Hot Foil & Cold Foil
The real name of bronzing should be called: Foil Stamping. The material used in bronzing is actually aluminum, not real gold foil.
Using a zinc plate to make a printing plate, and transferring various aluminum foils to the paper by heating, with the advancement of technology, in addition to the common gold and silver, there are also bronze gold, rose gold, laser&hellip ; etc, a variety of colors can be selected.
Want a variety of hot stamping effects, but the budget is not enough…...
Then cold stamping technology is a new choice, which can make up for the shortcomings of traditional hot stamping technology.
Traditional hot stamping
The color foil is hot stamped on the substrate by heating, and the color can only be presented in a single color. If multiple metallic colors are required, multiple processings are required.
The gradient effect cannot be displayed, and there are restrictions on the thickness of text and lines.
The principle of cold stamping
The name named relative to the traditional hot stamping technology is different from the traditional hot stamping; it is a hot stamping technology that does not require heating. At room temperature, cold stamping glue is used to transfer the gold foil. on the substrate.
Advantages of cold blanching
Better effect: cold blanching has a better texture than hot blanching, and the edges of the foil are smoother.
First hot stamping and then printing: The process of first cold stamping and then printing, four-color printing on the hot stamping pattern can have a metallic gradient effect; Therefore, the color changes of cold stamping are more abundant, and there is no text size , Line thickness limit.
In-line production: The quality of the cold-pressed cut surface is high and stable, and it can transfer large area and small and medium areas at the same time.
It is very suitable for the trademark industry, printing industry and other industries that require high-speed production to reduce costs.
*If there is no printing color on the foil after cold foiling, it will show the true color of silver foil or laser foil*
