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). The once-stamped substrate (30) and the stamping foil (10, 20) resting thereon are guided along the periphery of a second heated stamping roller wherein, in a second stamping, a second stamping layer is stamped onto the substrate (30). Finally the twice-stamped substrate (30) is guided away from the second stamping roller. |

A spacing interval control method is used in a sheet laminating apparatus for controlling a constant spacing interval between any two adjacent ones of multiple documents. The sheet laminating apparatus includes an automatic document feeding mechanism and a sheet laminating mechanism. By means of multiple sensors within the automatic document feeding mechanism, multiple documents are successively transported from the automatic document feeding mechanism to the sheet laminating mechanism at a constant spacing interval between any two adjacent ones of multiple documents. As a consequence, the documents after being heated or pressed by the sheet laminating mechanism will be cut into multiple separate and identical-sized laminated documents. |
