What is "Foil Imprinting"?
Foil imprinting or "Hot Stamping" is a process of permanently imbedding text or images onto a
surface like paper, plastic or leather with a very thin layer of foil. The foil usually comes in gold, but
is also available in many colors and textures.
The vibrant color and depth of foil imprinting imparts a 3-dimensional effect not obtainable with
conventional printing with ink. The process begins by setting the desired message on special metal
type or photoengraved dies. The type are inserted into the machine and heated to the operating
temperature. The article to be imprinted is then placed on the printing table under the foil. When the
machine handle is pulled, the type or dies will melt a coloring agent into the article leaving a crisp,
permanent mark.
With your SLE Hot Printer you can personalize thousands of articles such as award ribbons, napkins,
greeting cards, pencils, book covers, matchbooks, playing cards, letterheads, business cards, leather
goods, photographs, slide mounts, Mylar balloons, plastic name badges, satin pillows, champagne
glasses, ceramic mugs and candles.
