Difference between heat transfer decals vs Hot stamping
17 August 2020
Heat transfer decals the next level of hot stamping.
What is the difference between Heat Transfers and Hot Stamping.
Both require heat, pressure, and dwell (time) to apply an image to a product, but where each differs is in the image itself.
Hot stamping images are generally one color, created by the art in the die, while heat transfers are pre-printed images using silkscreen printing, offset printing or digital printing.
As a result, heat transfers can be one color or multicolor.
What are the Benefits of Heat transfers vs Hot stamping, Silkscreen printing or Pad printing:
• Heat transfer is a Environmental friendly, dry process, unlike silk screen printing, pad printing and similar methods.
• There are no storage problems: flammable materials, strong odors or ink mixing.
• The product can be handled immediately after printing. There is no dry time.
• High quality images!
• Heat transfer is a ONE-step process, without pre-treatment and reducing the number of process steps required to apply a multi-color graphic.
• Reduction in the set-up time between jobs.
• Heat transfers can be used to decorate a wide range of materials including wood, glass and plastics like ABS, PE, TPE, PP, EVA, Tritan, Surlyn, PET, POM, GREEN and BIO plastics and many more.
