Hot Stamping

Hot stamping uses a heated die on paper.
On PACHICA, the result of hot stamping resembles translucent wax paper.

the translucence reveals the yellow printing on the reverse, mimicking the gentle look of beeswax.

This is the first use of PACHICA for the jacket of a book.
For strength, over print varnish was used on the front jacket, and gloss polypropylene film on the back.
Etched metal dies are heated and stamped onto the paper, producing text that reveals the orange of the cover, as PACHICA becomes transparent under hot stamping.
