Foil Stamping
Since 1949, OWOSSO has been producing high quality dies for special decorative effects like foil stamping with same-day service on nearly 100 percent of orders.
Foil stamping is a cost-effective, eye-catching form of heat transfer printing. Using a heated metal die, color pigments are stamped onto paper and other substrates. Dies can be produced on 16 gauge, 11 point, .080, ¼ inch, or .375 magnesium, 16 gauge or ¼ inch copper or ¼ inch brass.
