Hot stamping is a dry printing method. Here we need cliché to transfer different color of foils to a surface at high temperature. Widely used on leather, canvas, carton and paper. Hot stamping is used mainly for editorial pages, luxury catalogues, calendars, notebooks, menus, folders, invitations and other sophisticated materials.

First one is convex - we need two clichés pressing the material by both sides ( negative and positive) with high temperature. It could be used on thiner materials - paper, carton and etc. Second one is concave - touches the material with one cliché and concave only the upper part.
