Custom Hot Stamp Labels

Hot stamp imprint process utilizes pressure and heat to create decorative metallic labels and tags. An essential element of hot stamp printing is the use of an engraved plate with raised images. The ink used in hot stamping is a roll of dry ink. To print a label or tag with a hot stamp, the engraved plate is heated and then forced down against the label or tag material with the dry ink sandwiched in between.
