Decorating—Hot Stamping
Hot stamping is a durable and precise method for applying logos, graphics, or text to plastic parts. The process involves using heat and pressure to transfer a colored foil onto the part’s surface, creating a permanent bond that can resist wear and damaging environmental factors.
Key advantages of hot stamping include:
- Efficiency: ideal for high-volume production, featuring fast setup and processing times
- Quality: produces clean, sharp images without requiring drying time
- Versatility: suitable for a broad range of part geometries and materials
Hot stamping is an invaluable extension of Lerner’s turnkey design and injection molding capabilities. The process is relatively quick but does require specialized fixtures and dies, which can add costs at the start of the project. However, the initial investment can be reduced for high-volume production runs, and, as with many manufacturing processes, it is possible to integrate automation to lower per-part prices over the long term.
Hot stamping and other custom plastic part decorating processes are frequently employed in consumer electronics, automotive, and medical device industries to enhance product functionality and aesthetics.
