  • Patent number: 9511619
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for hot stamping at least part of at least one band-shaped stamping foil (10, 20) onto a band-shaped substrate (30), as well as a corresponding hot stamping device. The substrate (30) to be stamped is brought together with one stamping foil (10, 20) of the at least one stamping foils (10, 20). The substrate (30) and the stamping foil (10, 20) resting thereon are guided along the periphery of a first heated stamping roller wherein, in a first stamping, a first stamping layer is stamped onto the substrate (30). The once-stamped substrate (30) is guided away from the first stamping roller and again brought together with the same or a further stamping foil (10, 20) of the at least one stamping foils (10, 20) after the first stamping roller in the direction of travel (33) of the substrate (30).

  • Patent number: 9266361
    Abstract: In a method for providing a substrate with an imprint, in which liquid printing ink is first printed on a strip and there made to dry at least partially, and in which the at least partially dried printing ink is transferred from the strip (B) to the substrate (S), in addition to the printing ink a transfer coating (F), in particular a decorative transfer coating, is also applied to the substrate (S). In particular, the transfer coating (F) can likewise be applied to the strip (B) first and transferred from the strip (B) to the substrate (S). Printing ink can be provided on the strip (B) next to, but also under or over the transfer coating.
