Hi everyone,
I'm currently gathering information on common problems encountered in the hot stamping process and would love to hear about your experiences. Whether you're working with leather, paper, plastic, or other materials, feel free to share any issues you've faced—like temperature control, misalignment, unclear stamping, foil not sticking properly, or even mold design challenges. Let's use this thread to learn from each other and find solutions together to achieve more consistent and high-quality stamping results!

I have just checked out your website and am wondering if the $ dollars shown are USA dollars? I am in Australia. The brass letter stamp sets look interesting. Also I think you can put a hot link to the JingLin business from the profile settings on here.

Thank you for the reply. I get asked a lot about stamps on a couple of Facebook forums that I moderate on in Australia so it is always handy to be able to offer up alternative answers. I supply a lot of molds and other stuff to other leather workers in my country. I have been using hot and foil stamping now for many years so I don't have many problems stamping the bags so long as the leather is suitable and the stamp is not too busy. Stamps that have a lot of large flat areas in them can be a problem so I advise customers of this and sometimes alter the artwork to work better.
