Hot Foil Stamping
Hot foil stamping is a process of applying foils onto a surface by using heat and pressure. This technique is commonly utilized in high-quality and beauty packaging to achieve a desired visual effect, which can greatly enhance your brand identity. The foils used in hot foil stamping can vary from solid colors to holographic or metallic finishes.
