PVC hot stamping foil is a widely used material in printing and decorative industries. It is designed to transfer color, metallic, or patterned designs onto surfaces through heat and pressure. Understanding its material composition helps explain its functionality and applications.
The primary material in PVC hot stamping foil is polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PVC serves as the base film and provides flexibility, durability, and heat resistance. Its smooth surface ensures that the foil can transfer designs evenly onto various substrates, including paper, plastic, wood, leather, and textiles.
On top of the PVC base, the foil contains a color layer or metallic layer. This layer provides the visual effect, such as gold, silver, holographic patterns, or solid colors. The metallic layer is typically made of aluminum or other metalized coatings that enhance reflectivity and create a bright, attractive finish.
An adhesive or heat-activated layer is applied over the color or metallic layer. This layer melts or softens under the heat and pressure of the stamping process, allowing the design to adhere firmly to the target surface. The adhesive ensures that the transferred image is clear, durable, and resistant to peeling.
Some PVC hot stamping foils may also include protective coatings to improve scratch resistance and maintain the surface finish after stamping.

The Wuxin Technology Metal Texture series heat transfer film can be directly laid on the surface of decorative boards and grating boards made of materials such as ABS, WPC, and PP without the need for cutting. Then, by applying appropriate temperature and pressure through a heat transfer machine, the transfer can be completed, presenting a rich and textured metal texture decorative effect on the product surface.
