Abstract
Abstract A hot stamping method enables the formation of very sharp edges and profiles of characters/numerals, patterns and the like upon a surface of a base plate. This method comprises a masking step making certain characters, numerals and patterns formed by a masking layer upon a surface of a base plate; a step of placing a foil sheet having an adhesive layer upon a surface of the masking layer and a surface of the base plate, and transferring a foil of the foil sheet to the surface of the base plate by means of heat and pressure; and a step of leaving the transferred foil upon the surface of the base plate and releasing the masking layer and the foil transferred to the surface thereof from the base plate.

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
