The unforgettable Heidelberg OHT-GTP

Here is an original Heidelberg OHT-GTP 34 x 46 cm platen press with hot foil stamping equipment from the former Schnellpressenfabrik AG Heidelberg, now Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG.

What is hot foil stamping?
Hot foil stamping is a finishing process similar to blind embossing, in which heat and pressure are applied using a STAMP to transfer a special embossing foil (often metallic or colored) onto a material such as paper, cardboard, or plastic to achieve shiny, elegant, or tactile effects—similar to a “glittering” or “deeply embossed” print that conveys value, as seen on luxury packaging, business cards, or book covers. The process removes a layer of the foil, which permanently bonds with the product.
