ABSTRACT:
A superimposed foil embossing method using both opaque foils and transparent pastel foils. A first flat stamping die transfers a first foil, which can be either an opaque foil or a transparent foil, from a first carrier ribbon to the paper stock. The first foil is transferred by the application of heat and pressure. A second flat stamping die transfers a transparent foil from a second carrier ribbon to the stock so that it is superimposed over the first foil. Since each foil is only transferred from the ribbon to the paper in the areas where the die touches the paper, the pastel foil can be applied directly to the paper and also superimposed over areas of the first foil. Thus, if the first foil is an opaque foil, the color combinations possible include the paper stock color, the first foil color, the altered color of the paper having the transparent foil thereon, and the altered color of the first foil with the transparent pastel foil embossed thereon. An embossing die and counter-die is usually used to emboss selected areas of the design to provide a finished, raised appearance.
