Cold stamping

Concise IntroductionCold Stamping (or Cold Foil Transfer) is an advanced metallization finishing process that entirely eliminates the need for heated dies. Offering stunning metallic gradients and dimensional effects unattainable with traditional hot stamping, it is exceptionally friendly to heat-sensitive substrates. The process operates by applying a UV adhesive directly onto the substrate; the metallic foil layer is then precisely transferred under room-temperature pressure and permanently bonded via instant UV curing. Featuring zero plate-making costs, low energy consumption, and seamless inline production capabilities with printing presses, it stands as the premier mainstream metallization solution for modern high-speed packaging printing.Process Advantages• Zero plate fees: Digital UV adhesive completely replaces traditional metal stamping dies, saving plate-making costs for every design change.• Fully in-line production: Printing, adhesive coating, cold transfer, and UV curing are seamlessly completed in a single pass, boosting efficiency by over 30%.• CMYK over-printable: Capable of receiving direct 4-color overprinting on the metallic layer, unlocking infinite photorealistic metallic gradients.• Low-temperature process: Heat-free application perfectly protects heat-sensitive substrates, ensuring zero deformation for shrink sleeves and ultra-thin films.• Universal process adaptability: Fully compatible with offset, flexographic, screen printing, digital presses, and aluminum-wash processes.• Eco-friendly & Energy-saving: Zero heating energy consumption combined with lower foil waste rates.Application FieldsPremium Spirits & Cosmetics Cartons · Beverage & Food LabelsDaily Chemical & Personal Care · E-cigarette LabelsShrink Sleeve · Greeting Cards & Commercial PrintFashion Tags & Bags · Glass Bottle DecorationApplicable SubstratesPaper：Coated Art Paper / Matt Coated Paper / Cardboard / Gold & Silver CardboardFilm：PE / PVC / OPP / PET / PETG / PS / PCShrink Sleeve · In-Mould LabelsLeather & Soft PVC · Glass（with primer）Storage ConditionsStore away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity.
