Hot stamping is a method of hot stamping metal foil or pigment foil onto printed matter or other substrates with the help of certain pressure and temperature. The principle is to use thermosetting mask technology to transfer the pre-made template from the template to the product surface, and then use the corresponding cooling pad to cool the transferred shape, and finally form a pattern or logo.

The use of hot stamping on notebooks

Printing and foil stamping is a common and effective decorative technique in notebook cover design. By using hot stamping paper treated with anodized aluminum or color film, combined with heating and pressure of a metal plate, text, patterns or decorative elements in gold or other colors can be transferred to the notebook cover. This process not only makes the notebook cover brighter and more exquisite, but also enhances its visual appeal and improves the overall grade and taste.

The foil cover design can be personalized based on the notebook’s purpose, positioning and target audience. For example, the cover of a business notebook may use a more formal and solemn hot stamping pattern, while a creative or artistic notebook may use a more creative and personalized hot stamping design.

In addition, hot stamping covers can also be combined with other printing processes, such as UV glazing, etc., to create richer and unique visual effects. UV glazing can make the cover smoother and brighter, complementing the hot stamping effect.
