Superior Durability

Machines that adapt to evolving business needs are not simply a “nice to have”, they are often a must.

Some customers need a hot stamp machine that can be adjusted to decorate on a wide variety of different sized products. Others require systems that can perform multiple functions like hot stamp and heat stamp decoration, heat sealing or heat staking.

We´ve got you covered!

Hot stamp technology must be rigorously designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressure inherent in the hot stamp process. United Silicone hot stamp machines lead the market in durability. Some of our systems are known to run for more than 25 years!

User-Friendly Operation

Our hot stamp machines were built top to bottom for hassle-free performance. The user-friendly proprietary controller was designed specifically for decorating applications. In addition to easy job storage and modifications, features like tool-free foil changeovers and low or broken foil detection are available.

Superior Efficiency

Our hot stamp machines provide market-leading efficiency. For example our Magnetic Quick Change Dies provide up to 90x faster die changeover speeds as well as up to 50% improvement in mounting accuracy.

Small Area Decoration

SMALL Area - Vertical Hot Stamp Machines

US10 & US25

Small Area Hot Stamp Decoration typically targets smaller surfaces with the application of fine details or text.

This type of decoration requires high precision to ensure that the small graphics or fine text are applied cleanly and with sharp definition.

The US10 and US25 hot stamp machines have been industry mainstays in small area vertical hot stamp decoration for decades.

Our user-friendly machines are known for their flexibility (with a full range of adjustments with up to 16″ of working height and 8″ of throat depth) and durability (systems have been known to run for over 25 years!).

Large & Deep Area Decoration

LARGE Area - Vertical Hot Stamp Machines

US 40, US 75, & US 120

Ensuring even pressure and heat distribution over a larger surface area is critical to large-area hot stamp decoration.

United Silicone offers three sizes of large-area vertical hot stamp machines.  The US 40, US 75, and US 120 (4 ton, 7.5 ton, and 12 ton, respectively) hot stamp machines provide:

  • reduced setup time
  • high reliability
  • superior efficiency
  • smooth and quiet operation, and
  • simplified troubleshooting.

Deep & Large Container Decoration

US 25E-Frame

United Silicone has developed new technology that revolutionizes the ability to decorate “bulk”  reusable containers such as crates, bins, totes, roll-off carts, garbage cans, and industrial containers with a cost-effective 2.5-ton system.

Previously, the decoration of bulk containers needing more than 10” throat depth required users to select a more costly, higher tonnage system despite the fact that the extra tonnage was excessive for their artwork needs.

  • Industry leading 16 inch throat depth represents a 60% increase in what was previously possible with an affordable 2.5-ton system.
  • Available 51¨clearance is over 3x greater than that provided by alternative technologies.

Benefits and Considerations

Benefits

Hot Stamp Benefits
Benefit Description
Pigment, metallic, matte, and glossy colors Foil is better than ink processes at delivering shiny or mirror effect finishes.

  • Pigment and matte metallic colors can be achieved with both hot stamp and heat transfer.
  • Bright metallic can only be accomplished with hot stamp. This is because the plating method used in the manufacture of hot stamp foils is not achievable with the inks used in the production of heat transfer labels.
Dry process Unlike pad printing, hot stamping doesn’t use any wet ink or solvents. It is a dry decoration process using foil. There are no storage problems with flammable materials, strong odors, ink mixing, or messy clean-up; the decorated part is ready to be handled or packaged after stamping.
Instantaneous curing No post-curing allows immediate handling and packaging
Minimal setup time Artwork changeover on the same part requires a simple Die and/or Foil Roll change if transitioning from one color to the next.  No clean-up of inks and tools required.  Various tools available (including United Silicone’s magnetic die mounting system) to achieve ‘quick change’ transitions.
On-demand decorating Unlike In-Mold Labeling (IML) that requires decoration at the same time parts are formed, hot stamp decoration can be accomplished either inline with molding machines or offline utilizing parts from inventory. This provides greater flexibility for users. It is not necessary to have complete artwork at the time the part is made.
Semi-skilled operators When working with a dry process the equipment controls the process. Of course there are variables, but not as many as with other processes.
Opacity Foils have superior opacity in one hit/application.. Pigment foils provide solid colors in flat or gloss finish, equivalent to a thick layer of opaque ink.

Considerations

Object shape considerations

Flat or round objects are best suited for hot stamp or heat transfer, whereas objects with compound curves are not well-suited.
Object surface considerations

Objects with smooth surfaces are best suited for hot stamp or heat transfer, whereas objects with textured surfaces are not.
Changing artwork requires changing dies

Graphic images are achieved with Silicone or Metal Dies. A new Die is required with each change in artwork. United Silicone can schedule Die lead times to meet production requirements.
Speed of application

Dwell time requirements vary from instant contact to up to 3 to 4 seconds in order to have a complete transfer of a large image to the par
