This modern technology, known as foil stamping, first appeared in the late 19th century. Today, it is widely used to improve the visual art of product packaging boxes and the perceived value of products. Hot stamping is a special printing process, which is widely used in product labels, holiday cards, folders, postcards and certificates in addition to high-end packaging boxes.

Hot stamping process is to transfer aluminum foil to the substrate surface to form a special metal effect by using the principle of hot pressing transfer. Although the process name is called “foil stamping”, but its hot stamping color is not only gold. The color is determined according to the color of aluminum foil. The most common colors are “gold” and “silver”. In addition, there are “red”, “green”, “blue”, “black”, “bronze”, “coffee”, “dumb gold”, “dumb silver”, “pearl light” and “laser”. In addition, the foil process has a strong covering capacity, which can be perfectly covered no matter whether the background color of the packaging box is white, black or color.

As a special printing technology without ink, stamping is very environmentally friendly and clean, which is very suitable for use in paper packaging boxes. Stamping process generally has two main uses, one is used for the surface decoration of product packaging box, in order to improve the beauty and value of products. Secondly, the gilding process can be combined with the concave and convex striking process, which can create a three-dimensional artistic sense of the packaging box on the one hand, and highlight its important information, such as logo, brand name, etc.

Another main function is anti-counterfeiting function. Nowadays, once a brand has a reputation, it will be forged by many bad workshops. Bronzing not only displays the individuation of the packaging box, but also adds the anti-counterfeiting function. Users can judge the authenticity of the product by the tiny details of the stamping process in the packaging box

No matter it is a big international brand or some start-ups, they have enough budget to use in the gift box. The effect after printing is also very bright, very suitable for today’s ribbon trend.
