Hot Stamping for Metallic Package Accents
15 patents in this list
Updated:
Hot stamping metallic accents onto packaging requires precise control of thermal and mechanical parameters. Current processes face challenges with uneven pressure distribution, substrate deformation, and inconsistent foil transfer—particularly when stamping temperatures exceed 150°C and pressure variations of even 0.1 MPa can affect finish quality.
The fundamental challenge lies in maintaining uniform heat and pressure distribution across complex substrate geometries while preventing thermal damage to the underlying materials.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including contoured foil designs that match substrate shapes, servo-driven stamping mechanisms with integrated pressure control, and thermal management systems using heated anvil rolls. These and other approaches focus on achieving consistent metallic finishes while maintaining production speeds and material integrity.
