Profile & Rigid Substrate Hot Stamping Foils
High-Adhesion Metallic Finishing for Plastics, Caps, Appliances & Glass
When your substrate isn't flat paper — it's a curved cosmetic cap, a textured appliance panel, or a rigid plastic part — ordinary hot stamping foil simply fails. It lifts, flakes, or refuses to bond.
GL Foils' Profile & Rigid Substrate Hot Stamping Foil is engineered specifically for these demanding 3D surfaces. With a specially formulated adhesive layer optimized for non-porous and irregular substrates, it delivers mirror-grade metallic brilliance that rivals electroplating — at a fraction of the cost, with none of the environmental burden.
Key Features
Strong adhesion on rigid & curved substrates — bonds reliably to ABS, PP, PC, PVC, PET and other plastics without lifting or edge flaking
High metallic gloss — mirror-like finish replicates the premium look of electroplating
Resistant to alcohol, chemicals, moisture & abrasion — suitable for daily-use consumer products that face repeated handling
Electroplating alternative — delivers equivalent visual impact while being RoHS, REACH & VOC compliant and significantly more eco-friendly
Wide stamping temperature range — compatible with flat-bed, cylinder and rotary machines at varying speeds
Sharp edge definition — zero bubbling or flaking even on embossed or relief-textured surfaces
Compatible Substrates
Rigid Plastics: ABS · PP · PC · PS · PVC · PETG · AS · PE plastic parts
Coated & Specialty Caps: UV-coated caps · PU thermoset caps · masterbatch color caps · aluminum roller-printed caps
Soft Packaging: PE/PP soft tubes · rigid plastic packaging
Sheet Materials: PET · PVC · PE plastic sheets
Other Surfaces: Glass · ceramic surfaces
Recommended Stamping Temperature
Flat-bed: 110–150℃
Cylinder: 135–170℃
Rotary: 170–220℃
Engineer's Note: For UV-coated caps or highly non-porous substrates, we recommend starting at the upper end of the flat-bed range and running a 5-sheet transfer test before full production.
