Hot Foil Stamping Machine is a printing and finishing machine that uses heat, pressure, and metallic or colored foil to transfer designs, logos, text, or decorative effects onto materials such as paper, cardboard, leather, plastic, wood, and fabric. The process is widely used for premium packaging, book covers, invitation cards, labels, and luxury products. How it works A metal die (usually brass, copper, or zinc) is heated. Foil is placed between the die and the material. Heat and pressure transfer the foil from the carrier film onto the surface. The foil remains only where the die contacts the material.
