A hot foil stamping machine is a specialized printing device that applies metallic or pigmented foil onto a surface using heat and pressure. This printing and packaging machine creates premium, eye-catching finishes commonly seen on luxury packaging, business cards, book covers, labels, and invitations.
How a Hot Foil Stamping Machine Works (Step-by-Step):
Foil Loading: A roll of thin foil (gold, silver, holographic, etc.) is fed through the machine.
Heated Die: A custom metal die (engraved with the design) is heated to 100–250°C (depending on materials).
Pressure Application: The die presses the foil against the substrate (paper, cardstock, leather, plastic, etc.).
Foil Transfer: Heat activates an adhesive layer on the foil, bonding only the design area to the surface. Excess foil is peeled away.
Cooling/Release: The substrate cools, and the stamped piece is ejected.
Key Features:
Precision: Creates sharp, reflective, or matte metallic effects impossible with ink.
Versatility: Works on paper, cardboard, plastics, leather, and some fabrics.
Types:
Flat-bed (for flat sheets)
Cylinder (for high-speed rolls)
Clamshell (manual/small-scale)
Common Applications:
Luxury packaging (perfume boxes, wine labels)
Security features (holographic foils on banknotes/ID cards)
Bookbinding (spines, covers)
Cosmetics (lipstick tubes, compacts)

Hot foil stamping is cost-effective for premium packaging and labels. Initial machine investment (e.g., EX-1050FH) is offset by high-speed output (7500 sheets/h) and low foil waste via servo skipping. Running costs depend on foil type—standard metallic foil is $0.02–0.08 per m²; holographic adds 20–30%. For runs >5,000 units, unit cost drops below digital alternatives, delivering faster ROI.
Hot stamping and foil stamping are the same process. Both use heat (0–200°C), pressure (up to 300 N/cm²), and a die to transfer foil onto paper, cardboard, or plastic. The terms are interchangeable in the printing industry. EX.EXPORT's machines combine hot foil stamping with die-cutting in one pass, ensuring precision and efficiency.
There are a few considerations to keep in mind when purchasing a hot foil stamping machine. Among them are:
1. Choose an automatic hot foil stamping machine that can manage the amount of load capacity you want to put on it. If you need to stamp a large amount of material, an automatic hot foil stamping machine is preferable to a manual one to save time.
2. The material on which you wish to stamp will also influence the type of automatic foil stamping machine you select. It’s a good idea to double-check which machine is compatible with your items. Not all automatic foil stamping machines are capable of stamping on all materials.
3 . In addition to the various types of machines, floor and counter-top models are available. This is governed by how much storage capacity you have for your hot foil stamping equipment.
