Branding & Printing Method

Hot Stamping

Hot stamping uses heat and pressure to apply a controlled logo mark to suitable firm surfaces. It is considered for notebooks, portfolios and selected presentation items when the brief calls for a sharp, premium impression rather than a bright printed graphic.
