. Since this process does not need a die to be made, production time is considerably reduced. In addition, cold stamping foil can also have special effects such as embossing, gradient, gloss/matte finish, etc.
Cold foil is a high-speed process whereby the foil is bonded to a spot of ink, so there is no need for a stamping die or heat.
Cold foil printing, also known as cold foil stamping, is a method of printing metallic foil onto a substrate to enhance the final product’s aesthetic. Cold foil printing can be done two ways: the older dry lamination process standard in the offset printing industry or the newer, more versatile wet lamination process, which is dominant in the packaging industry today.
What is Cold foil stamping?
Cold foiling is an online transfer process wherein a UV-curable adhesive is printed onto the substrate as per the desired shape and design, after which the foil is applied onto the substrate and then stripped away, leaving only the area where the adhesive was applied. Since this process does not need a die to be made, production time is considerably reduced. In addition, cold foiling can also have various special effects such as embossing, gradient, gloss/matte finish, etc.
Cold foiling is a high-speed process, and precise registration is ensured with Veritech’s world-class quality control systems. A wide variety of patterns and colors are possible with this process, and cold foils can be overprinted easily and are perfect for applications using heat-sensitive materials.
Advantages of coil foil stamping
• High Speed, the online process translates into quicker deliveries
• Available in a wide range of colors and finishes
• No dies required – reduced tooling time and costs
• High durability and aesthetic appeal
Demetallization is widely used on currency notes, security documents, and many other confidential documents. These foils can also be seen in the Euro, owing to its high level of security against duplication. Demetallization means the metal part is removed from specific hologram areas to form various security patterns or design enhancements. Therefore, it is perceived as one of the highest levels of security in modern hologram technology.
