When you design your beauty products' packaging, there's no doubt that you want to make it eye-catching, no matter what style the design is. Except for color picking, two common-seen technics can help make the pieces stand out from the others, Foil stamping and embossing 3D technics. And today, we're going to talk about foil stamping technic.

Hot stamping, also called foil stamping, flat stamping, gold stamping, blocking, and leafing, is a printing technic that transfers the pre-dried ink or foils to a surface at high temperatures. The reason it is called flat stamping because it does not end in a raised effect. The die of foil stamping could be metal or silicone rubber. And between the two kinds of dies, metallic foil is more popular. It shows the metallic sheen and is available in different colors, such as gold, silver, and copper. In fact, besides color, foil stamping can also show different finishes and effects, from marble, snakeskin, imitation leather, pearls, wood grains, and geometric patterns to holograms, pigments, metallics, and subtle tints, in matte and gloss finishes.

Since hot stamping transfers the die to a material's surface, many of you might wonder what kind of materials could be imprinted by this printing technic. Surprisingly, the range of materials is wide, including paper, plastic, carton, wood, glass, leather, etc.
