METAL TYPE 
FOR HOT FOIL STAMPING

Our Metal Type is an economical solution for Hot Foil Stamping onto substrates such as leather, paper, card, vinyl etc.

 

Hot Foil Type or Letters are available as a complete set consisting of Capital Letters, Lowercase Letters, Numbers and Punctuations or simply Capitals or Lowercase on their own.


Capital letters are mostly used for stamping initials onto leather goods. 

Please note that Metal Letters are not as deep etched as Brass Letters. Metal type is designed for a print on the surface of the material and are not suited to make a debossed imprint.

Max temperature should not exceed 120°C for economy type otherwise letters can melt!


Furthermore, please switch off machine from wall socket when not in  use and never leave it switched on unattended. Keep away from children and warn others when the machine is hot! The machine can remain very hot for quite some time even after it has been switched off! Economy Type should be removed from the machine when not in use.

Brass letters are the preferred option when stamping onto extra soft surfaces in order to avoid misprints or 'filling in'.
