FOIL STAMPING METHOD AND CORRESPONDING DEVICE

摘要

A foil stamping method and device according to which a surface of a printing product (D) is provided with an adhesive layer in places intended to be imprinted and a transfer layer sticking to the printing product (D) in places intended to be imprinted. Prior to foil printing, a build-up adhesive is applied to the printing product (D), instead of or in addition to the adhesive layer, in the places intended to be semi-embossed and the pressure acts evenly across the entire surface of the printing product (D), namely also on the raised places resulting from semi-embossing and the remaining surroundings during foil printing. A foil transfer means (3) has a transfer roller (31) and a foil feeding means (4) associated with the foil transfer means (3), the outer surface of the transfer roller (31) being covered with an elastic cover of a small thickness.

主权项

1. A foil stamping process, comprising:
providing a surface of a print product (D) with an adhesive layer at locations pre-determined for printing, applying a transfer foil (9) comprising a carrier foil and a transfer layer adhered thereto via a release layer to the print product (D) under application of pressure, whereupon the transfer layer remains adhered to the print product (D) at the locations to be printed, wherein prior to pressing the foil, instead of or in addition to the adhesive layer, a build-up adhesive is applied on the print product (D) at locations intended for pseudo-embossing, and wherein the pressing effect during pressing of the foil is distributed evenly over the entire surface of the print product (D), including arched raised areas with pseudo embossing and the rest of the surrounding area.
