Hot Stamp Printing
Hot stamping gets its name from the heat and pressure combination that weds the preprinted pigment to the substrate. VisionMark uses the rotary method
of hot stamping, in which the inks are applied in-line on rolls of the substrate to be printed.
Hot Stamp printing uses controlled heat, pressure, and precision timing to apply colored or metallic pigment or resin to decorate surfaces of varied shapes
and materials. A heated die containing a raised graphic image is used to press the inks onto the surface. Web advancement between stampings is precisely
controlled for consistent stamping quality and minimal waste. Abrasion and chemical-resistant hot stamping foils are available in numerous colors and
resins to maximize image quality and durability. Custom-designed foils can be supplied to match substrate characteristics, adding to the versatility of
this process.
Hot stamping is the only decorative method where brilliant gold and silver metallic graphics can be produced. Foils are also manufactured in gloss or
matte pigment colors, wood grain designs, brushed effects, and chromium for exterior use. Multicolored graphics can be accomplished with pre-printed heat
transfers and continuous patterned foils.
Hot stamp printing is a cost-effective process for products requiring heavy color density, opacity, and durability in short to medium length production
runs. The process also provides for in-line finishing and converting operations like laminating, die cutting, weeding, and slitting.
VisionMark is equipped with four hot stamp presses with a variety of capacity and conversion options.

and constructions.
