Magnesium Photo Engraving plate (PE plate) is used for a variety of applications, particularly in the printing industry
A photosensitive coating applied to a special magnesium photo engraving plate allows the user to chemically etch an image into the magnesium plate after exposing a film negative and developing that image on the plate. The most popular use is in creating dies for foil stamping and embossing a variety of printed products including greeting cards, folders, brochures, book covers and packaging materials. Other applications for magnesium photo engraving plate include thermal 'kiss-cut' dies, flexography, nameplates, decorative plaques, recognition awards and fabric/leather embossing. New applications are continually being developed.
