Hot Stamp as a label? (1 Viewer)

[i'm nobody]

Would it be possible (or even allowable) to mill some THC's and apply one of @Gear's labels that appeared to be a hot stamp?
Has anyone tried this? I love the look and feel of hot stamps but if you wanted to build a set without having to search and search for the right chips, how do you think the overall look would come out? I have been throwing around the idea but I need to get my cash set completed first before I can start thinking about another set.
Curious what the members think. And I would love to see some examples if someone has attempted it.

Can’t say I’ve seen @Gear labels that look like this but @hippieartworks/chips hippie offered labels like this way back when.

Might be pics somewhere around n PCF but I haven’t looked

I've thought about doing gold ink printed labels under an overlaminate to emulate hotstamps, but unsure how they'd turn out. Any even more complex option that would need to be tested out would be to mill, apply a blank laminated label printed to color match the base and then attempt to hotstamp that label...not sure if you could dial it in, but I think @AK Chip needs to try it out! haha

I would probably want to get the chips milled, send examples to @Gear, see if he can colour match the base and go from there.

I have one of these at home. I will try to post a pic tonight.

I've tried once but the result was underwhelming, it was long ago though.

Gear has said that it doesn't work very well, so he does not recommend it. I trust his professional opinion.

Seems to me that a faux hotstamp label would just look like a really boring inlay. Take the time to source the chips and get them stamped, it's worth it.

This is the only one I could find

@Gear replied in one of my threads asking the same thing in 2018...

I was also thinking about this again recently. Wondering what type of results one could get using base color same as chip, but instead of trying to replicate a hotstamp foil just using black or another color.
