Hot stamping

Hot stamping is a finishing process used in printing where metallic or pigmented foil is applied to a surface using heat and pressure. This creates a shiny, glossy, or matte effect, often used for logos, text, or decorative designs. Hot stamping is commonly used in packaging, business cards, and promotional materials to add a premium, eye-catching look.

Example:

• Business Cards: A logo or brand name can be hot-stamped with gold or silver foil, making it stand out and giving the card a high-end look.

• Packaging: Luxury product packaging often uses hot stamping to apply a glossy foil to a brand name or decorative elements, creating a premium appearance.

• Book Covers: Hot stamping can be used to apply metallic foil to titles or logos on book covers, giving them a more elegant and attractive finish.
