Stamped Wire As One Product In Using Hot Stamp Machines

By Jerry Cole


Hot stamping is a method used in lithography and also used in dry printing in which a pre dried ink or a foil material is being used and which are placed in a surface with a very high temperature. This type of method is non polluting and was even used before in nineteenth century. Other materials which are also used are papers, plastics, etc.

Embossed book covers are being applied with this method type during the nineteenth century. Cable printing and wire printing are two most common uses today. A stamped wire is an example of the wire printing product. Most commonly used tools are foils and also silicon rubber dies or metal dies. The dies may be directly shaped or casted. Dies also carry high levels of details. These details are transferred to the material surface according to its shape.

Foils are consist of multi layered coatings that are transferred to the surface of the material. Foils which are non metallic contain color layers, adherence bases, and release layers. And foils which are metallic are going to replace color layers with either chrome or vacuum aluminum that is metallic. Metallic foils are available in many shades and color such as silver, gold, copper, or bronze.

In processing the products, hot stamping machines are the mainly used equipment. The first process of production is mounting and heating the die. The product is then placed under the heated and mounted die. Between the product and die is a painted or metallic roll leaf carrier inserted in between. Pressing down the die through its carrier and will imprint immediately the dry foil or paint to the material surface.

Machines that are used for stamped wires are very ideal because it provides clear and bright marking on the wire. The wires to be printed may be made from nylon, cross linked polyethylene, or Teflon. A hot stamp printing can be very durable and it is more similar to hot foil printing. And because stamp designs are getting more and more flexible, there are modern printers which are developed for allowing a very quick change in continuous hot stamps, print characters, etc.

The 4 four main advantages for choosing this method rather than other printing methods are the following. First, high quality machines. It produces clear and durable markings on wire products. And most modern printers now have lasers, engraved with a concave face for making sure that there are complete letters, even in smallest diameter wires are printed.

Second is there will be high productivity in the company. Because of the high technologies, companies now can make more and more productions compared to using old printers that takes time even during the installation. When companies have higher productivity, they will have lower costs, and if they have lower costs, they will have higher profits. And another important thing is they can deliver products to the customers on time.

Third, flexibility of the machine. These machines are flexible because the tools may be changed directly. You can just easily add logos, graphics, and some new characters. Its flexibility also differentiates your company from the competitors.

Fourth and last is project solution. Modern printers will surely provide you with great solutions. This is because it already have all necessary tools needed for production such as the components, parts and soft wares.
