Hot Foil Stamping Plate Making

Plate  or die making is the key of hot foil stamping. Water soluble  photopolymer plate is currently the simplest, fastest and least¡ªcost  plate making method. We are supplying a die making kit to our customers,  once they own this kit, they can make hot foil stamping die by  themselves.

In the process of foil stamping, it is used to exposure. The printed transparency film and photopolymer plate touches each other closely. Turn on the power, the UV rays shine through the film and to the plate, the light part of the plate will have a photochemical reaction, and changes into some other thing that will not soluble in water. After cleaning the plate, this part can be left as a raised part. While the light-tight part of the film block the rays so this area of the plate can be soluble in the water when you washing the plate.

A4  Photopolymer Plate

The plate material is UV photosensitive and when  exposed to an ultraviolet light through a high contrast negative, the UV. cross  links the polymers and hardens the image. The unexposed portion of the negative  is washed off in plain water, dried and post exposed.

Size: 8" 1/4 X 11" 3/4 (210mm X 297mm)
Relief: 0.026" (0.68mm)
Base: 0.008" (0.2mm)

Items Included:

1) 1 set of 12"x7.7" Exposure Unit (010002)
2) 2 pcs of A4 Photopolymer Plate (010006)
