HOTFOILING
For hot foil stamping the glue layer must be activated well and pressure needs to transfer from the carrier to the surface. Depending on the substrate surface, the transfer is easier or more demanding. Consequently different applications demand different characteristics of the applicator. For some applications rotary is better, for others flat bed has a great advantage. Find the best suitable product by checking within the following application descriptions.
HOTFOILING ON COATED, CLOSED SUBSTRATES
|
|
Closed surfaces, such as on coated papers and plastics, may easily be served with rotary hot foil stamping technology. Small rotary hot foil stamping units are a low investment because they are easier to integrate into rotary machines. Typical business areas: Food, cosmetics, health care, security CHEETAH™ F Note: Flat bed may be very suitable for coated substrates as well. Please check Foil saving section, foil embossing to get ideas on considerations about differentiation. |
HOTFOILING ON UNCOATED, OPEN SUBSTRATES
|
|
The stamping process on uncoated open papers is more demanding than on coated. With rotary application - due to the short line contact between the tool, the foil and the substrate - often 35, 40 or sometimes 50 m/min cannot be exceeded. Pantec GS Systems flat bed systems can increase the contact time by factor 7 or higher. This allows higher linear speeds, better transfer quality and cheaper foils and cheaper tools. |
