What Are the Characteristics of Hot Stamping?

Cosmetics packaging more often use plastic as raw materials. However, in order to show the packaging itself originally does not have a metallic texture, or to enhance the grade, businesses also often through the way of hot stamping to indirectly obtain consumer recognition of the texture, taste. These are common in beauty, skin care and other products packaging. You can look at the cosmetic bottles that you would normally use in your life. And with the development of hot stamping, a variety of custom patterns or special texture of hot stamping also came into being. So how much do you know about the characteristics of hot stamping?

Hot stamping, as a very widely used process in the current secondary process, also has its unique characteristics as following:

1.Low environmental impact and low energy consumption. The product whole side stamping is no ink residue and some unpleasant smell, there is no pollution to the air. And the colorful patterns can be finished in one stamping, especially when used for soft tubes, so that the loss can be reduced. Electric heating temperature should be controlled between 70 ~ 180℃. Stamping area is larger, the electric heating temperature is relatively higher; for small text, lines, stamping area is smaller, stamping temperature should be lower. This shows the high conversion rate of electrical energy to thermal energy and the low loss of mechanical energy.

2.Low requirements for space and flexible operation. Hot stamping can also be produced in line with molding, printing and assembly as needed.

3.High freedom of customization. According to different customer needs, you can customize the appearance effect that you need to achieve, such as printing your own logo on the lipgloss tubes by stamping.

4.The process of hot stamping is mostly mechanical, which makes it relatively easy to achieve efficient automated integration of workstations. Therefore, the efficiency and automation of stamping are very high, which is very suitable for large quantity of airless bottle stamping

After knowing the above characteristics about hot stamping, do you have a better understanding of it? The product printed by hot stamping process is not only the highest gloss, smooth to the touch, but also very textured. It looks especially bright like a mirror surface, such as compact powder. In addition, the main materials that can be stamped are paper, leather and wood. And the slower the stamping, the better the effect, because the long heat time allows the gold foil to be fully transferred. So if you have any need for this, don’t hesitate to contact us!
