Requirements
Hot-Stamps should be submitted as 100% black & white, camera ready art. 300 ppi @ print size or
higher is necessary to achieve a good stamp. We prefer electronic submissions to speed up the process;
if that is not possible, we can accept clean hard copies of your design. Files can be saved in grayscale mode (as opposed to CMYK or RGB) to save file size. Please have at least 1200 ppi @ print size if you are submitting a bitmap image. Acceptable file types are [ .psd | .tif | .jpg | .pdf | .ai | .eps ]Coverage Areas
Avoid solid coverage areas larger than a thumbnail.
Large solid areas do not stamp well because air gets
trapped and causes unwanted drop outs. Outlining
can help in most cases.
Minimum Line Width : 1pt
Maximum Line Width : 18pt
Bridging
Areas of detail that are too small may bridge (fi ll in). Particularly when a very fine line is created between two dark areas. Very fine lines in conjunction with solid areas can produce “cut-through” from uneven distribution of stamping pressure.
Text
Text sizes should be 12 points or higher to avoid letters bridging. Select fonts that are well spaced within each character. While these are both 12 point fonts, the second example will fill in.
Sprue
Whenever possible, leave space in the center of your design. The sprue on the underside of the disc can vary in size from disc to disc. This variance can cause unsightly drop outs.Blank Hot-Stamp Templates
