Foil
and emboss

Use hot foil stamping as a special effect or extra color layer. By embossing, the surface will be lifted up.

Wide variety of different metallic, holographic or plain colours can be used in hot foil stamping. Hot foiling increases the quality and luxury effect of the product. The process can be applied to a large variety of different substrates, such as coated/uncoated paper and cardboard or even plastics.

By embossing, the surface will be lifted up. Debossing has the opposite effect and is also called a negative-emboss. The embossed area can be plain or three-dimensional (3D). By using combination tools, hot foil stamping can also be applied simultaneously with embossing.

By using 3D embossing you can create own unique design. The embossing process can be applied to coated, uncoated, printed or unprinted areas.

Guidelines | Hot foil stamping

Sheet sizes:

minimum: 210 x 280 mm
maximum: 1040 x 730 mm

Send us the area to be hot foiled in positioned 1:1 PDF-file. Use black or other spot colour as hot foil area and white as background. The minimum distance of hot foil area from the start of the sheet is 15mm due the gripper marging.

Note: the recommended minimum line widths depend on substrate and end product, but the following design rules apply to most cases:
– normal hot foil stamping 100µm on coated paper
– normal hot foil stamping 200µm on uncoated and coarse paper

The minimum line widths for special materials, such as uncoated special paper and cardboard or embossed materials are bigger than mentioned above. We are more than happy to guide you in this matter.

Guidelines | Emboss/Deboss

Sheet sizes:

minimum: 210 x 280 mm
maximum: 1040 x 730 mm

Send us the area to be embossed/debossed in positioned 1:1 PDF-file. Use black or other spot colour as embossing area and white as background. The minimum distance of embossed/debossed area from the start of the sheet is 15mm due gripper margin.

The recommended minimum line widths depend on substrate and end product, but the following design rules apply to most cases:
– emboss/deboss 2 x thickness of the substrate

Note: the minimum line widths for special materials, such as uncoated paper and cardboard or embossed materials are bigger than mentioned above. We are more than happy to guide you in this matter.
