Hot Foil Stamping Introduction
Hot Foil Stamping Introduction
Foil stamping is a special kind of printing procedure where heat, pressure, and a metallic paper (foil) is used to create different shiny designs and graphics on various materials. Foil stamping gives the stamped design a shiny and incredible look and is increasingly becoming the preferred method of printing in many an industry.
Foil stamping is also referred to as hot stamping (because of the use of heat), foil printing, dry stamping, and leaf stamping.
Foil stamping is called dry printing because it does not use any sort of ink for printing purposes. It is a dry stamping process where ink, some sort of magnetism, or plates are not used to print letters and pictures as is used in traditional printing methods. In place of all these things, foil stamping uses dies or carved metal plates, heat, and foil in the stamping process.
In the foil stamping process, the die or the sculpted metal plate comes in contact with the foil and transfers a thin layer of the foil film onto the intended surface. As the metal plate is heated, the foil sticks to the surface only in the design of the plate and in the required areas with the desired imprint.
Foil stamping uses heat and metallic film in a specialty printing process that produces a shiny design on paper, vinyl, textiles, wood, hard plastic, leather, and other materials. Foil stamping, also called hot stamping, dry stamping, foil imprinting, or leaf stamping, can be combined with dimensional embossing to make letters and images on business cards, book covers, gift cards, office folders, and a whole host of professional or personal items.
Using several layers of foil in different colors or combining ink and foil can embellish this simple "flat" stamp. Imprinting and embossing adds even more dimensionality. The edges of the foil stamp may be straight, curved, or sculpted to make the image pop or float above the page.
Foil leaf is available in every imaginable color and pattern, like standard gold or marbleized green. Rarer types of leaf come in matte, pearlescent, holographic, opalescent, or glossy finish. Semi-transparent layers allow an under color to show through. Not only does it provide a uniquely vibrant image with depth, foil stamping can be applied to a much more diverse selection of substrates in comparison to ink.

We ship from Canada warehouse for Canada’s customers and from US warehouse for US’s customers. For the others,we ship from HONG KONG warehouse.Low shipping fee and fast shipping

Advantage of Pad Printing
The main advantage of pad printing when compared with other similar printing methods is the unique possibility of printing many types of irregular shaped surfaces, while other printing methods are often times limited to flat and/or round surfaces only (such as screen printing).
Pad printing offers the manufacturer with the same, or in some cases, greater versatility as screen printing and hot stamping when pertaining to the variety of printing substrates that can be decorated. Nearly all known materials can be pad printed. To name a few; plastic, glass, metal, coated substrates, ceramics, silicones, pharmaceuticals, foods and more.
• Versatility of printable materials
• Can accommodate both small and large scale runs, Customize per order in a way that is impractical for screen printing.
• Can effortlessly print around 3D items.
• About 90% of what you find can be printed on. Every day people figure out how to print on the remaining 10% of materials.
• Cheaper initial investment than with any other printing method.
• Easy to learn – Someone can pick up this process without any background and successfully run a lucrative business in no time.
• Huge, ever-expanding, market potential. Every day we discover new applications for this technology.
• Pad printing excels at minute details (remember its origin decorating watch faces)

Portrait & Landscape Paper for book binding
Diagram of Portrait and Landscape Paper Presentation
The terms Portrait and Landscape when used to refer to paper indicate the way the paper is presented to the viewer. When paper is presented as in a letter with the short side at the top it is referred to as Portrait and when it has the long side at the top, for instance a print of a slide from a slide show, it is referred to as Landscape (see diagram to the right).
The names Portrait and Landscape are taken from art as portraits are generally painted with a shorter top edge and longer sides, with landscapes having the longer top edge and shorter sides.
Use Of The Terms Portrait Size & Landscape Size
Sometimes you may hear terms such as 'A4 Portrait Size' or 'A3 Landscape Size', technichally the use of these terms is incorrect. For instance 'A4 Portrait Size' actually means A4 size paper presented to the user in Portrait view and 'A3 Landscape Size' means A3 size paper presented to the user as a Landscape view. You could use 'A4 Size Portrait' or 'A3 Size Landscape' to more clearly present your intentions in these cases.
Landscape & Portait Binding & Binders
When a book is bound it will be bound in either Landscape or Portrait format. Most books are bound in Portrait format along the longer edge, this ensures that they are stronger and more durable. Books bound along the shorter edge are said to be in Landscape format.
It is a similar situation with Ring Binders or Lever Arch Files, if the rings are along the long side the binder is a Portrait Binder and if the rings are along the short side it is said to be a Landscape Binder.
We have three warehouses in Canada,US,and HONG KONG..
