Hot foil embossed labels are specialty labels that use metallic foil stamping and embossing to create a raised, reflective design. They provide a shiny, textured finish that adds a high-end feel to your product packaging. Foil and embossing are often applied to logos, borders, brand names, or special design elements for visual impact and tactile depth.
This type of label is often used for premium branding, gift packaging, personal care products, or limited-edition product lines.

✔️Emboss depth and position
✔️Material type (paper or film)
✔️Adhesive type (depending on surface)
✔️Back printing or perforation (on request)
We can also provide pre-production samples for confirmation before mass printing.
Q: Can you do both foil and embossing on the same label?
A: Yes, we specialize in combined hot foil + emboss processes for logos, names, or decorative frames.
Q: What kind of design files do you need?
A: Vector files like AI or PDF are best, with foil/emboss layers clearly marked. If you're unsure, we can guide you.
Q: Are these labels waterproof?
A: It depends on the material. Paper-based labels are not waterproof. For waterproof needs, choose PET film or similar.
Q: Can you do small quantities?
A: Yes, but hot foil + embossing requires custom dies. Minimum order quantity is typically 500–1,000 pcs depending on label size.
