Questions
Hot Stamping Foil — questions we are asked
What material is used for Hot Stamping Foil?
Paper, board, leather, cloth, plastics, coated surfaces. We specify the material against the job it actually has to do rather than supplying a single default — tell us the application and the conditions it will see, and we will confirm the build.
What sizes are available for Hot Stamping Foil?
Slit to order. Anything outside that is usually still possible — send your drawing or a sample and we will confirm what can be made.
Can Hot Stamping Foil be made in a custom size or shape?
Yes. Cutting tools are made on our own premises, so a custom die profile is a matter of days rather than a wait on an outside toolmaker. Send the dimensions, a drawing or a sample of the container and we will confirm the tooling and quote it.
What is the minimum order quantity for Hot Stamping Foil?
Quantities are quoted per job rather than fixed, because the economics change with the size, the number of colours and the material. Tell us the run size you have in mind and we will tell you honestly whether it is viable and what it costs.
How do I supply artwork?
Print-ready PDF, AI, EPS or CDR with 3 mm bleed and fonts converted to outlines. If you do not have artwork we can set it from your logo and copy. Nothing goes to plate or die until you have approved a digital proof.
Need a label built for your product?
Send us the size, the material and the surface it goes on. We will quote with a lead time, and make a sample before you commit to a production run.
