Hot Stamping is a printing method that creates an indented design on the product surface using a heated custom metal plate. This plate is pressed firmly onto the product surface, leaving a permanent impression of the artwork. It’s often used on materials like wood.

Advantages

  • Higher perceived value than other forms of branding.
  • The branding becomes part of the product and is permanent.
  • The product can be shipped as soon as heat pressing is finished.
  • Certain products can produce a two-tone, contrasting finish.

Limitations

  • Unable to print variable data such as individual naming.
  • Large block artwork can produce an inconsistent print result.
  • Minimum line thickness: 0.4mm.
