Components, a custom plastic injection molding company,
offers hot stamping services as one of our value added
processes. Through heat and pressure, hot stamping transfers
a dry film to a substrate, such as a thermoplastic material.
Its ability to apply a shiny metallic foil print makes
hot stamping different from any other method of printing.
A brilliance that cannot be duplicated with ink, hot
foil stamping is employed in a diverse range of custom
plastic consumer and industrial parts or components.
Let Aline create hot stamped products that provide economical
yet attractive solutions for your application.
With Aline's advanced hot stamping equipment
and machinery, we can accommodate a wide variety of
dies for manufacturing simple and complex custom plastic
parts or components. Flat, round, convex, concave, spherical,
oval, square, triangular, and even multi-faceted parts
can be made precisely and efficiently to your exact
specifications.
Advantages of Hot Stamping at Aline
Components
- Hot stamping does not involve solvents
or require drying.
- Lot or batch number and dates can
be inserted into the hot stamp die.
- With proper layout, we can hot stamp
two colors from a single die.
- Hot stamping can be done on a variety
of plastic substrates.
- Hot stamping produces a consistent
and easy-to-read imprint with every order.
Our value added hot stamping process offers
the advantages of fast and inexpensive set-ups, excellent
quality and durability, plus the capability for consecutive
serial numbers and bar codes. At Aline Components, we
offer a wide selection of foil film sizes (widths and
thickness), finishes, and colors such as colored metallic,
multidimensional patterns, gold, silver, solid single
color finishes, and more. We have many standard dies
available and can order special custom dies for a nominal
additional charge. Our expert design and engineering
specialists are available to help you develop the solution
you want and need.
Aline's Hot Stamping
Process
A thermal bonding technique, hot stamping results in
the permanent adhesion of stamped foil to the targeted
plastic surface. Hot stamping is a manufacturing and
finishing process in which an engraved plate (hot stamp
die) compresses a foil film onto a custom plastic part
or component for a specified duration which makes an
imprint of the pattern from the engraved plate.
During the hot stamping process, it is
important that the part be firmly supported and designed
to withstand stamping force. Additionally, the stamping
die must be designed in such a way that no air is entrapped
between the die and the part. In the plastic manufacturing
process, we take your order's criteria into account
early in the design phase to accommodate force in hot
stamping. Additionally, we work directly with leading
die manufacturers to obtain dies that are ideally suited
for your plastic part or component. For the best adhesion
results, we make sure that our parts are clean and free
of oil, grease and mold release.
