Hot Stamping
CMT Hot Stamping type and Dies
Hot stamping type requires a flat face character. This flat face character allows for more surface area of the die to be in contact with the part. This allows for faster transfer of heat and better and faster marking of plastic material. In addition, the wider face of the characters will allow for greater foil transfer to provide a clear contrasting mark.
