DiesIn the hot stamping process, the key element is the matrix, which during the stamping process is responsible for the appropriate transfer of heat and compression force to the pressed surface. The pattern on the die determines the shape and structure of the pressed image. The matrices can be used both for pressing with coloured foils (hot stamping), as well as for making a subtle dry piston, i.e. embossing the printing substrate without the application of foil. The production of matrices takes place in the process of etching (magnesium, zinc) or engraving (brass matrices).
