Foil Decoration

Hot foil stamping is the quality standard that foil decoration is measured against. But as usual, the high quality also comes at a higher cost.

One of the key advantages of hot foil stamping is it provides the fine detail definition that high-end products such as cosmetics and wine labels demand, says Arnall Page, API dieLESS product manager for API Foils. The tradeoff in higher costs for this level of quality come from the special equipment needed for application, the need for a heating element, and the use of engraved stamping dies.
