01
Product boxes and sleeves
Foil logos, fine borders, seals, and small decorative marks for carton sleeves, rigid boxes, and packaging covers.
What we do
Hot-foil stamping from artwork to finished piece.
We add metallic foil details to packaging and printed materials by using heat, pressure, foil film, and a prepared die. The result can be subtle and premium or bold and highly reflective.
Applications
Where foil stamping works well.
Product boxes, sleeves, labels, tags, folders, paper bags, invitations, certificates, cards, event materials, and specialty inserts.
Foil can be used for logos, borders, seals, monograms, fine lines, headings, and small decorative details.

Photo examples
The main stages of a hot stamping job.
These examples show the setup, transfer, and finished-result stages that affect the sharpness and shine of the final impression.
01
Die setup and alignment
The artwork is turned into a stamping die, then positioned against the stock and guide marks so the foil lands in the correct place.
02
Heat, foil, and pressure
The foil film passes between the heated die and the material. Heat and pressure release the metallic layer onto the surface.
03
Finished foil details
The finished pieces are checked for clean edges, even coverage, registration, shine, and handling marks before turnover.
Machine examples
Common press types for foil stamping work.
The right setup depends on material size, foil coverage, registration, run length, and whether the job also needs embossing or die cutting.
01
Cylinder press
Useful for larger sheets and production work where steady sheet travel, pressure, and repeatable registration matter.
02
Platen press
Uses flat pressure between platen and die, often suited for cards, tags, labels, invitations, sleeves, and carton pieces.
03
Heidelberg GTP platen
The helicopter or windmill-style platen press used for compact hot-foil jobs with fast sheet feeding and repeatable registration.
Production notes
What affects the quote and final result.
Artwork
Clean vector artwork gives the sharpest die and the cleanest foil edge. Fine details and large solids are checked differently.
Material
Smooth, flat paperboard usually stamps better than rough or uneven stock. Coatings and texture affect foil adhesion.
Foil choice
Metallic, pigment, matte, gloss, and holographic foils behave differently depending on the stock and coverage area.
Quantity
Short runs, samples, and production runs can all be quoted, but setup time and die preparation affect the unit price.
