Stamping Foils
High-quality foils for reliable, long-lasting hot stamping results
PBE Marking Systems supplies a wide range of hot stamping foils designed to deliver sharp, durable, and visually striking prints across many industries. Whether you need metallic, pigment, or holographic finishes, we help you choose the right foil for your part, substrate, and machine setup.
With over 40 years of experience in hot foil stamping, we understand how critical foil selection is to print quality. We offer both stock and project-specific foils, and we can provide samples to test against your actual product and artwork.
What Are Stamping Foils?
Stamping foils are thin layers of colour or metallic film used in the hot foil stamping process. When combined with heat and pressure, the foil bonds to the surface of a product in the shape of the die or artwork being stamped.
Foils consist of multiple layers, including a release layer, colour or metal layer, and adhesive coating. They’re available in a wide variety of colours, finishes, and grades to suit different materials, applications, and visual requirements.
Types of Hot Stamping Foils We Supply
We offer a wide selection of foil types to support all kinds of hot stamping applications:
Metallic Foils
These create a bright, reflective finish, commonly seen in packaging, luxury branding, cosmetics, and promotional goods. Popular colours include gold, silver, copper, and coloured metallics.
Metallic Foils
Pigment foils offer flat, solid colours in gloss or matte finishes. They’re often used where metallics are not suitable, and where clear legibility or contrast is required.
Holographic Foils
Designed to create eye-catching, multi-colour effects that shift in appearance depending on lighting and angle. Frequently used in promotional packaging, security labelling, or decorative branding.
Choosing the Right Foil for Your Project
Selecting the correct foil involves considering:
- Base material – plastic, glass, wood, coated board, etc.
- Artwork size and level of detail
- Finish required – metallic, gloss, matte, holographic
- Application method – machine type, die temperature, stamping pressure
- Durability and resistance needs – rubbing, heat, chemicals
Our team will help you match the right foil to your machine and product. For new projects, we often supply samples for you to test before committing to a production run.
