Hot Stamping
Metallic foil application for logos and text with exceptional shine and detail.
What Is Hot Stamping?
Hot stamping, also known as foil stamping, is a premium decoration technique that transfers metallic or pigmented foil onto glass using heat and pressure. The result is a brilliant, reflective finish that conveys luxury and quality, making it one of the most popular choices for high-end fragrance and beauty brands.
The process uses a heated die, custom-made to match your artwork, which presses metallic foil onto the glass surface. Available foil options include gold, silver, rose gold, copper, holographic, and matte metallic finishes. The technique delivers exceptionally fine detail, capable of reproducing intricate logos, delicate typography, and decorative patterns with crisp edges and consistent metallic brilliance.
Hot stamping is particularly effective for branding elements that need to catch the eye on shelf. It works beautifully as a standalone technique or in combination with screen printing, spray coating, or acid etching. The metallic finish is durable and resistant to wear, ensuring the brand presentation remains pristine throughout the product's life.
The Process
Die Creation
A custom brass or silicone die is precision-engineered from your artwork. The die captures every detail of your logo, text, or pattern.
Foil Selection
Choose from gold, silver, rose gold, copper, holographic, and matte metallic foils. We provide foil samples to help you select the best match for your brand.
Stamping Application
The heated die presses the foil onto the glass surface with precise temperature and pressure control. Each bottle receives a clean, consistent transfer.
Inspection & Finishing
Every stamped bottle is inspected for foil adhesion, alignment accuracy, and detail clarity. Approved bottles move to packaging or the next decoration stage.
