Hot Stamping Film
Hot stamping film supplies the metallic and pigmented character of the range: gilded stone, brushed metal, flash patterns and foil finishes transferred onto frames, boards, panels and profiles. Buyers who picture shine, metal and gilding start here; buyers who picture printed scenery start with heat transfer film — and many jobs use both.
Hot Stamping Film: the range in this family
Metallic Hot Stamping Foil
Metallic foil is the shine of the range: brushed, laser and flash finishes, gilded accents and fine metallic textures for frames, panels, aluminium and feature surfaces that need light to move across them..

Hot Stamping Film: care, storage and repeat orders
Storage decides how a film performs months after delivery. Keep rolls in a ventilated, shaded, cool place, protected from pressure, dampness, heat and direct sunshine, and keep each roll in its wrapping until it reaches the machine.
Samples are the fastest route through this catalogue. Stock samples and catalogues let you judge colour, gloss and pattern scale on your own substrate and under your own light before any production quantity is discussed, and custom patterns begin from your drawings or physical samples.

Hot Stamping Film: substrates and applications
Heat transfer and hot stamping share one principle: heat and pressure persuade a prepared film to give up its decorative layer to the substrate beneath it. The film carries the pattern; the substrate keeps it. Everything in this catalogue is a variation on that exchange, tuned by substrate, pattern and finish.
Custom development follows the same path as the standard range: a design brief or a sample, a pattern developed or matched, a proof on film, a trial on your substrate, and then production. Yearly colour card collections keep the standard range moving, so a pattern family you like can usually be refreshed rather than reinvented.
