Frugal Foil Usage

Know your machine specifications

The optimum speed and temperature for stamping and embossing varies from equipment brand to equipment brand. Knowing this information can save foil by cutting out the guesswork.

"Know the run temperature and speed recommended by the foil supplier. This will save time trying to figure out when the foil will release properly. Too many customers do not know what the foil supplier recommends for temperature and speed," said David Stollenwerk, executive vice president, American Die Technology.
