What is it

Hot stamping uses a heated metal plate to press metallic foil (gold, silver, rose gold, holographic) onto the product surface, creating a metallic-luster design. Delivers the ceiling-tier premium feel — irreplaceable visually despite higher cost. Common on gift boxes, leather goods, and paper products (invites, cards).
