Pigment Hot Stamping foils bring many of the same advantages for the application of colour which metallic Hot Stamping foils have over metallic inks and liquid coatings.

• Applications include graphical, closures, packaging, plastics and license plates
• Available in reels, cut to customer-specified length and width
• Additional specialist grades and shades on request

Product Types

PG: A premium matt pigment foil for general purpose applications. Excellent for both fine detail and broad area coverage work as required by the labelling, packaging and graphics sectors.

EZ: For deep stamping of lettering and fine detail into rigid plastics and designed with an easy release, which provides medium coverage to fine detail prints.

432: A premium Hot Stamping pigment foil, suitable for both fine detail and broad area coverage work. It is extremely versatile, can be used on a wide range of substrates. It has a ‘pop-off’ release for high speed and ease of application.

UA: A general purpose matt pigment foil which provides versatility with excellent coverage and definition.

Specifically, the use of heat and pressure to apply pigment foil enables the contours of the substrate to be flattened out to provide a smooth surface in the ‘printed’ area.

Clean, high quality text and graphics can therefore be achieved on uneven, rough and textured surfaces.

Another key benefit of foil is the straightforward and clean application process. With fewer variables involved, machines are typically low-cost and easy to operate. Additionally, there are no process chemicals to manage, eliminating related health, safety, and environmental concerns.

This makes pigment Hot Stamping foils particularly relevant for low volume, high quality label applications.

On plastics and other solid materials, the stamping process can be configured to imprint text or graphics deep into the substrate, creating a full, even, and clean-edged layer of colour below the surface that is protected from wear and tear.

Compared with inks and liquid coatings, foils deliver a higher pigment load per unit area, resulting in greater colour depth and opacity.

Finally, the resistance properties of foil are crucial in functional applications, such as on the handling surfaces of durable goods or weather-exposed products like vehicle licence plates.
