Overview of PET hot stamping foil

Overview of PET hot stamping foil
PET hot stamping foil is a decorative material based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, formed by vacuum aluminum plating or other metal treatment. It is widely used in various surface decorations, such as packaging, printing, home decoration, electronic products and automotive interiors. Due to its excellent optical effect, durability and environmental adaptability, PET hot stamping foil occupies an important position in the global market.

Composition structure of PET hot stamping foil
PET hot stamping foil generally consists of the following layers:

Substrate Layer: Mainly composed of PET film, with high strength, good optical transparency and excellent thermal stability.

Release Layer: This layer of material ensures that the hot stamping foil can be smoothly transferred from the substrate to the substrate during the hot pressing process.

Color Coating Layer: Give the hot stamping foil a variety of colors to meet different decorative needs. The color layer usually uses pigments with excellent light resistance and chemical corrosion resistance.

Metallic Layer: Through vacuum aluminum plating or other metal treatment, a metallic effect with extremely high gloss is formed. The metal layer can not only enhance the decorative effect, but also increase the barrier properties of the material.

Adhesive Layer: Used to make the hot silver foil firmly adhere to the surface of the substrate under the action of heat and pressure.
