METAL TYPE 
FOR HOT FOIL STAMPING

Our Metal Type is an economical solution for Hot Foil Stamping onto soft 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 Puntuations or simply Capitals or Lowercase on their own.
Capital letters are mostly used for stamping initials onto leather goods. 

However, it must be noted that Metal Letters are not as deep etched as Brass Letters. Brass letters are the preferred option when stamping onto extra soft surfaces in order to avoid misprints or 'filling in'.

Please Note: We regret that at present the economy metal type options are limited, as the machinery used for casting those sets has a fault and needs repair.

Please enquire to see which font styles we currently have available.
