How to process pictures into metallic texture in PS

Hot stamping, also known as "bronzing". A printing decoration process. Heat the metal printing plate, paste the foil, and imprint gold words or patterns on the printed matter. With the rapid development of hot stamping foil and packaging industry, anodized hot stamping is more and more widely used.

product application

1. Ordinary gold and laser gold bronzing. Can be used for most products, including gold cards, silver cards, laser cards and glasses.

Hot stamping on glass cards is widely used.

2. Positioning holographic bronzing. Holographic laser positioning anodized aluminum is a special technical application in design. With corresponding anti-counterfeiting patterns, the anti-counterfeiting ability and quality of products can be greatly improved. This kind of anodic alumina is generally produced in China. Compared with imported goods, the price is cheaper, but the bronzing performance is slightly worse. The location of anodized by holographic laser is closely related to the control of hot stamping temperature, hot stamping pressure, vehicle speed and even hot stamping model.

3. Special application of anodic alumina in the process. Printing after ironing is a new idea for cigarette label design and printing industry. The application of this process has high requirements for anodic alumina.

4. gilding directly on the surface of UV varnish. The process itself has very high requirements for UV varnish and bronzing anodized aluminum. Pay attention to control the oil quantity when applying varnish, and try to ensure that the varnish coating of the whole batch of products is relatively stable, and the oil layer should be thin and flat. For anodized aluminum used for bronzing, it requires high temperature resistance, good adhesion and good adaptability to varnish bronzing (the resin type used in varnish matches the hot melt adhesive used in anodized aluminum bronzing). Among all products, this process has a small scope of application. In addition, the bronzing of anodized aluminum on gold, silver ink and matte oil also has high requirements for bronzing surface and bronzing anodized aluminum. If the ink particles on the bronzing surface are large or the surface is rough, it will directly affect the normal bronzing.
