A process and apparatus for hot stamp printing of hollow articles, particularly plastic containers, utilizing pigment coated films or foils. The apparatus uses a split die holder which contains one or more heated elements providing the indicia desired to be printed on the exterior surface of the plastic container. One-half of the die holder is fixedly positioned, and the second half of the die holder is adapted to be raised into position to enclose the hollow plastic container within the die cavity which has the same shape as the container being printed. A mechanical indexing source is utilized to move the bottle into the split die holder, and a single pneumatic source is utilized to close the split die holder around the bottle.
