In order to get a 2-tone look, you must use the Distressed method:Distressed Heat Transfer Foil Method1) First, apply your adhesive (or adhesive substitute) as you would when applying any Heat Transfer Foil.
2) Take your Heat Transfer foil and crumple it. This will cause some of the foil to break off and crack.
3) Apply the distressed foil over the adhesive using the same instructions as already discussed above.
4) Always peel the foil COLD! Once again, the colder it is when you peel it, the better the results will be. It helps to rub the foil on a cold surface to help disperse the heat. Once you peel the foil, you will notice that the crumpling has caused the foil to produce a cracked, distressed look. You can certainly stop here if you wish to not apply another foil and simply have a one-colored distressed look. However, there are now cracks in the foil, creating openings for... less

In hot foil stamping for instance, which is needed in a variety of industries locally and abroad, Laser AG has three BOBST machines.
A VISIONFOIL 104 hot stamping machine, a MASTERFOLD folder-gluer and an EXPERTCUT 106 per flat-bed die cutter. These machines are the ultimate all-in-one solution for hot foil stamping along with die-cutting and stripping.
They can save business owners hundreds of dollars over buying three individual machines. This has a stamping format of up to 1,010 x 702 mm while the VISIONFOIL 104 has a 70/100 format throughout.
This machine is expected to be the heart of the production line for a variety of industries. These include the manufacture of cosmetics, food stuffs, chocolate, champagne, car parts and many more. It is efficient too with an output of 5,000 sheets in an hour in full format with eight foil webs.

It is a process in which heated type is pressed firmly against the item you are printing with a ribbon/foil between. The ribbon/foil transfers pigment from a polyester carrier onto the product. It can produce a high quality, permanent smudge-resistant mark. Hot stamp machines are typically used to mark non-variable codes such as date codes, lot numbers, expiration dates and product codes on labels or packaging.
Hot stamp coders feature engraved or cast type characters, dies or wheel numbering units – typically made out of metal or silicone. To change the code, the machine operator must manually change the type characters or slugs. This is a relatively easy task and can be easily achieved with basic training.
To make the mark, the block of characters/logo is heated and then stamped down by means of pneumatic air pressure. The raised surface of the characters makes contact... less
