Members Jinglin Posted Saturday at 07:54 AM Members Report Posted Saturday at 07:54 AM Hot stamping tips | A professional guide to improving your hot stamping results Use High-Quality Foil – Enhances shine and adhesion for a professional finish. Test on Scrap Material First – Adjust temperature and pressure before stamping the final product. Adjust Settings for Different Materials – Example: Leather: 100-130°C, Paper: 80-100°C, Wood: 120-150°C. Regular Machine Maintenance – Clean stamps and heating plates to ensure long-term performance. Need specific stamping settings for leather, paper, wood, or plastic? I have organized them in the table below！！！ Recommended Hot Foil Stamping Temperatures for Different Materials Material Recommended Temperature (°C) Notes Leather 100-130°C Excessive heat may scorch leather. Test first; vegetable-tanned leather can handle higher heat, while coated leather requires lower temperatures. PU / Synthetic Leather 90-110°C High temperatures may melt the surface. Use lower heat and shorter dwell time for best results. Paper 80-110°C Laminated paper (e.g., business cards) may need higher temperatures, while standard paper requires lower heat to prevent scorching. Wood 120-150°C Hardwood requires higher temperatures, while softwood needs lower settings. Light-colored wood may show scorch marks. Plastic (PVC, ABS, etc.) 80-130°C Different plastics have varying heat resistance. PVC is prone to deformation, so use lower temperatures and short stamping times. Fabric / Textile 110-150°C Requires specialized foil. High heat may damage fibers, so adjust pressure accordingly. Acrylic 110-140°C Excessive heat may cause warping. Use short stamping durations and multiple light passes. Silicone 150-180°C Needs special silicone foil. Increase pressure for better adhesion. Glass 200-250°C Requires high-temperature foil. Ensure the glass surface is clean for even stamping. Metal 200-300°C Suitable for anodized aluminum and similar materials. Preheating the surface improves adhesion. Painted Surfaces 100-140°C Lower heat is recommended to avoid damaging the paint layer. Need specific recommendations for stamping on leather, paper, wood, or plastic?

Members Evierosie Posted 2 hours ago Members Report Posted 2 hours ago Great guide! The temperature breakdown is really useful. For leather, I’ve found that adjusting pressure and dwell time is key to avoiding scorching. Any tips for achieving crisp results on PU leather without over-pressing? Quote
