Hot stamp silicone stamping dies carry graphics which are transferred via pressure to the surface of a product or component. Silicone hot stamp dies are made out of specially formulated silicone rubber materials that are engineered to withstand the extreme pressure and high temperatures associated with the hot stamp decorating process.
Silicone rubber dies are widely used for the application of hot stamp foil and heat transfer labels onto flat, contoured or cylindrical-shaped products.
Silicone stamping dies can be made of a variety of silicone formulations. An expert die manufacturer can help you select the optimal formulation for your unique performance requirements.
Durable, high-precision silicone dies deliver crisp, clean, impactful decoration to your part. Our silicone dies provide superior conformity to surface variations, excellent thermal conductivity, high-impact visual performance with a wide range of foils.
Additional Benefits:
Though the hot stamp and heat transfer decoration processes are very similar, a difference can be seen in the dies used. The molds used for hot stamp dies carry the image to be used. They are more complex than the molds used for heat transfer decoration where no graphic image is carried on the die (the image comes from the heat transfer label itself).
In addition to being able to provide you with expert advice on the type of silicone or metal die best suited to your unique application, a quality die supplier should provide:
