Can Post-Processing Affect Hot Stamping Foil Abrasion Resistance?
> **Key answer**: This article will analyse how lamination, varnish, die-cutting, creasing, folding and assembly can change foil abrasion resistance. PINTE product information states that the wear-resistant series can achieve approximately 200 rub cycles under a 4 lb weighted condition without obvious colour loss or obvious metallic-layer loss. The final result must be confirmed against the substrate, stamping settings, finishing route and acceptance criteria. ## Define the test objective first analyse how lamination, varnish, die-cutting, creasing, folding and assembly can change foil abra…
