Process Requirements and Equipment Selection for 3D Hot Stamping

Represented by Swiss Bobst, these machines are evolving toward high speed, high precision, and easy operation.
Bobst equipment can achieve:
  • Up to 7500 sheets/hour
  • Precision within ±0.1 mm
It is currently one of the world's most advanced hot stamping systems and the primary choice for 3D hot stamping.

2. Cylinder-to-Cylinder (Rotary) Hot Stamping

Mostly used in web-fed, inline production.

Advantages:
  • Line contact eliminates potential bubbling issues found in flat-bed stamping
  • Higher speed and better quality
Disadvantages:
  • Both stamping plate and counter-die are cylindrical → difficult and costly to manufacture
  • Heat transfer is less efficient
Because of these characteristics, rotary hot stamping is not widely used and is typically adopted for large-volume, high-quality production such as cigarette, liquor, and health supplement packaging.
