Hot Foil Stamping

Posted by leethesign99 on 24 October 2004 at 09:23

Hello all,

Now, this may seem daft, but as a kindly (and slightly looney) professor-type according to some, I have a question to ask of anyne who has been into hot foil printing.

I recently had an enquiry for a fairly large amount of hot-foil stamped items, and as I had seen Becky’s machine for sale I thought I might have a go at these things.

Well, Becky’s machine sold before I could get to it, but I think I’ve found another. Now, here’s the rub…….can anyone tell me where I can get the following: dies, the ususal consumables – foils etc, and -quite importantly -a book of destructions, ’cause I haven’t the faintest idea how these things work.

Where we are based here in Spain, there’s a massive market for promotional items, and I have decided to expand the business in that direction, hopefully just in time for Xmas.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Cheers me dears

first step should be, to join 1 of the 2 monthly mag groups.

try

http://www.hotfoilprinting.org

there you will find most of the suppliers for foil and blanks.

spee-dee ltd

01244 539638 sell almost everything.

Alison Fleming`s ” a guide to the whole business” is concidered the hot foil bible. Available from hotfoilprinting.org

hope this helps.

Thanks guys for the info…I’ve been to the foilink site, but found only stuff that was 18 months old…….am I in some sort of time warp or what?????????

I think I’ll try again – in the meantime, has anybody got their ‘phone number?

Hi guys,

Thanks again for all your advice. I’ve been in touch with Foilink and Hot-Foil-Stamping, so I think I’m stamped out now……..

Here we go – I luv something new to lose money with.

Oh……we’re all fed up here ’cause it’s started raining today. That’s the second time in only four months. What a sod, Eh?

The Rain in Spain tra-la-la-la etc etc

Bye for now
